Summary

Matthew Coller talks with former PFF data analysts and current operator of the Substack "Unexpected Points" about the Vikings' analytics. Do the numbers say they should play starters? Who would they match up worst against? Why does his power rankings see them in the middle of the league? Plus Matthew is joined by XM host and Giants radio host Lance Medow to get insight into how the Giants are 8-5-1 despite Daniel Jones playing super conservatively and the defense not ranking highly. Are they in the same league as the Vikings? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
