| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fanduel. |
| 0:10.1 | Matthew Collar here, along with Andrew Kramer, the Star Tribune, for our weekly hardcore preview. |
| 0:17.2 | And with this one, we'll have to see who's playing for the Green Bay Packers. |
| 0:21.5 | They have quite an extensive list of players who are banged up, but we'll go position by position and look at how these two teams match up, which I think outside of the quarterback position is either close or in a lot of ways in an advantage for the Vikings. |
