00:00Cincinnati versus Minnesota, well, that's what you're getting this Sunday at 1 o'clock.

00:04The line actually opened up as a minus one and a half point favorite here for Minnesota.

00:08People buying in.

00:09Joe and Erie.

00:11Well, Carson Wentz threw up to a minus three in the sports betting landscape here in the

00:14total, which crashed down from 47 and a half to 41 and a half.

00:19I'm telling you right now, Jake Browning's been around the block a little bit in the

00:22NFL.

00:23He's got weapons at wideout.

00:24He's going to throw touchdowns.

00:26He's going to throw interceptions.

00:27I just don't know what I'm getting out of Carson Wentz.

00:30I trust Jake Browning way more than I do Carson Wentz in this game.

00:34Am I wrong?

00:34Am I missing something?

00:37I know you're not wrong here, but this game is going to be decided by the defenses, which

00:44defense here can force the other backup quarterback into some issues here.

00:49Both of these backup quarterbacks have some pretty good weapons to work with, Donnie, except

00:54the Aaron Jones injury now for Minnesota is concerning.

00:58Now they're running game.

01:00Not exactly as potent as it was if he didn't pull the hamstring.

01:05But, you know, Chase Brown and Higgins and you got so much on the other side there where,

01:13listen, they're going to want to step up with Joe Burrow knowing what happened to him last

01:17week.

01:17They're going to want to step up and get this done.

01:20I just don't know that we're getting over 41 and a half points, Donnie.

01:23It feels like that might be a struggle in this game in Minnesota.
