00:00The game that's going to take place in the NFC North.

00:02It's the Minnesota Vikings.

00:04J.J. McCarthy booed at home, and rightfully so, with that game versus the Chicago Bears.

00:10He didn't look good early.

00:11He actually brought them back late for a touchdown, but a late field goal gave the Bears the victory.

00:14The Green Bay Packers, I guess they're getting booed soundly there.

00:18They should have gotten booed in the Meadowlands.

00:20They almost lost to Janus Winston and the New York Giants, but they pulled out that victory,

00:23and now they head home back to Lambeau.

00:25Six-and-a-half-point favorite now for the Green Bay Packers over Minnesota, and a total very low, Joe.

00:31Some markets as low as 40-and-a-half right now in this football game.

00:35Is Green Bay going to walk over this game?

00:37We don't even know if they're going to have the starting running back back there.

00:39They have struggled on offense.

00:41Or J.J. McCarthy, he's just not ready for prime time.

00:45Yeah, I mean, not good here at all, Donnie, for this Green Bay team.

00:51You have to worry.

00:52I mean, the last couple of games that they played, you know, at home, they were favorites,

00:58and then they lose both of those games outright.

01:01They have no wide receivers who can gain any separation at all.

01:06No defenses fear anybody they have.

01:08The Vikings defense and Brian Flores certainly aren't going to be worried about that.

01:14And the one thing we know about Jordan Love is that if you pressure him, things go sideways.

01:21No running back.

01:23No terrible matchup.

01:25And the problem is, do we trust McCarthy enough to be able to score in this game in order to get it done?

01:31I feel like this is an under waiting to happen, Donnie.

01:34I don't trust either offense here.

01:36I think the under might be the best look in this game.

01:38Okay.
