00:00All right, so now let's go to Monday Night Football. The game is now going to be played in Glendale, the home of the Cardinals. Vikings will take on the Rams.
00:07Vikings were one-point favorites. They've moved up to 1.5-2, depending on where you see the game on the sportsbook that you're using. Total of 47.5.
00:16I think the odds makers are a little scared to make the Vikings a bigger favorite here, Matt, because of their playoff history.
00:21It feels like every year, they're rolling into the playoffs and then something goes wrong for them, but the Rams are not really a team I trust either. This is a tough one for me.
00:30No, they played well down the stretch and they're one of two teams that beat the Vikings this year. It's sort of a tough draw for the Vikings in that regard.
00:38But I do think the Vikings are the better team. This is one of those situations where people are really remembering what they saw last.
00:45And what they saw last was Sam Darnold looking like pre-2024 Sam Darnold. And I think people have a real problem getting that out of their heads.
00:54And look, they're playing a team with a Super Bowl winning coach, Super Bowl winning quarterback, some really dynamic players and a young defense that's played a lot better this year.
01:01I don't know how much the move to Arizona changes things. We know that the Rams don't have a great home field advantage, but I don't think it helps them.
01:09And I just think the Vikings are the better team. The coaching is perhaps the great equalizer.
01:15Obviously, they know each other very, very well. That might be an advantage for Sean McVay, but I do like the Vikings here.
01:21I like them to win by a field goal. If that number keeps ticking up, maybe look at the Rams side, but that's the way I'm looking at this one.
