00:00So, if you look at the odds for our next game to discuss in the

00:06Twin Cities, it would seem rather simple. The Vikings,

00:10five and a half point favorite, a ten and two football team

00:14that is covered in eight of their ten wins. Minnesota

00:18should cruise against an Atlanta team. Oh boy. They have

00:22dropped three straight. Kirk Cousins has thrown six

00:25interceptions in total in these three consecutive losses. They

00:29haven't covered in four in a row. It should be simple for

00:34the Vikings and yet, I feel as though this weirdly might be

00:39the spot for the Dirty Birds to strike an upset. How do you

00:42feel about this Minneapolis matchup on Sunday? So, Kirk

00:48Cousins gets to go play with the team that he left for the

00:53bag of money that Atlanta was giving him. My goodness, what

00:57fun is this game going to be and I'm kind of, I'm kind of

01:01with you here. Listen, the thing that impressed me the

01:03most about Atlanta last week has nothing to do with Kirk

01:08Cousins and the four INTs because you're always going to

01:10get that from Kirk Cousins. It's who he is. Yeah. But Ben,

01:13the whole knock on Atlanta was defensively, they couldn't get

01:16to the quarterback. They couldn't get any pressure. They

01:19couldn't get any sacks. They couldn't. They had no edge

01:22rush. They had nothing and then I'm watching Atlanta

01:25defensively last week finally put it together and they were

01:28hitting Herbert left and right. He was under constant duress.

01:34If that defense shows up here against Minnesota and does that

01:37to Sam Darnold. Yeah, you could get the you can get the Sam

01:42Darnold version of Kirk Cousins last week with four

01:45interceptions. So, I think Atlanta very much live in this

01:49one here. I think the five and a half is kind of all it tells

01:53you everything, Ben. Why five and a half? So, it's not quite

01:56a touchdown but it's still more than a field goal. It's kind of

02:00in no man's land that number. I think Atlanta is very much

02:04alive to not only cover but win this game outright.
