00:00All right, let's take you straight to Dublin, Ireland, where Croke Park is going to be hosting the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers game, 9.30 a.m. Eastern Time on Sunday morning, 2.30 p.m. local time in Dublin, Ireland.
00:13How is AccuWeather predicting what weather conditions we can expect?
00:18Well, 49 degrees, real field temperatures around 46, it's going to warm up as the game progresses, so we're looking at somewhere in the mid-50s in the fourth quarter.
00:27Also, partly sunny and a light breeze, winds only 6 to 8 miles per hour.
00:32So what does that tell me? Ideal weather conditions for a football game, so how am I handicapping it?
00:38Let's dive into it. I'm going to take the Minnesota Vikings, minus 2.5.
00:42I think they're the better team, and also I think they've got even better at the quarterback position with Carson Wentz and running the football with Jordan Mason.
00:49And let's not forget, Jordan Addison, wide receiver, gets back into the mix after his suspension.
00:54Not only that, favorites have excelled in international games, 32-18 against the spread.
01:00I'm also going to play the under at 41.5.
01:03Unders have hit over 50% of the time, and this Minnesota Vikings defense is really good.
01:08They don't give up a lot of touchdowns.
01:11So how am I going to play some of the prop bets on Sunday morning?
01:15Jordan Mason, the running back, I'm going to go any time touchdown.
01:18I mean, heck, he scored two last week.
01:20Also, tight end T.J. Hawkinson for the Minnesota Vikings, I'm going to go over 37.5 receiving yards.
01:26Carson Wentz loves to target his tight ends.
01:29Aaron Rodgers, I'm going to go under 30.5 pass attempts.
01:33He's only dropping back 54% of the time.
01:36The Pittsburgh Steelers are running the ball a lot, and I think they're going to have a difficult time against this Minnesota Vikings defense as well.
01:42And last but not least, field goals.
01:44Give me the longest, over 50.5, and also I'm going to go over 3.5 total field goals in the game.
01:51Because of AccuWeather's weather prediction, I think they're going to be kicking the ball a lot,
01:56and both these field goal kickers are very proven.
01:59Boswell is definitely proven in the win, but he really doesn't have to worry about,
02:03again, considering it's only going to be 6 to 8 miles per hour.
02:06Enjoy the game on Sunday morning.
