First time users can receive a 100% instant deposit match up to $100 with promo code LOCK that's prizepicks.com promo code locked on so the key stories going into this game i guess for the vikings um the biggest thing that we're talking about right now is the job security i guess of the defensive coordinator ed donatel the vikings defense has been a horror show. Last in the league, they've given up 400 yards in five straight weeks,

Starting point is 00:01:30 including games against Mike White's Jets and Mac Jones's Patriots, like ailing offenses. So don't come at me and say the Colts offense is bad because we gave up 400 yards to those two. But your offense is having problems too. I guess Jonathan Taylor's been a little quieter than usual. What's going on with Matt Ryan? So let me, I guess, start on your end of things how much confidence do you have in the Colts offense against what is at least arguably if not inarguably the worst defense in the league

Starting point is 00:01:56 yeah so the Colts yeah the Colts offense hasn't done much to garner confidence whatsoever like in good matchups where you think they can take advantage, it just doesn't happen. It tends to come down to the offensive line and their lack of protection. And even when Matt Ryan does have pretty good protection, he's become this turnover prone, just kind of bumbling guy who doesn't, he doesn't seem like a 15-year vet anymore. But with that being said, they are coming off their bye week. They had an insane, like November,

Starting point is 00:02:32 so much turnover, fired offensive coordinator, fired Frank Reich. You know, they, they promoted a play caller who'd never done it before in parks for Asia. Now that they've had their bye week i think the expectation is they've had some time to decompress and catch up and maybe be able to formulate a plan of what to do moving forward because so far it seems like everything's been flying by the seat of their pants uh the offense has been super predictable and bland i mean they have jonathan taylor but the other team knows that, you know, just, it shouldn't just be run, run, pass every time. It's just been really vanilla. And I think this is a good opportunity for a get right game for the offense. Like you said, you know, they're, they're dead last and pass defense, overall defense. I just think they have more weapons

Starting point is 00:03:22 and are capable of doing more than what they've shown at times. And there, there's a few things I'm really looking for in this matchup. And, and it's really offensively is everything I'm looking for. I have confidence in their defense overall, but it's the offensive side of the ball. It has all the question marks.

Starting point is 00:03:42 It feels like that's the side of the ball that is going to get most of the attention because both the Vikings defense and Colts offense are the ones that are in the worst way kind of getting all the spotlight. Meanwhile, the Vikings offense with Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson in particular has been like humming. So that is an interesting side of the ball. We'll get to that when we talk more about matchups later. Tell me about, I guess, the nature of the Colts run game. I always thought of the Colts, and I know the last couple years the offensive line has sort of deteriorated, but I think of Quinton Nelson and Jonathan Taylor

Starting point is 00:04:16 and all of those guys. Is it a health issue, or is it just something with the offense as the staff has shaken up and stuff like that? I obviously want to hear your thoughts about Jeff Saturday right now, who's at least won one game. Yeah, I guess. How do the Colts want to attack a team if they can have their their sort of pick of the litter? Yeah, so they, they would, they would go powered through Jonathan Taylor. If, if they,

Starting point is 00:04:49 if every game script went to their plan, it would be Jonathan Taylor running the show the whole time with Matt Ryan, just picking what the defense gave him. And they've been able to do that a couple of times that Raiders win and Jeff Saturday's debut was the most recent example of it um but yeah it has been a little bit of health and regression just from some of these offensive line pillars uh Quentin Nelson has had some like back issues dating back a year or two and he's still playing at like a pro bowl level but you no longer really see him playing at the Hall of Fame level that we got used to seeing him. So it's natural to say he's regressed, but he's still better than most guards. So he's

Starting point is 00:05:31 still been their best offensive lineman. Ryan Kelly just does not look like the same guy. He's had some injury issues as well throughout his career. These guys just in general, the whole line, and of course they've had to fill in left tackle and right guard they did a pretty bad job planning for that this off season and they've had a ton of turnover there the line just doesn't get a lot of push and Jonathan Taylor himself had issues he had an ankle that bothered him for weeks. But even with that, even when he was healthy at times, it didn't look like he trusted how to run behind that line. You know, like how holes opened and how the run scheme opened things up last year, he was very comfortable with. Obviously, he led the league in rushing by

Starting point is 00:06:20 like 500 yards. But all those things just aren't there this year. And it's really weird because for the most part, it's the same offensive lineman outside of two of them. But even Matt Pryor, who has started most of the games this year in different spots, he was the sixth offensive lineman last year. They saw him a lot. Same offensive line coach and Chris Strasser. It's just, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's going on with all these guys who have been here and have had success just suddenly just not getting the job done. So it's, it's really, it's really curious. I would imagine that Taylor will probably look pretty good coming off this. He's looked better lately,

