00:00Vikings and Packers playing to a total of 41 and a half.

00:03I can't remember the last time these two teams played

00:05and no one expected four or five touchdowns in a game,

00:08but Green Bay's offense has been dreadful

00:10and the only team worse in that division has been Minnesota.

00:13They just can't get out of their own way offensively.

00:15And man, that picture there of Justin Jefferson,

00:17wouldn't they like to get him going?

00:19Green Bay minus six and a half at home.

00:22Feels like a big number to me.

00:23I don't like Minnesota at all, Tom,

00:25and I don't think they're headed in the right direction,

00:26but can the Packers beat anybody by a touchdown?

00:30Last week, they didn't cover either.

00:31Yeah, that's a good point.

00:32I don't like where the Vikings are.

00:34I don't like the way that JJ McCarthy has been playing as of late.

00:37He has looked terrible, especially the last four weeks.

00:40Obviously, we're dealing with smaller sample size.

00:41Just he hasn't played the whole season.

00:43When it comes to EPA per play, success rate, CPOE, any of these numbers,

00:47McCarthy is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league sitting at 31st or 32nd.

00:51But to your point, the Packers,

00:53even with all these offensive options that they have,

00:55which are a little bit banged up at the time,

00:56it's not like they're running away with games.

00:58And the only way the Vikings would keep this close would make it ugly.

01:02So, and I don't want to say, like, hi, JJ McCarthy,

01:05but part of me feels like that's what they need to do.

01:07They don't want him dropping back 35 or 40 times against this pass rush,

01:10which has been excellent.

01:11And so I see an under, and I see the Vikings covering.

01:14And so I see an under, and I see the Vikings covering.
