Speaker 1 (00:06):
It is a big week for the Minnesota Vikings and
the NFC North standings because we are one week away
from playing for our ultimate destiny in the NFC. But
in order to do that, they've got to beat the
red hot Green Bay Packers. It's the Minnesota Vikings Green
(00:28):
Bay Packers preview.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
But first before I do that little story time.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yesterday and every day pretty much, I record this podcast,
sometimes at four thirty in the morning, sometimes at five
thirty in the morning. Yesterday I recorded a rut around
five forty five in the morning. And my wife worked yesterday,
which isn't normal, but a holiday schedule this week because
(00:54):
of Christmas, so you know, things look a little differently,
and I'm gonna record. My wife calls me up and
she said, damn, So I run upstairs as Zoe threw up.
I'm like, oh, oh, so it's Aowa's our two year
old daughter. She threw up in her sleep the previous night.
(01:14):
Last night she slept well the previous night she threw up.
So that means I'm in charge of our sick daughter
while my wife goes to work on that day. And
my son wakes up, who's almost eleven months and he
throws up too, So two sick kids. I was sick
(01:34):
on Tuesday. Now I got two sick kids on Thursday.
My wife's got to work this day. And just to
give you a little preview of what happened, I got
thrown up on three separate times.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And it is sad. I mean it is sad.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean it's a little emotional seeing two kids under
two thrown up, lethargic, sad. Somehow, my son was still
like boosting with energy and wanted to wrestle and do
the things that boys do. A dollar laid on the
couch all day, and of course I shed several tears
because it's a sad situation. But I had a Viking
(02:13):
sweatshirt on that got throw up all over. I got.
I put on a white T shirt that got thrown
all over. And then at the end of the day,
I'm like, you know what, I'm not gonna wear a
T shirt anymore because all these things got to go
in the washroom. I'm just gonna go shirtless. A few
moments later, got to throw a ball over my chest
and it was like one of those moments where you
(02:36):
can almost see it coming, but like they're kids, how
can you tell them to lean over a garbage can
or get them to the toilet, you can't really do that.
So they're laying on the couch, playing on the floor.
You don't want to get on the carpet. You don't
want to get it on the couch. So I'm just running.
(02:56):
You could see it building and I jump stole, throw
myself in front of a bullet and I took the hit.
And that's my story for me yesterday. I think they're
feeling better today though, so hopefully they bounce back. They're
still in bed right now, so that's good, all right.
(03:19):
Minnesota Vikings Green Bay Packers preview. Both teams are red
hot right now. Packers Vikings. Vikings are on an eight
game heater. Packers are on a six game heater, and
this is an important matchup for both teams. Both teams
are playing for something because if the Packers went out,
(03:42):
they can potentially be the fifth seed, and if the Vikings, well,
if they beat the Packers, all that means they have
the tiebreaker. And I feel like, you know, next week
it might matter with seating for maybe a different wild
card team for the Packers, but it certainly matter of
the Vikings so this is a big game for the
Green Bay and it's also a big game for Minnesota
(04:06):
because they went out there the number one seed in
the NFC. They got the bye week that everyone wants
that's so coveted, and you got home field advantages throughout
the playoffs, which is a huge advantage. So you look
at this matchup particularly, and it's very interesting because you
think about the different things that go into this matchup,
(04:27):
and psychologically, I think we all think that this is
a battle, this is tough, this is the ultimate test,
and now anybody's ballgame, and going into the matchup, maybe
it is. But you look at the score since twenty
twenty and the teams have split the season series and
(04:50):
only three of the score since twenty twenty. We're looking
at nine matchups right here. Only three of the nine
matchups have resulted in one score game and the previous
matchup thirty one twenty nine. The Vikings are up thirty
one twenty two with what a minute or two left
got the on side kick game was over.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So even that one is little not accurate.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
The score is not reflective of what the outcome really was.
But you look at the first matchup forty three to
thirty four, second matchup twenty two to twenty eight, there's
a one score game, third matchup thirty one, thirty four
to one score game. Then he got thirty seven to ten,
twenty three seven, forty one seventeen, twenty four to ten,
thirty three ten, and they got thirty one to twenty nine,
(05:39):
which happened earlier this season. So this game isn't necessarily
as close as I think we like to think, because
for some reason, one of the teams gets hot, one
of the teams struggles, and it's likely to become a
(05:59):
blow up. And that's what we've seen since twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Something that has been fascinating to follow, and I look
at these every week is the line.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Entering this game.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And to begin the Vikings were favored to beat the
Packers by like a point point and a half something
like that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It's basically a pick them game.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
But now it has shifted towards the Green Bay Packers
being favored, and right now via DraftKings, the Green Bay
Packers are favored by one point. So it's basically still
a pick them game at one point, but it means
a little bit more when the road team is favored
(06:46):
because historically, or at least based on how the odds work,
a home team is always given a little boost because
of the home field advantage, because of the noise, because.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Of that factor.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And right now for the Vikings to be not favored
is I think a bigger thing than we want to
realize based on how the odds actually work. So you
look at the Vikings dot Com preview and they always
do a good job of giving insights from both sides.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Says this.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Both players, Jordan Love and Sam Darnold are on six
game streaks with the one and more passing touchdowns since
November seventeenth. In that timeframe, they're both top three and
passer rating each behind Jared Goff, and they own fifteen
to one and nine to one touchdown interception ratio split.