Starting point is 00:07:03 these last two or three weeks before the bye week, getting some of that explosiveness back. You used to see huge plays by him all throughout last year, and we're starting to kind of see some of those chunk runs again. So hopefully for their sake, he and the run game and the blocking are heating back up. But there's just been so many issues this year with that whole group yeah so as as this is a saturday game we have a little bit more uh injury info and there's actually a couple of headlines that are probably worth telling the colts fans too off of the injury report um the vikings have like a flu going through like their defense had a flu virus like decimate them

Starting point is 00:07:41 and uh we've had a a or i i don't actually don't know if it's the flu it's just illness i keep calling it the flu because that's just what like my brain defaults to but it's some illness um but the big one is watch the vikings injury report on thursday and by the time people listen to this they might already see it because that's the end of the injury report watch to see if daniel hunter practices so he missed all of 2020 with a neck problem um with a herniated disc in his neck and the certain like neck surgery ended his season that the jj watt thing he's got a neck thing and he was limited on wednesday so we're all holding our breath a little bit to say okay is that a different injury is it aggravating the same thing if he is a d DNP on Friday, I would probably be really comfortable saying he's not going to play. And that's going to be a big deal on the defensive side of the ball as it has been for the last two years as

Starting point is 00:08:35 Daniel Hunter has been out. So that's something to watch. But the Vikings are also getting some guys back. Christian Derrissaw has been out with concussion issues for like a month. It's been really scary, honestly, but he has passed the protocol and he is now slowly easing his way back in. They seem pretty much like they're expecting him to go. They're expecting Harrison Smith to go who missed the Detroit game with an illness. So they're getting on the whole a little bit healthier. But that Daniel Hunter situation is something in terms of storylines. It's something to uh to watch look we have some other matchups i want to ask you about i want to ask you about what the colts are do about like star receivers of course we got justin jefferson i want to see

Starting point is 00:09:15 what the strategy might be there and then of course we want we got to predict this thing we've got bet online odds and all of that stuff so uh that's coming up.

Starting point is 00:10:40 from the wide world of all sports from World Cup to the NFL to tennis if it's going on anything basketball hockey all that stuff check that out wherever you find your favorite shows jake i'll i'll ask you the justin jefferson question i teased in just a minute but first you hit me with one all right what is a match-up that you uh are looking forward to or want to know more about what what is the the match-up that is gripping you for this one? Yeah, so I couldn't help but really look at the struggles that some of the offensive linemen have had, especially on the

Starting point is 00:11:11 interior. I know Garrett Bradbury could be making his way back. He's kind of had limited participation. Yeah, Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner. That is a high end defensive tackle duo. DeForest Buckner made one of our favorite low lights a couple years ago uh against drew samia who i don't believe is on the team right now check me on that though um yeah that's the safety deforest buckner has has made some bad memories for us and i he had a i think he had a pretty big hand in beating us the last time we were in the playoffs when he was back in san francisco that was the last one of the last games he played for the 49ers before the trade so yeah big thorn in the side there um it looks like it's a young group on the interior i don't what's what's the gauge on whether bradbury plays

Starting point is 00:12:02 does it seem optimistic yeah i'm pretty optimistic that he would play. He was apparently very close with an ankle injury to playing last week, but they opted for caution. The thing is, the Vikings have such a stranglehold on their division and the playoffs right now. If they can win one more game throughout the rest of the season, they will win the NFC North. And even if they lose out, the Lions would have to win out

Starting point is 00:12:24 to take the NFC North. And even if they lose out, the Lions would have to win out to take the NFC North. So they're pretty comfortable there. And I think like one more win and then they're basically they can't do worse than the third seed. So they feel pretty good about that and they feel good being cautious.

Starting point is 00:12:35 And let's go into the playoffs healthy rather than going into playoffs injured. But with, you know, a 10% chance at one place up the rankings, you know. So they played it really cautious last week. They might say, ah, we're just going to keep playing it cautious, in which case it would be Austin Schloteman,

Starting point is 00:12:51 not Chris Reed, who I know your co-host Zach is obsessed with. He has, he lost the battle. He lost a backup center battle to Austin Schloteman, but he is, he's been on the 53 as like a reserve kind of swing guy. And we just haven't had gotten injured enough to need him. But that's why he's here. I would guess that he plays. However, Bradbury's whole thing is that he struggles with like bigger, more powerful defensive defensive tackles.

