The Vikings will beat and cover against the Colts because their offensive line is healthy

I love the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Ooh. Minus four and a half. I think it's perfect spot for the Vikings against the Colts. The offensive line is healthier this week for the Vikings... I am confident that they'll be able to beat the Colts.

Prediction Football Mild

The Vikings won 39-36 in overtime after trailing 33-0. While they won, they did not cover the 4.5 point spread.

Brock Purdy walked into the best situation a low-drafted quarterback could ever have

I don't think there's a better situation that a Mr irrelevant low drafted quarterback could ever walk into than not only Kyle Shanahan, but this specific 49ers team that just has so much talent everywhere. Like their defense is great. Their running game is great. He's not really getting hit that much.

Opinion Football Mild

Purdy's continued success and the 49ers' dominant system support the idea that the environment was perfectly constructed for a QB of his profile.

The Seahawks are running out of gas because they lack top-end talent

It feels like they're just running outta gas in terms of talent. Their defense getting gashed on the, like last week the Panthers had 240 yards tonight. The Niners ran for five yards of carry. It just, it feels like it's getting to the end here where, where like the fact they don't have a ton of top end talent is hurting them.

Opinion Football Mild

The Seahawks did struggle late in the 2022 season, losing 5 of their last 8, but they actually managed to sneak into the playoffs at 9-8.

You cannot stop the run if you wear the Seahawks' full lime green color rush jerseys

I hope you're saying what I'm gonna think thinking, but you cannot stop the run if you're wearing those jerseys... You gotta commit to it. It's Thursday night football baby. And even if you do commit to it, I still think that you're gonna get gashed on the ground. Yeah. If you're wearing those jerseys... those are jerseys that'll just get run on.

Opinion Football Medium

The 49ers ran for 170 yards (5.0 avg) against the Seahawks in those jerseys this game. Historically, uniform-based performance is subjective but the literal claim that they'd get run on was true that night.
