Press to jump
- 2:04Solak celebrates Kimes getting every Week 9 game prediction right.
- 3:00Buffalo controlled possession against Minnesota, building its approach around the run game.
- 17:03They compare Buffalo's protection against heavy blitzing with Green Bay's approach.
- 24:18Minnesota's quarterback alternatives include Daniel Jones and a possible Kirk Cousins reunion.
- 41:43Jacksonville's additions of Jessie Bates III and Jordan Davis shift the discussion to defensive needs.
- 57:58They credit Howie Roseman with accumulating early-round draft picks through deadline trades.
Ben Solak has a little bookkeeping to do before the football breakdown: Mina Kimes got every game right on her previous preview show. Viewers have been keeping track of her picks, and he makes sure her perfect card gets its moment.
Then comes the less tidy business of Minnesota's offense. Their trade-deadline episode, the most watched of eight uploads this week with nearly 50,000 views, examines Buffalo's ball-control win and the Vikings' quarterback options. Despite the Kirk Cousins trade announcement in the title, the conversation itself weighs a possible reunion rather than reacting to a completed deal.
Kimes also finds room for a particular pleasure: watching Troy Aikman respond to poor quarterback play. Solak supplies the tactical detail, explaining how Buffalo adjusted its protection against Brian Flores' blitz-heavy defense. Later, they assess Jacksonville's additions of Jordan Davis and Jessie Bates III, with Solak arguing that the Jaguars are his choice to emerge from the AFC.
Thursday brings Ran Carthon into the guest seat for "Week 10 Preview and Picks! | The Mina Kimes Show Featuring Lenny". That's the upload carrying the most momentum now, followed by "Howie Roseman did it again", a shorter return to the deadline discussion.
The channel's subscriber count stayed level, while daily views are running below half their usual pace. Nearby sports outlets have mixed fortunes too: New York Post Sports is drawing substantially more daily viewing than usual, while Fantasy Football Today is close to its normal rhythm.
Football wasn't the whole menu. David Dennis Jr. returned for Love Is Blind's Boston weddings, with Charlie Kravitz joining the accompanying Traitors discussion. Altar decisions and defensive schemes both had a place on Kimes' calendar.