Starting point is 00:13:17 And I think if you're Stewart or if you're Buckner, that quickness has given him issues as, as well. Um, if you can just bull rush right into him, that has been a struggle, but they've been able to give him a little more help. I would say, watch if Dara saw plays, because if Dara saw plays,

Starting point is 00:13:34 they will leave, they'll split him out on the moon and they'll leave him on an Island and they'll slide protections away from him all day long. And then those defensive tackles can just get caught in like a wash of bodies. And it'll be way, way harder to get that one-on-one on Bradbury that you would be looking for. Although last time we played the Colts, the Colts were looking for one-on-ones with Drew Samia.

Starting point is 00:13:51 In this case, it would be Ed Ingram, who's a rookie who has been struggling. He's been, I mean, he's been a rookie. And I think that's probably a better idea if you're the Colts to go after him. You know, DeForest Buckner on Ed Ingram For me, if that can become a one-on-one that terrifies me, I would hate that. Um, because that quickness, I mean, there's been, there have been some ugly low lights rookie guard. It happens, right. But that's to be where we're at. We've seen plenty of that, that this year for sure. Oh, I'm sure on the offensive line, which is another interesting thing on on our

Starting point is 00:14:25 end of things um we also have harrison phillips has is having some back issues and that i'm way less optimistic about him playing no idea what to think about daniel hunter but we might have our front four which the vikings don't blitz a lot at all they rush for and do their you know games and stunts and stuff and it sucks because they can't cover long enough for that stuff to develop. But when there's less when they've got to rely on their backups even more, that could become an even greater issue. So this might be the I've been telling every opponent in these crossovers, this is your get right game for the offense. Like congratulations, you get to have a bounce back day, because it's just such a disaster on the defensive side of the ball. But I want to stick with the Vikings offense. Justin Jefferson is,

Starting point is 00:15:09 is leading the league in receiving right now. He is on pace to challenge franchise records. He's already broken some franchise records this year. He's doing some absolutely incredible and amazing stuff. When there is a guy like that, that is just so larger than life and the Vikings have Adam Thielen and KJ Osborne,

Starting point is 00:15:28 definitely no slouch of, of, you know, other guys in the room. What is the Colts answer to that? Well, I've got good news for you because two of the Colts top four corners have not practiced yet this week. Kenny Moore, who is one of the better slot defenders in

Starting point is 00:15:46 the league i don't think he's gonna play uh he missed i think he shut down jefferson in the first meeting although jefferson was it was a second game and he wasn't even like technically a starter yet yeah and kenny's not playing like he used to in this new scheme i mean he's still pretty good but it doesn't look like he'll be out there regardless. He's got kind of a lower leg thing. Didn't play two weeks ago before the bye. Hasn't practiced yet, so it doesn't look good. The Colts have had this illness thing just wreaking havoc last three, four weeks as well. Brandon Faison has not practiced yet this week either with an illness. So really just leave Stephon Gilmore and Isaiah Rogers. Behind them, it's undrafted rookie Dallas Flowers and Tony Brown, who has been a reserve throughout his career, mostly a special teamer. So on instances where Justin Jefferson is not

Starting point is 00:16:38 against Stephon Gilmore, I expect him to just eat. Even against Gilmore, he's going to have his wins, I'm sure. He's an elite player, arguably the best receiver in the league, so he can beat anybody. Um, I wouldn't be surprised to see him pop off for 200, you know, he's just that type of player. Um, but yeah, I, there's, there's really going to be no good way for the Colts to defend this. They could bracket him, bring some extra safety help. They've got kind of a wealth of safeties at the moment. Julian Blackman, Rodney McLeod, Rodney Thomas. Nick Cross hasn't really played since early in the season, but they've got some bodies at safety that they could roll out and maybe make some coverages exotic.

Starting point is 00:17:23 Gus Bradley's had a couple weeks now to prepare for this passing attack. So as confident as I am overall in the Colts' defense, their body work on the season, I don't love this matchup this week, especially if Yannick Ngakwe isn't getting home. Oh, another old friend. Right, yeah, you guys are very familiar. If Christian Derrissaw is back, that's just probably going to wipe Ngakwe off. isn't getting home oh another christian right yeah you guys are very familiar if christian derisal is back that's gonna prop this is probably gonna wipe in gawk way off uh quitty pay is is

Starting point is 00:17:51 really their more consistent defensive end so that makes me so happy i loved him so much pre-draft and people made fun of me for it yeah he's had some injury issues but he's been their most consistent best defensive end when he's on the field so he's developing nicely um he's been their most consistent best defensive end when he's on the field so he's developing nicely um he's been able to get some pressure be pretty disruptive but i'm i'm worried about that vikings passing attack this week for sure yeah it's funny because these are not two teams that are known for you know boat racing 40 yard point, but it feels like this is one where points could get scored. Which kind of brings me to, we should start talking about our predictions and the odds.

