purple in minny

Las Vegas - You can color me Purple this afternoon. Yea, gonna use Minnesota -6 points over Chicago. Why Eck? The Vikings have already clinched the NFC North and will most likely be the #3 seed in the playoffs. They could move up to the #2 slot with a win if the 49ers lose, but that ain't gonna happen. Minny's coach Kevin O'Connell said the team would use its starters in Chicago. "We still have a lot to play for just from a momentum standpoint for a football team that has kind of had some highs this year, for sure, and then one of our low moments of the season, where you'd like to be able to rely on a lot of things we built here to come back together and make sure we rectify some of the issues." Okay, LOVE that mindset! Also LOVE the fact that Justin Fields is NOT at QB for the Bears. It's gonna be Nathan Peterman. Lemme remind you of Peterman's stats. He has played in 12 games since 2017, started four and completed just 52.5% of his passes. But the real DISTURBING stat is his TD to INT ratio. Nathan has thrown 3 TDs over the five year stretch, but has been picked 13 times. THIRTEEN! Expecting Captain Kirk Cousins and star WR Justin Jefferson to bounce back STRONG after stinking out the joint in a 41-17 loss to the Packers at Green Bay last week. Color me Purple and my wallet BRIGHT BENJAMIN GREEN!
