Benster and D Pick Your Games----Jeff Bezos Made Me Do This Emergency Post Edition

I swear to God, enough with the Thursday Night Football. Just because the NFL got in bed with Jeff Bezos doesn't mean that this package is needed. 

What you want and what you get are often at variance. But you knew that.

And we need to talk about what happened on Monday, because if you saw what happened coming, you are a liar or a sadist. 

It's a shame. No one wanted that.

I am feeling the HYYYYYPPPEEEE! and it is time to watch me work. 

Minnesota Vikings (+6.5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles Last week was a wakeup call for the Vikings, who still have some work to do if they want to prove that they aren't frauds. Kirk was very lax in holding onto the ball, and the Vikings blew a tire in the second half against Baker. The problem is that the Eagles are up next in Philly, and this is the type of game that the Vikings need to win if they want to prove the haters wrong. The good news is that Philly looked shaky at times against the Patriots, and are going to be banged up in the back end. The problem that the Vikings have is that they are banged up on the offensive line. While I think the Vikings are going to hang in there, the Eagles will be much too strong. Eagles 31, Vikings 17.

We'll find out a lot about the Vikings this week. They are banged up and their offensive line looks shaky. And the Eagles have a nasty defense. This could get out of hand in a hurry. Eagles 34, Vikings 13.

And now, it's time to talk about what happened on Monday. That sucked to see Aaron go down like that. I've been very critical about him and his exit from the Packers, but you don't like to see a guy go down like that. Any Packers fans who cheered for Aaron getting hurt has some explaining to do. I will say that what stinks about this is that the Packers won't get that conditional first round pick. Sucks for everyone, and nobody wins out of this mess.

Enjoy your Thursday. More picks on Friday. Ben out.