So Donald's the fifteen to one split and Jordan Loves
(07:41):
the nine to one ratio split. And you take a
look at this. This has been the thing that I
really noticed overall. Jordan Love has been incredibly difficult this
year to get on the ground. Is two point seventy
nine sack percentage, just lowest in the league and a
colossal improvement from twenty twenty three, when he dropped four
(08:02):
point nine to three percent of the time.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You compare that to Donald.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Donald hasn't stayed upright as often, and during a sack
rate of eight point eight nine percent of dropbacks. He's
one of three qbs to be sacked four more times
in six plus games this season. Love has zero such
games on his twenty twenty four ledger.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Now, he didn't see this, but I'd be very curious
to see what.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Percentage of big plays happened, because a part of the
reason why Donald has sacked so much is that Minnesota
Vikings offensively go for the big play.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
They love the home run ball. And that's one of
Sam Donald's strengths.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Throw the ball down the field, get the ball down
the field that Jefferson and Hockinson and Aison and I
would argue, probably based on what we're looking at right now,
one of Jordan Love's strengths is getting rid of the
ball quick and short, quick routes, getting the ball to
his wide receivers and making his wide receivers make plays.
(09:04):
And that's really been I feel like what Green Bay does,
like I feel like even Aaron Rodgers, I mean, he
he had.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Home run ball Towns and he did it all the time.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
But I feel like he even got rid of the
ball quick and got it to Devonte Adams and got
it to Jordan Nelson, and he got it to those
guys and they made a play and they got rid
of a tackler and they walked into the end zone.
I just feel like that's green Bay's formula, and I
feel like it's been that formula for a long time.
I'm worried about this game for the Vikings because the
(09:40):
green Bay Packers are rolling and they have a tendency
to get hot at the right time, and we're seeing
that right now with Jordan Love. We saw it last
year with Jordan Love. And here's green Bay's last five
games thirty four points, thirty points, thirty one point, th points,
(10:01):
and thirty eight points. So their offense is rolling right now.
And the Minnesota Vikings they're also rolling right now, eight
game win streak. But you look at what the Packers
have been doing, and they've been winning. They've been blowing
teams out, and I guess you could argue that the
(10:22):
teams that they.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Blew out aren't good.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
They blew out the Saints thirty four zero, blew at
Seattle thirty to thirteen, but you know, Smith got hurt,
blew out Miami to a STINKX in the cold blow
out San fran They're a disaster this year. Beach Chicago
by a one because of a block field goal earlier
this year, and they lost to the Lions thirty four
to thirty one. I know earlier I said that a
(10:45):
six game win streak, but it's not true. They've won
five of their last six though, so I guess their
blowouts have happened against terrible teams.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Record wise, But the green Bay Packers, I think this.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Is a tougher game than the Detroit Lions game, just
because of the way they're playing. The Lions, injuries, any factor,
all those things together and that's what it looks like.
Justin Jefferson had some comments to make about this game.
He was interviewed by a scrum of reporters and here's
(11:23):
what he had to say.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Uh, just on just the competition in our division. You know,
it's it's definitely high, you know, just especially with us
and we're still competing for the number one spot. Detroit
is still the dominant team. Green Bay is also still
a dominant team. As well as us. So, uh, it's
(11:46):
definitely this year has definitely been crazy, you know, just
to see, uh, to see the talent that we have
in our going outside of the division. But these these
last games will definitely be for us, just going against
green Bay. Everybody knows them and they hate us. The
fans know just the whole rod Free and general.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It is something juice.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So I definitely went this pretty.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So Jefferson says, everybody knows that we hate green Bay
and that the Packers they hate us as well, and
it feels like it has the ingredients to be a
close game based on how teams are playing, based on history,
the Green Bay Packers win this game because they've split
the season series since twenty twenty. Last year, Vikings won
(12:41):
at green Bay and the green Bay Packers won at Minnesota.
This year, Vikings went at green Bay and this outcome
has yet to be determined. One thing to pay attention
to is that it appears that Justin Jefferson's son Jaira
(13:05):
Alexander of the Green Bay Packers will not be playing
this week.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
He was asked.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Packers head coach Matt Lafleur was asked and if he
thinks Jared Alexander has a better shot at playing this week,
and he mentioned I'd say probably not, so that's a
fact they're going into this game and he's missed the
last few. But I think he's one of those players
that struggles at times versus Justin Jefferson. He likes to
(13:41):
think he's all that in the bag of ships. Jefferson
has made comps about him in the past, talk about
how he tries in his head, he tries to talk trash.
