Got a line flip in this one here. The commanders and Vikings ESPN just reported Jay and Daniel's gonna start. So now, uh, the commanders have gone from slight dogs to slight favorites, and this one will probably go a little bit higher, I would guess before kickoff. Uh, so Washington right now as it stands has gone from a point.5 dog to a point.5 favorite, I guess. I don't think it hits 3, but it'll hit 2, 2.5. Minnesota's been the worst offense in football over the last few weeks, Adam. The total is 42.5. I, I think Washington just wants to get Daniels some games in before the season ends. I don't know what Minnesota's gonna do here. They can't score. I don't know that even Washington will score here too. Total 42.5 in this one. McCarthy's got to have a better game than he had last game, and he's got to be better than Brosburg cause nobody could be worse. Yeah, I mean, he was intercepted 4 times by that Seattle defense. Now it's a very good defense, obviously, and, and this is, this commander's defense is not remotely on the level of some of the defenses that the Vikings have been facing over its last few games. And so that in mind, yeah, we should see some scoring out of Minnesota. But you mentioned the line flip, it flips for me. It's, it really is as simple as Jayden Daniels even coming off the injury, you know, if, if we were sitting here talking about, uh, Marcus Mariota, then I would tell you that I believe that Minnesota is going to win this game. But instead, with this change, because, you know, Marcus is awful, awful against blitzing defenses and You know, you know, teams that just so effectively rushed past uh the passer and and he is uh historically more turnover prone, lower completion percentage, all of these things, and Brian Flores's defenses, as we know, maybe it's more than anybody. Taking him out of it and relying on Jayden Daniels, who does have more of an element of mobility. I like Washington to win this game. I, I would probably just do the money line. I'm not going to get involved with points. I'd I'd rather, you know, pay up for the juice there. And uh just take it to please just win and don't worry about a certain number cause maybe you do get a Backdoor cover or a late field goal to win it or whatever it is, but JJ McCarthy, to your point, he's got to be better in Brosm out there. It, it really wouldn't take much. You would be better in Brosmore, I would be better in Brosm in terms of, you know, the actual statistical performance out there on the field, it feels like. And so, yeah, we'll see what winds up happening obviously, but I, I think, you know, between McDaniels and the soft pass defense on the other side and the fact that obviously While Washington doesn't run the football particularly well, it's a very poor run defense, the commanders should be able to score points, whereas there aren't a lot of strengths in this one on the Viking side. Finally, Raiders and uh Broncos, even when the Raiders are bad, Adam, they're a sneaky cover every once in a while. That has not been the case this season. They're getting absolutely pummeled. Broncos are 7.5 point favorites in Vegas total 40.5. I, I thought maybe last week was that sneaky Raiders cover, but I'm over it now. I mean, it's either Denver or nothing for me. I, I can't take the Raiders. Yeah, and it's funny for me it's either the Raiders or nothing simply because the Broncos of their 10 wins, have been by one score, including a 10-7 win against these Raiders only a few weeks ago. I, I just, the defense is incredible. The Raiders are gonna have trouble scoring points, but the offense is so remarkably inconsistent for Denver, it's hard to invest.
