00:00A couple of great divisional duels this week in the National

00:06Football League. None better than what we will see in

00:09Minneapolis. The Vikings return from London with a five and oh

00:12record. A bye week to get rested and refreshed and now host the

00:17Detroit Lions to in week number seven and what a matchup we

00:23have. The five and oh Vikings along with Kansas City, one of

00:25two remaining undefeated teams in the NFL and a five and one

00:29Lions team that after the dismantling of Dallas last week

00:33at the star, Joe, many are looking at Detroit as maybe the

00:37best team in the conference in the NFC as a whole. Fifty and a

00:42half is the total. One of a handful of games that features

00:46a total of fifty or higher this weekend and in the Monday, the

00:51Vikings though, a home favorite. Will it be Minnesota's first

00:55loss of the season or will the Vikings be the team making the

00:59statement on Sunday over Detroit? Yeah, I mean, listen

01:03just terrible what happened to Aiden Hutchinson in that game

01:07there with the broken tibia and and obviously going to miss him

01:10for the rest of the season considering that he was

01:13responsible for more than half of the pressures on other

01:17quarterbacks from this Lions defense. He is probably just

01:21absolutely indispensable and you know, I don't care who they

01:24throw out there. You're not going to be able to replace it.

01:26So, the defense of Detroit got a little bit worse. However,

01:31it's a game of matchups here, right? And I may be crazy but

01:34Jared Goff as he's gotten older in this league has gotten way

01:39better and recognizing the Blitz and dealing with pressure.

01:43In fact, against Dallas six to seven for a buck. 78 when they

01:48tried to collapse the pocket and Blitz him. Nobody Blitz is

01:52more than Minnesota that defense. We're talking about a

01:5652% Blitz rate. There are far too many weapons on the field

02:00for Detroit. If you are going to go all out and try to go get

02:03Jared Goff, good luck. Uh there could be a lot of points in this

02:08game and that's exactly where I would look. No way am I

02:12sweating out in under here because again, Detroit's

02:15defense got a little worse unfortunately last week. You

02:19won the game but boy oh boy at a big big cost but either way

02:24it's an over for me in this game.
