So here we are, the Purple Insider Roundtable with Brian Murphy and Manny Hill presented by our friends at Fandul.

0:16.7

Well, how about we start there, Manny, with the Vikings get to three and two.

0:21.0

And where their playoff odds are right now, plus 260,

0:25.7

Fanduil still does not have them as a playoff team.

0:28.8
