the seven, and one Minnesota Vikings visiting
the six, and two bills. I've been telling my son
who is overly invested in the Vikings this year over the top
unbelievable worse than I was. When I was his age, I've been
telling him get ready. It's coming.
Enjoy the wins while you can the ass-whipping is coming
in Buffalo. However,
I don't think Josh Allen's going to play Chris and I'm
going to go first on this. You always make me go first on
the fights, right? Yep. I'm taking Minnesota to win this because
I don't think Josh Alan's gonna play.
And even though the Case Keenum Stefon, Diggs Bizarro
Minneapolis Miracle angle is fascinating. I think
the Vikings
they have gradually built confidence and that confidence
leads to more confidence leads to more confidence and I think
they believe they can go in there especially they don't
have to face Josh Allen
and win that game.
I've got To twenty four twenty or more conventional score
than than the one that I picked for bucks. Seahawks. So I just
this is pasta and meatballs
and I'm actually going against what I want to do. What I want
to do is say the Vikings are going to lose because I think
they're on the front end of a tough stretch, they've got
the bills, the Cowboys, the Patriots in the Jets, the next
four games,
but they get lucky. They got the Shamrock up their asses,
you say
they're facing another team. That
that, I believe won't have it starting quarterback. So
I think they pull it off. Off and get 28 in one somehow. Yeah
I mean I'm I'm interested in this game. I mean here's the thing.
Like do we think the Vikings going to be able to run
the ball, you know, on the bills. Like we've seen the Jets last
week and and the pet, you know, the Packers, at the end of that
game before that, you know, what do you, what's your
thoughts, there? You think they're going to be able to
pull that off and run the ball down this bills defense?
Well, I mean the Vikings have been balanced this year they.
And, and there was something that, you know, Dalvin cook. If
he stays healthy,
He's
what I saw from Layton that game, there was a level of
determination. He made a great catch to help tie this game up
again, they after that interception, he grabs his
helmet. I mean, he's got, you know, he's got an extra burst,
I mean, you know, he's in year what five now, right? He's
getting closer to the end than the beginning, five or six.
I think it s 18 19, 20 22 gr6. Yeah,
you're six the fingers. The fingers always come in handy in
moments like this.
But you know, how, How much does he have left? And that was
his younger brothers in the league, you know, I think he
realizes all the things he wants to accomplish. There
aren't many chances left and he's really got an extra level
and Alexander Madison. When he
gets chances, he gets it done and you see, Justin Jefferson
getting the ball in his hands. And TJ Hawkinson has made
a difference in the Run game and the pass game you get in
blocking some, you get him catching passes, nine targets,
nine catches when he
had four days to get ready. This is a team that I think
understands they have an opportunity to Go for it. In
the defense, has gotten better on the Fly and you know, Chris
with all those injuries on the back end for the bills defense.
You had Justin Jefferson. You got Adam thielen, you got TJ
Hawkinson. I just, you know, again, I don't think it's going
to be,
you know,
a 35-point explosion by the Vikings, but I think they can
hold their own in score enough points. And without Josh Alan,
you're not going to need to score as many points. Yeah,
I know. And I'm going to take the bills to win no matter
what I am. Now
I'm going to play a little bit of the desperation thing here.
You know not playing well last week, the way their defense was
You know, run on late in the football game that they're
going to kind of
buck up and do something here.
And then you know, I do worry about, you know kind of what
you brought up. If the Vikings do have some success in running
the ball,
the bills are in big trouble because then it is going to be
the play action just in Jefferson and thielen and
Hawkinson and it'll be too much to them to stop and we've seen
that formula hurt Buffalo before and years past
that's why they got killed by the Colts last year. And
the year before that barely beat Them in the playoffs because
there was a little like, Whoa, We Can't Stop their power Run
game and now it opens up all
this other stuff
and I do, but I'm going to still go with what I've thought
all year. That this is a different Bills football, team
know. And and and that
yeah I know the one thing I didn't check his Matt Milano,
status to the football game. Is he going to be back as he still
allowed to? We know that for sure.
Don't know, you know, that'll make a difference especially
you know going sideline to sideline on Dalvin cook. All
that. Yeah, so he was at practice,
I don't know. There's a part of me in my heart of hearts that
thinks Josh Allen will play. If I had to say Josh Allen's in
a play, I'm gonna go like bills, 28
Vikings 20 if he doesn't play.
I'm gonna go, I would like to go like bills 22:17 something
like that. That's kind of like how I look at it. You got to
pick Y? No, you gotta pick. I know. So I'm going to take I'm
going to take them to cover the spread no matter what. I'm just
gonna go 2420 here bills
and I think they're going to win even if Josh Alan's not
there, I think Case Keenum will execute the passing offense
enough and they'll defense will keep a minute till they'll get
it done.
