Because of the injury, and I think a lot of people announced J.J.

McCarthy as a bust way too early.

I mean, he played that one game where he had the great second half against Chicago.

Then his wife or his girlfriend, whatever, has a baby before the next game, and he doesn't look good in that one.

That's understandable from the human side of things.

And then it's Carson Wentz and all the rest of it, and the Vikings are hard to figure out here.

I'm inclined to ride with KOC even what is veering into a lost season, except for another QB whisperer, and that's a short list, is Kyle Shanahan.

And he has his exception that proves the rule named Trey Lance.

Who knows at this point if J.J.

McCarthy is going to be that for KOC.

I'm going to take the Lions here to win by double digits.

At home against the Vikes, they understand that they are in a heavyweight division, and they have to keep up with the Green Bay Packers, who are playing very well themselves.

At No.

4 on the countdown, instead of one game, I love these two massive numbers, and I want to see what you guys think about these.

Rams are laying 14 at home to Tyler Shuck and the Saints, and the Green Bay Packers a meager 13.5 against the Carolina Panthers.

Mike Fuentes, would you bet either favorite here?

Yeah, like that.

You know, I would go, I just turn my nose up at these massive numbers.

They just, the supremely gigantic number in NFL games doesn't usually pay off.

The Rams, though, against a rookie with that pass rush, that should add up to a big win for the Rams.
