Nick discusses the NFC North showdown between Detroit and Minnestoa
Transcript
00:00Yes, the Minnesota Vikings are a playoff team.
00:03But they're not as good as the Detroit Lions.
00:06And when I look at the matchup that I think will decide this game,
00:09they'll ultimately decide the Lions and the Vikings.
00:11This is like deep blue versus Bobby Fischer level chess matchup
00:15or Garry Kasparov or whomever you want to throw out there.
00:18The chess match between Brian Flores, Vikings defensive coordinator,
00:22and Ben Johnson, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator.
00:25Big time edge for me to Ben Johnson.
00:30Per Brett Coleman, who has the popular YouTube channel, The Film Room.
00:33We've had Brett on the show before.
00:34Brett does a fantastic job.
00:36Per Brett Coleman on Twitter.
00:37I took this from one of his tweets.
00:39Jared Goff, in his last two meetings against Brian Flores,
00:43obviously Flores is the defensive coordinator in Minnesota.
00:45Goff on 77 dropbacks has been blitzed 57 times.
00:51This tracks, right?
00:52Given Brian Flores and like what he likes to do as Vikings DC.
00:56Adjusted completion percentage for Jared Goff on those 57 dropbacks
01:00where he's blitzed out of 77, 84%.
01:05Feel like Seth Green and can't hardly wait.
01:0784%, 510 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions.
01:13Simply put, Jared Goff and Ben Johnson own the Minnesota Vikings
01:19and that blitz package on defense from Brian Flores.
01:22Also, Jamison Williams is way more of a weapon now to beat the blitz
01:26than he has been in the past.
01:27Like I think he's going to have a huge game.
01:28I like spoiler alert.
01:29We'll have some J-Mo, Way-Mo overs this weekend for the Lions
01:33against the Minnesota Vikings.
01:34Now, maybe you're out there thinking, and I wouldn't begrudge you for this.
01:37You know, Aiden Hutchinson's not playing.
01:39Maybe you think the Vikings can score a ton of points on the Lions defense.
01:42It's possible.
01:42It could happen.
01:43My advice, if you think that, bet the over.
01:46Because I think the Lions are scoring in this game.
01:49For me, I'm going to take the team that I think is better
01:52and plus money, give me the Detroit Lions on the money line.