Starting point is 00:18:33 We'll take those from BetOnline in just one second, and we'll talk about how we feel about it.

Starting point is 00:19:03 We're always the fastest and easiest way to get your betting fix. Head to the website today or use your mobile device to learn more. BetOnline, where the game starts. And on a little more serious note, you know, we all kind of have to be aware of this at all times. You're hanging out with some friends and putting back a few drinks. A few becomes a few too many. As the evening comes to an end and people start to head out, you think you're calling for a ride, but nah, you live nearby. Don't worry about it, right? What are the odds that you'll get pulled over anyways? And if so, what's the worst that could happen? Your insurance goes up, you lose your license, you lose your job, you total your car, you kill someone. There's never a good option with any

Starting point is 00:19:46 of these things. Everyone knows about the risks of driving drunk and the results are tragic and often deadly. However, that still doesn't stop everyone from getting behind the wheel while under the influence. That's why police officers are out there right now looking for impaired drivers like they should be to save lives. So if you think you're okay to drive after a few drinks, think again, play it safe and plan ahead to get a ride. It only takes one mistake to change your life or someone else's forever. Drive sober or get pulled over. All right, Luke. So I don't know about you,

Starting point is 00:20:22 but I really don't know what to think about this game in finality. I could see it going either way. The Colts played the Cowboys strong through three quarters last week. That's one way to describe that game. Yeah. You can make an argument they should have won. And then the fourth quarter happened and then 33 unanswered points came with it uh you guys know all all about that was it 40 to 3 40 to 3 and you guys experienced that in a quarter yes so we've both been victimized by the cowboys in recent weeks so i really don't know what what are you thinking for a final score on this one well i like to look at the line to kind of give me a sort of a baseline and see if i want to go over under it so the the line at bet online is minus four right now

Starting point is 00:21:11 favoring the vikings um over under is 48 and a half so think of that as something like a 27 23 kind of game that would be uh the a push and the over by like one or two points so i think more scoring can happen than that um and i do like the vikings to cover here mostly because i just don't believe in what matt ryan can do on offense and i know the vikings have kind of let other quarterbacks do that but i think what's wrong with matt ryan right now like i've watched enough colts games this i haven't watched everyone but i've watched enough Kings have kind of let other quarterbacks do that. But I think what's wrong with Matt Ryan right now, like I've watched enough Colts games this year. I haven't watched everyone, but I've watched enough Colts games this year to see how the ball comes out of his arm. And it's just floating. It's just not there. And I think that's one of the things that can really prevent an offense

Starting point is 00:22:02 from being able to victimize this defense the way that somebody like mac jones who's got a fine arm but could make throws right and he was able to find a bunch of production mike white's arm is no world beater but it was gonna matt ryan's arm looks like it's it's time for him to hang it up you know and i think like we'd all we'd all be shocked if he didn't retire right like that's the way he's playing and i just don't trust it um and i don't trust the colts on the whole i don't i certainly don't trust the jeff saturday situation and this has been i mean i've been crowing about this on locked on nfl for for weeks this is not just me saying i love my team and i think they're gonna win i've i've been lambasting the colts for the way that they've approached this season because this was a

Starting point is 00:22:44 winnable nfc or afc south uh and to just kind of pack it in the way that they did going with Ellinger and all that stuff it's I have I have not liked the way the Colt I think Colts fans deserve better let me put it that way um so I'm going to take the Vikings to cover I'm going to take the over though because I do still think there can be enough scoring on both sides of the ball to cover that 27 23 kind of vibe um I will go with the vikings can only win one score games if it's a two score game the vikings can't win it so it'll be one score game um and i will go with 30 to 26 call it a push there we go 30 to 24 how about that now they can cover can cover. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So the Colts don't have any business winning this game and they really shouldn't. Like I have more

Starting point is 00:23:32 confidence in the Vikings, but I just have had this feeling all week that this is the type of game the Colts win, especially coming off their bi-week and they've had so many distractions in the last month or two that maybe they've had a chance to breathe and can approach this game. I just think there are certain areas that should make a real difference, especially that interior defensive line. I'd really like to see them come through and dictate a game. Once again, I have the Colts actually winning 23 to 20.

