Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul.

Matthew Collar here, along with Will Reggets from Vikings on SI.

And, you know, Will, when we get together, I feel like we just have to play a game of Talk Me Into.

It's been a pretty stressful first four weeks of the season for Minnesota Vikings fans. And I feel like I haven't played any

games with anybody on the show all season long so far because it's been mostly talk about

injured players has been probably 85% of the conversation. So why don't we play a game of Talk Me

Into? But first, welcome back. How we feel in? How you doing? Good. Thanks for having me.

Always good to come on with you. It's been, as you well know, and everyone listening or watching

knows a roller coaster of a first month of the season

here but it's been entertaining you can't you can't say it's been boring so we've had plenty

to talk about and write about and yeah looking forward to it well why don't we start off in a good

place and then it will probably devolve into not as good places. How about this? So right now on

Fandul, the Minnesota Vikings are plus 300 to win 10 or more games. I'm going to tell you some

other teams that are around that same ballpark, Arizona, Chicago, Houston, even Dallas is in the

same range as the Minnesota Vikings, pretty clear that the

betting world is not super high on what's going on with the Vikings. Talk me into 10 plus wins

for the Minnesota Vikings, even though right now plus 300 to do that on Fandul. Yeah, I mean,

coming into the season, I thought the Vikings had a really good chance to win 10 plus games, maybe win 11, 12 games just based on, you know, a bet on the coaching staff

and on the talent and on the infrastructure and on the quarterback play being good enough.

And right now they're two and two, but I've seen a little bit too much, I don't know,

a lot of doom and gloom coming out of that Steelers game.

And I understand it.
