High of 66 and sunny. Winds around 9 mph. A little cooler than that at kickoff. Perfect.

Yup, perfect football weather....

Vikings are 2.5 favorites; stunning line.

Surprised we're favored or surprised we're not favored by more?

lots of money going on the Vikings earlier this week,  the line started as 2 point dogs IIRC and has shifted that much in the last week.

That and McCaffery being hurt.  Not sure they have much for offense without him.

Yeah, coach says 50/50, but no way he goes from doubtful last week to playing this week. That's just not the way hamstrings work. And Vegas probably knows that. 

Without CMC slowing down the pass rush with screens and swing passes, Vikings should be able to pressure Darnold quite a bit.

Definitely a weird line. I've been toying with it in my head and feel more inclined to bet Vikes with CMC out. Just so hard to judge what Vikes team will show up on the road though as we have played three straight home games

and he was limited on Wed and then DNP on Thursday.  So he tested it and didn't respond well.  And yeah, it is a hammy on a speed guy.

Jefferson, Theilen and Cook all not on the injury report today.  

Barr not listed either.  So other than Pierce and ellefson, we have a full team.  Even WR Imir.

I didn't see Jefferson or Thielen get hurt on Sunday so I was perplexed by seeing them on the report. I almost wonder if NFL teams are going to be like the NBA where they are giving guys rest days but need to disclose that as an "injury" since there is one more game this year without another bye. I would certainly do that

Right, but I thought there was a limit on how many times you can do that? I could be wrong