Starting point is 00:24:07 I don't feel good about it, but it just feels, you gotta do it. It would, it would, it's, it always feels so weird when we do this and we don't pick our own teams, you know, you gotta do it. Yeah. Well, I've learned not to pick for the Colts cause they just can't, they can't deliver. And honestly, they shouldn't win any more games because they need to secure a top five pick regardless. But no, this just feels like something they win. But on the flip side of it, like I could see the Vikings winning like 34 to 17. And like I said, Justin Jefferson goes for 200 and the Colts just can't keep up. Like I could see that happening as well. You just don't really ever know what you're going to get with that team and with the vikings the thing about this is and for a more salient prediction because i think score predictions are kind of boring um this is a game where i think the vikings can get out to a

Starting point is 00:24:55 lead if they can find a way to move the ball in that defense especially with the injuries in secondary um if they can come out hot and get out to a lead, you could be sitting there at 14, nothing in the second quarter, right? Just like go down, score, go down, score. And I want Colts fans to understand.

Starting point is 00:25:11 Don't turn that game off. I know you don't feel like your offense is going to be able to make it back. Trust me. Trust me. It's been this way for two and a half years with the Vikings. Don't turn that game off. No, you can be down 10 points with three minutes to go. And the Vikings don't turn that game off no you can be

Starting point is 00:25:25 down 10 points with three minutes to go and the Vikings will find a way to make that interesting and that's the way that they are which is why like in terms of the qualities of these teams I mean the Vikings they've got the better quarterback they've got better weapons on on skill players like they are better in so many places in this game. But that has been true before and it has not mattered because they just can't put a consistent 60 minutes together. In particular, they've been a horror show in third quarters, like teams are going into making halftime adjustments. And I just don't think this new staff is quite pulled together enough to be able to adapt to that.

Starting point is 00:26:06 But I guess if I'm going to call that a problem, like you guys probably have that problem worse with Jeff Saturday. And I guess I got to act like how's the staff doing with all that? I mean, you're like, how does that work? It's almost a skeleton crew at this point. Cause just the,

Starting point is 00:26:23 the order of the order of events so the offensive coordinator gets fired first which scape scapegoat is the biggest word you can attach to that because he wasn't even the play put me on mute for a second yeah so offensive coordinator goes first uh then frank wright goes he was your play caller. So then who do you have calling plays? They go to their assistant quarterbacks coach, Parks Frazier, who had never called plays before.

Starting point is 00:26:59 And then, you know, they've just got guys with a lot of irons in the fire. They just lost their tight ends coach just left to go to Stanford. So now they've got guys even spread even more thin on the offensive side of the ball doing things so far so Jeff Saturday obviously did not have any head coaching experience at a high level not college or pro coming into this whole thing right and so Jim Mercer of course was like I like that about him he's not afraid to do he's not he's not j. He's not afraid to do. He's not jaded. He's not afraid this or that.

Starting point is 00:27:37 Well, there's been some glaring issues that have come up where you could tell, you know, some game management stuff, some, you know, clock management. There's been times where normally you'd get just kind of a generic coach speak answer from someone else like Frank Reich or something. But Saturday is just plainly, you know, given you almost a naive answer. So there's certain things that are there where maybe he's in over his head at the moment. But I mean, he's obviously learning on the go. But man, it's it has to be all hands on deck right now because they just don't have a full, they literally don't have a full coaching staff right now. Yeah. Man. And so one thing with the Vikings, they're like an emphasis that they've had.

Starting point is 00:28:20 Kevin O'Connell has talked about this a lot is they call it like situational masters where they actually spend a lot of their time in team meetings and stuff drilling. What do you do when there's a minute 40 and there's two timeouts and you're the running back do you go out of bounds or not and they like really really really want to um drill that in and have everybody absolutely be you know i think about like the mark ingram play on monday night football a couple weeks ago where he goes out of bounds and he shouldn't have been all that. Like, that's the kind of thing Kevin O'Connell has drilled in. And then watching how a Colts game ended a reset. I forget which one. But there was one where there was like a huge clock management issue.

Starting point is 00:28:54 And I think about that contrast here. So, look, the Vikings are capable of losing to anybody in any way. Please do not mistake this for confidence but the way that they have won games these one score games if this is a one score situation and it comes down to did the coach make the right fourth down decision or did he do the right thing with the clock management i feel like the the arrow tilts in that very high leverage area, really far toward the Vikings. Um, just because of the,

Starting point is 00:29:28 the emphasis that they have had. And then on the other hand, you know, the Jeff Saturday problem, this is like the one team that you can expect the least from in that way. And I'm like, I don't want to talk too much trash on the Colts. I'll save it for locked on NFL.
