00:00Two dome teams playing in a dome neutral environment tonight last week. Not really

00:04happy with what we saw out of Sam Darnold. Wasn't very good against Detroit. A chance

00:07to bounce back but also understanding Matthew Stafford is going to be playing in this football

00:11game with his play caller McVay who's wonderful. We know that and also healthy and rested. Maybe

00:17we see more a little about Cooper Cup but let's get to the quarterbacks itself. 242.5 is Matthew

00:21Stafford's prop. Sam Darnold's updated is 264.5. The touchdown pass is usually typically listed at

00:27the FanDuel Sports. We've got over one and a half. Juiced with Matthew Stafford at 114. Much more

00:32juice on Sam Darnold at 168. How are you attacking the quarterback position tonight, Tom? As I said,

00:38Darnold did not look good last week, right? 18 of 41 when it comes to his passing. What's the most

00:43important thing if the Vikings were to win this game? Do they want to go into next week at

00:48Philadelphia saying, oh it was great that Aaron Jones had over you know 20 carries and 100 yards

00:53on the ground and Sam Darnold ended with 150 yards? Like no, they need to have the confidence

00:58on offense to say Sam Darnold can go punch for punch with an Eagles offense and they need to

01:03build that confidence. So what does that lead to? It leads to the Vikings pushing things into a

01:06passing game script tonight because if they were to beat the Eagles, hypothetically, which I don't

01:10think will happen, they have to then go head to head with the Lions. And again, having a strong

01:14running game against the Lions is not the way to beat them. It's going punch for punch with golf

01:18and that offense and that leads to more and more passing. So Darnold building the confidence on the

01:23entire offense via the passing game is what has to happen tonight. So Darnold over 33 and a half

01:29passing attempts is where I think things will lean. Can we look to the completions? Sure. Can

01:33you look to the yards? Sure. Donnie in the last segment over on one and a half passing touchdowns

01:38also totally fine, but it has to start with them moving the ball in the air. Now we can look to,

01:43oh, we can say, oh, he's been passing a lot. It's going to go to Justin Jefferson. It's going to go

01:47to Addison, Hawkinson, whatever it might be, but it has to start with Darnold being productive tonight.
