00:00Speaking of bedding slips, let's take a little deep dive into the NFC current standings divisionally.

00:09You know who the big heavy hitters are. Detroit Lions playing fantastic football. The Eagles

00:14were flying up until week 16. The Rams. Could Matty Stafford be getting set to orchestrate

00:21a bit of a run into the postseason? And the Falcons. Michael Pennix Jr. keeping that season

00:26moving in the right direction. But take a look at the wildcard contenders coming out

00:31of the NFC. Let's start with the Minnesota Vikings. I think you're big on their chances

00:36Joe and rightfully so. 13-2 for their season but they're still not getting any buzz. Yeah

00:43it's. They're not. And I don't know. I can't take them seriously. Although I give credit

00:52to Sam Darnold and and what they have been able to do. I believe the number is now which

00:58is hysterical. I believe he's won 13 games here with the Minnesota Vikings. And I think

01:04he won combined in his years with the New York Jets a total of 13 games. So he's matched

01:10his career total of wins when he was with the Jets for four years there in one season

01:15with Minnesota. Listen it's also not the first reclamation project that we have seen right.

01:21Baker Mayfield and the Bucs had a heck of a run last year right. Guys resurrecting their

01:27careers here. Sam Darnold's just another one. We saw Joe Flacco do it last year with the

01:33Browns right. It's not unheard of but I do think there's limitations to this. As good

01:39as the Vikings have been the schedule has not been all that great. And they have been

01:44they've got a couple of lucky bounces along the way to get to their win total. The Rams

01:50own the Vikings as crazy as that is because the Rams right now I believe the Rams win

01:55the West which means they would host the playoff game because the Vikings are a wildcard spot

02:01unless something changes with Detroit. So not that the Rams have a great home field

02:06advantage but boy oh boy I mean history tells us the Rams would definitely be the team even

02:12at nine wins there that could pick off the Vikings there and make life real easy. That

02:17Rams team is playing great football and should not be discounted to up end. I don't think

02:23they'll be a favorite in that Minnesota matchup if that's the way it goes Dubs but my goodness

02:29the Rams Matt Stafford and that young defense finally starting to come together and you got

02:34a pretty head coach Darren McVeigh. I think the Rams are dangerous here and could very

02:39well make us some money here down the stretch as a nice underdog.