He's clearly got talent and he's done some things for
the Packers that has been very good, and we've seen
him rise to the occasion before, but he seems like
one of those players that rises to the occasion at
the end of the year, which appears to not playing
(14:02):
this game. But then also you know, it doesn't really
do much for the other part of the year.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't really follow the Packers all that closely, but
based on what JayR Alexander has done, I mean, it's
a good thing for the Minnesota Vikings that he's not playing,
because he's.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Still a very good cornerback.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
But how much fear does he really put in Justin
Jefferson I've seen videotapes of one on one coverage of
Jefferson versus Jayar and Jefferson has been schooling him since
this matchup has begun. But as far as prediction time goes,
(14:42):
oh Man Vikings have been on a heater, so of
the Packers, you look at this game.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
And my.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Leniency goes towards the Packers winning this football game.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It just feels to me like they're gonna be better
in this game last year.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I think about the way they closed this season, and
I think about what they're doing right now, and even
though it's against bad opponents, it seems to be the trend.
And even though the Minnesota Vikings are on an eight
game heater as well, I lean towards the Green Bay
Packers winning this football game.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And as far as.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Score goes, again, my first thought, it's gonna be a
one score, close, one field goal game.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But you look historically and even this year.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Vikings had what a twenty two to zero lead, twenty
one zero lead to start the game. It's like, not
all these games are close. So you look at this
game and I'll pick Packers to win it twenty eight
to twenty one, one score game. It falls under the
(16:01):
one score game category, but I'm gonna say Packers win
this game twenty eight. I'll change it twenty eight twenty four.
Vikings lose twenty eight twenty four and their matchup versus
the Lines is not as important but still important because
of the seeding, and now they split again this season
(16:24):
series Vikings, Packers. All right, everyone, thank you for watching.
Thank you for making this podcast for every day. I
hope I don't get thrown upon three times today, so
pray for my kids and my family to feel better.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Thank you for watching.
It is a big week for the Minnesota Vikings and
the NFC North standings because we are one week away
from playing for our ultimate destiny in the NFC. But
in order to do that, they've got to beat the
red hot Green Bay Packers. It's the Minnesota Vikings Green
(00:28):
Bay Packers preview.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
But first before I do that little story time.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yesterday and every day pretty much, I record this podcast,
sometimes at four thirty in the morning, sometimes at five
thirty in the morning. Yesterday I recorded a rut around
five forty five in the morning. And my wife worked yesterday,
which isn't normal, but a holiday schedule this week because
(00:54):
of Christmas, so you know, things look a little differently,
and I'm gonna record. My wife calls me up and
she said, damn, So I run upstairs as Zoe threw up.
I'm like, oh, oh, so it's Aowa's our two year

Last night she slept well the previous night she threw up.
So that means I'm in charge of our sick daughter

and it was like one of those moments where you
(02:36):

can you tell them to lean over a garbage can
or get them to the toilet, you can't really do that.
So they're laying on the couch, playing on the floor.
You don't want to get on the carpet. You don't
want to get it on the couch. So I'm just running.
(02:56):
You could see it building and I jump stole, throw
myself in front of a bullet and I took the hit.

and he mentioned I'd say probably not, so that's a
fact they're going into this game and he's missed the
last few. But I think he's one of those players
that struggles at times versus Justin Jefferson. He likes to
(13:41):
think he's all that in the bag of ships. Jefferson
has made comps about him in the past, talk about
how he tries in his head, he tries to talk trash.
He's clearly got talent and he's done some things for
the Packers that has been very good, and we've seen
him rise to the occasion before, but he seems like
one of those players that rises to the occasion at
the end of the year, which appears to not playing
(14:02):
this game. But then also you know, it doesn't really
do much for the other part of the year.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't really follow the Packers all that closely, but
based on what JayR Alexander has done, I mean, it's
a good thing for the Minnesota Vikings that he's not playing,
because he's.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Still a very good cornerback.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
But how much fear does he really put in Justin
Jefferson I've seen videotapes of one on one coverage of
Jefferson versus Jayar and Jefferson has been schooling him since
this matchup has begun. But as far as prediction time goes,
(14:42):
oh Man Vikings have been on a heater, so of
the Packers, you look at this game.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
And my.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Leniency goes towards the Packers winning this football game.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It just feels to me like they're gonna be better
in this game last year.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I think about the way they closed this season, and
I think about what they're doing right now, and even
though it's against bad opponents, it seems to be the trend.
And even though the Minnesota Vikings are on an eight
game heater as well, I lean towards the Green Bay
Packers winning this football game.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And as far as.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Score goes, again, my first thought, it's gonna be a
one score, close, one field goal game.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But you look historically and even this year.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Vikings had what a twenty two to zero lead, twenty
one zero lead to start the game. It's like, not
all these games are close. So you look at this
game and I'll pick Packers to win it twenty eight
to twenty one, one score game. It falls under the
(16:01):
one score game category, but I'm gonna say Packers win
this game twenty eight. I'll change it twenty eight twenty four.
Vikings lose twenty eight twenty four and their matchup versus
the Lines is not as important but still important because
of the seeding, and now they split again this season
(16:24):
series Vikings, Packers. All right, everyone, thank you for watching.
Thank you for making this podcast for every day. I
hope I don't get thrown upon three times today, so
pray for my kids and my family to feel better.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Thank you for watching.
