You're going to be. Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here. Returning to the show, Tege Seth, he is a data scientist, one of the best you'll find out there

on the internet and the co-host of the Stats and Scheme podcast.

You'll never believe what they do on that show they combine

stats and scheme to break down football. Tage it's great to have you back on the show

how you doing man? Yeah I appreciate you having me back on.

Was sad that I missed you last weekend in Vegas,

but I'm really glad to come on today and talk Paul.

Well, that's what I was thinking about

as I was out there, like, oh, if only Tage was here, then I would have had a good time so it was a dark cloud over my trip to Vegas but we made it through no I'm just kidding but we did get to hang out a bit in Ann Arbor when I went out there for a story that's actually coming out this week and also I did the thing with

writing in ubers and asking people about J.J McCarthy but we're not going to see J.J McCarthy this year so let's talk about other stuff what I wanted you to do

for me is to preview the first four games of the Vikings season I know that this as a math person must drive you crazy that we can't call it the first quarter of the season anymore.

Off the top of your head, what percentage is the first four games out of 17?

I think it's like 21% but not 100% sure there.

Okay, the first 21 people are going to leave in the comments.

What kind of data scientist doesn't know, four divided by 17? in the

kind of data scientist doesn't know four divided by 17 but for all intents and purposes the first quarter of the season the Vikings start out there year against the New York Giants opening game

East Rutherford New Jersey where they're going to face New York.

Let me just point it this way to you, Tege. Is there any case you can make that the New York

Giants are not terrible.

Because on paper, it doesn't look great.

Where they were last year was really bad.

Daniel Jones, I think people don't need the preseason interceptions to react to Daniel Jones.
