I'm at number three, Ready Set Bet here on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network. We are going to head to half finally, the last game that did not go to half while we were before the break there, 19 to 10 in favor of the Packers over the Vikings. And you sit here and you just look at this, and it's like Jordan Love is just throwing the ball up for grabs and just praying that his receivers can come down to it, because Brian Flores is basically just blitzing the house every single play. And so you're getting man down the field every time. And what we what we ended up getting right there was instead of instead of Brian Flores being like, hey, man, we got back into this game, let's not let them score in the final 40 seconds of the half. He continued to just bring the house every single time. And literally three times in a row, Jordan Love just threw it up in the air down the field as far as he could throw it, because it's either an arm punt and it doesn't matter. Or his guy gets interfered with, or maybe he comes down with the ball. In one case, it was both, because Christian Watson got interfered with and he still made the catch. They convert that into a touchdown. And I am kidding you not, the live stats right now on the Minnesota Vikings, they have blitzed in the first half 84% of snaps. That is basically every single snap. That is 60% above the average NFL blitz rate. They have blitzed 84% of snaps. And while it was working for a while, it didn't work there towards the end, because the Packers had the freedom to just throw the ball up for grabs. Like I said, it's no harm, no foul. This is where situational awareness, like I think Brian Flores is a great defensive coordinator. And it's one of the reasons why I kind of liked this Vikings team, but it's situational awareness. They were in a position where it didn't matter. They were able to just huck the ball up. If they pick it off down at the five yard line, who cares when it's right before the half? They don't care. So they have the freedom to just do that. So instead of just putting your corners in these horrific positions, you should have played a little bit more conservatively. But they didn't. And it cost them a touchdown and now they're down nine again. Can you tell I have a ticket on the Vikings? If you couldn't tell, I have a ticket on the Vikings. I also have a grand decimo entry and two survivor entries on the chargers who have an empty possession to start the second half. So, that's fun. That is certainly fun. That is 36.4% of the grand decimo pool and 30.3% of the circus survivor pool on the chargers. Who are your biggest favorite of the week?

They're up by six are the Cardinals and they now have the ball again.

They are out playing the chargers, which is one of the reasons why I have a Broncos ticket in this division. Did not understand all of this chargers love, did not understand all of the chiefs love. I thought the Broncos were the best team in the division, clearly.

And we'll see. I mean, they're yet to play. But that just seems wild to me. Absolutely wild to me.

But it's still only a six point game. If the defense can hold them right here. I don't care about them covering at all. I don't care. I don't care in the least bit about them covering. I just need them to win. But 13 to 7 in favor of the Cardinals and where we are at now, now that we're into the second half and an empty possession, the chargers are now down to just a point and a half favored on the live line. So as high as like nine, nine and a half when this thing kicked, down to a point and a half that the Arizona Cardinals had the ball with 12 minutes left in the third quarter. And the Chargers just cannot seem to put plays together. Herbert is fairly efficient. I mean, it's 8 of 11 for 126, but it's just not the incompletions are coming at the wrong time. Amarion Hampton, 8 for 34 They've given Keaton Mitchell four carries. It's only gone for nine yards. Lad McConkey, your star here, basically, 4 for 74 on that side for them. Trey McBride, 5 for 74 on the other side. Kendrick Bourne, 5 for 53 on the Arizona side. They have split carries between Jeremiah Love and Tyler Algier. Now much more efficiency on the Jeremiah Love side of the split, but 6 for 32 for him, 6 for 19 for Tyler Algier. Algier does have two catches as well, so does Jeremiah Love. So, I mean, they are exact amount of touches here in this one.
