Good morning, everybody, the simple handicap for Wednesday, September 13th. Thank you for making me a part of your morning. No pleasantries, no morning rant this morning, straight into the market rundown for NFL week number two. And it begins tomorrow with the Vikings on the road at the Philadelphia Eagles. Draft King, six and a half. Everywhere else, minus seven across the board. It was as high as Eagles, eight and a half, and it's been one

way for the Vikings. Misleading box score. Injuries accumulating for the Eagles, everything's

swaying the way of the Minnesota Vikings at the moment. In regards to the injuries,

keep an eye on James Bradbury, read Blankenship. Blankenship led the Eagles and tackles on Sunday as well as

Nacobo Dean. He was the green dot on the defense. He goes down. He's now an IR. Uncertain about

where the leadership role now goes within that defensive backfield for Philly. It was supposed

to go to Blankenship who finished a game with it. However, if he's not out there on Sunday,

the Eagles defense down two pretty significant

leaders.

On the other side, for the Vikings, Christian Derisaw and Garrett Bradbury are both estimated

non-participants in practice on the offensive line.

The Eagles just played a Patriots team missing two offensive linemen.

They were in the backfield all day long, certainly do the same to the Vikings and get a very similar impact on Kurt Cousins

who struggles with pressure nearly as much as Daniel Jones. From the Viking side, something of

note now that we have advanced stats coming out, all the databases are updated. The changes for

Brian Flores certainly realized we anticipated

that he would be one of the most aggressive defensive coordinators in the league. A huge shift for

Minnesota. Sure enough, Flores blitzes 48% of all snaps second highest in the NFL for week number one.

That's a change from the Vikings who finished bottom five in blitz rate just a season ago.

However, the pressure rate for Minnesota, below league average.

So Flores gambling a ton.

That's his M.O. That's what he does.
