00:00We're getting you ready now for Monday Night Football.
00:02We close it out in the NFC North with the Vikings and the Bears.
00:07I'll just say this right off the bat, Joe.
00:09From an odds outlook perspective, I think that this is such an important game
00:15because, and again, we talked about this.
00:18I was impressed by Green Bay, but not like all the way,
00:21oh my goodness, the greatest team of all time.
00:23But I think Detroit could be in some trouble.
00:26And then we get to this game here tonight.
00:28Let's say the Bears hang it on Minnesota, right?
00:31It's like, okay, I think they're going to be in the race.
00:33Maybe, you know, and maybe that's the way I'm leading.
00:35But maybe Minnesota impresses here.
00:37JJ looks great.
00:38They have a chance.
00:39I think the winner of this game, they're not going to be booked
00:42with the second best price to win the North.
00:44But I think they're, again, I think you can overreact and shift odds massively
00:48if one of these teams puts up a really impressive performance.
00:52With that said, are you backing a side here tonight on Monday Night Football?
00:56It's, the line to me suggests that it's Vikings tonight.
01:02And the reason why I just say that is because we're giving all this credit
01:05to JJ McCarthy and making him a road favorite,
01:09and he hasn't even started a game yet.
01:11And so when you look at this line, you say,
01:14how could the Vikings be favored on the road,
01:18even though it's Ben Johnson making his first career start?
01:21Caleb is a second-year starter.
01:23You have players like Adunze and, you know,
01:27all of those playmakers that are in that offense.
01:29Now with Loveland and Cole Komet is still there.
01:32And so I just, it looks like a Minnesota line.
01:36Now, the total I think is interesting because we saw fireworks with Buffalo
01:42and Baltimore, and they lived up to the billing.
01:45You know, 43-and-a-half typically is some of the lines that we had last year
01:49with Caleb and Sam Darnold.
01:51And, again, these games struggle to get through their totals, respectively.
01:57And here we go tonight.
01:58I'm going to play it.
02:00Minnesota, I think, is the side.
02:02I don't love it, but I think I give more.
02:05This line just seems tricky to me.
02:07I mean, everybody's in love with Ben Johnson.
02:10Everybody's in love with Caleb Williams,
02:11and they're catching one-and-a-half at home.
02:14This isn't the Bills, right?
02:15You know, so I don't have confidence that Ben Johnson's going to be able to step up
02:20and be this dominant head coach in game number one.
