We 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.600 really appreciate how many of you have noticed of that 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:42.599 we're looking for the pod. We should have been more 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:47.519 clear about our schedule last week. Some television responsibilities intersected 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.559 with our regular recording times. Will be back for the 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.680 duration now the rest of this week in the rust 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.720 of the football season with our three episodes a week. Also, 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.040 make sure you tune in to this Friday's Gambling Show, 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.920 not only because I went four and one this week, 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.959 because we did post our picks even though we didn't 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.160 do the show, but also because we will have a 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:14.280 story that everyone can learn from. As our young protege, 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:20.640 Demonse went through the real pitfalls of gambling this week, 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.039 and you might be able to tell from the look 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.559 on his face he's here in body, but not necessarily 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.920 in spirit. Is a tough last twenty four hours for him, 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.360 and it started off so promisingly because, as you will 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.280 see by what did not make the show, Demanse, for 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.680 the first time in his life, got a Madden victory 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.720 over on me. He got a Madden victory on me 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.839 this weekend streaming live on Twitch. That Twitch stream is growing. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.480 There's a saving grace from the weekend. Also not making 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.520 the show, frisky Chargers moving into the six seed and 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.240 the Giants holding off the Commanders. None of that's in 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:59.400 the show. We had an insane Week fourteen in the NFL. 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.240 We will get to all or Week fifteen in the NFL. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.360 Was it week fifteen? It was a week fifteen in 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.120 the NFL. Every team's now played fourteen games. We will 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.160 get to all of that, plus Anthony Davis's injury. But 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.200 before we do any of that, Demons, we have to 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.360 start exactly where you wanted to start with the soccer 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:18.200 from this weekend. 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.280 Go right ahead, Yeah, it was one of the best 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.760 weekends of sports ever or my lifetime. At least, Josh 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.640 Allen and Tua finally went head to head. The Raiders 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.000 had an insane walkoff touchdown. Yeah, the Prince that was 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.200 promised came back and beat the Cowboys in overtime. But 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.160 nothing compares to what Summer calling the best World Cup 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.800 Final ever. Without further ado or final fee be forecast 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.359 until twenty twenty six, Argentina defeated France and what you're 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.320 calling the best final of the last half century. 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:52.000 Well, by the way, I said that after ninety minutes 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.440 after the full game, clearly the best World Cup final ever. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.000 But go ahead, okay, and Bope did all he could. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.680 But there is no doubt that Messi is certified. Goat, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.079 Where does he rank among the best athletes of our lifetime? 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.320 Listen, I saw this question in there. He's on the 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.799 very very short list. I mean, he is now the 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:18.840 certified greatest ever in the most popular sport in the world. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.640 So if someone wanted to argue he's the best athlete ever, 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:28.640 so be it, like you've got to at least you 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.360 got to at least be open to that possibility. But 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.320 I don't even That's not where I want to focus 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.760 on this. I want to focus on that that World 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:42.680 Cup final could not have been a more perfect sporting 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:47.200 of it. So you add the two stars of each 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:52.880 team with very different stories. So you add Messi, who 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.880 this is his last dance at the World Cup, the 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.440 only thing missing from his resume. A guy who buy 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:08.320 non World Cup accomplishments is the clear cut greatest soccer player. Ever, However, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:14.560 those of us who maybe put an added extra emphasis 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.520 on what you do in the World Cup always had 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.640 kind of a special place for Pele because Pele won 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.520 the World Cup as a teenager. His team then wanted 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.039 again to go back to back in nineteen sixty two 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.880 even though he was injured and he didn't play in it, 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.880 and then they injured him again in sixty six and 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.600 Brazil got knocked out, and then in seventy he won 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.520 it again. So he had three World Cups and four appearances. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.760 He was awesome in the final of two of those three. 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.159 He didn't play in the final of the middle one. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.039 And Messi, on the other hand, while he had won 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.080 the Golden Ball at the World Cup in twenty fourteen, 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.800 he had lost that final. Then last World Cup they 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.920 got knocked out in the round of sixteen by France 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.680 and Imbope. So that's the Messi story going into this game. 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.800 Then there's the Embape story again using the Pele standard. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.039 At the World Cup in twenty eighteen, Imbape became the 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.159 first teenager to score in a World Cup final since Pele. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.479 Throughout this World Cup, A tied and passed many of 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.599 Pele's records as far as goals before you turn twenty four, 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.640 had a chance to become the first France had a 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.120 chance to become the first team to go back to 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.440 back in the World Cup since Pele in Brazil, the 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.360 ones we were talking about. So those were the storylines 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:44.200 going into this game. And then those two athletes delivered 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:50.320 in a way that I don't know what the comp is. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:55.720 So the World Cup opens twenty minutes in with a 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.960 bad foul by France, Messi gets a penalty kick nail. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:06.800 About fifteen minutes later, out of nowhere, Argentina gets out 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.160 on a break. Messi makes a perfect pass to spring 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.120 the break. There's then another pass and then Messi's Scottie 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:19.200 Pippen to his Michael Jordan An held Maria, who they 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.360 didn't even know if he was going to start this game, 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:26.160 finishes it perfectly and it's two nothing Argentina and in 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.360 Bape's done nothing in the first half of this game. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:34.719 In Bope had eleven touches, the least of any player 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.919 that had started the game. And then Argentina seemed to 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.240 be in firm control. And then all of a sudden, 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.440 much like happened against the Netherlands, Argentina in the waning 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.680 moments started to flounder a bit. They now commit a 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.280 bad foul. In Bope steps to the spot, nails it. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:07:02.359 One minute later, in Bope nails it again, not a 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.520 penalty kick, just a great goal, and all of a 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.919 sudden it's two to two and we're And then in 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:12.640 the ninety fifth minute, essentially the final play of the game, 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:20.160 Messi has an unbelievable attempt from outside the box and 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.800 Lauris saves it, saves it, what would have been the 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.920 greatest soccer moment ever. He saves it. We're going to 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:33.360 extra time. In extra time, Messi scores again, seemingly to 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:38.600 win the World Cup. Everyone is crying. Then Argentina commits 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.160 it's a handball in the box and Bob steps to 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.960 the spot again scores. He now has a hat trick. 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.160 So Messi has two goals and Babe has a hat trick. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.440 And then it looks like France is gonna win it. 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.360 In the final second they have a breakaway. Great job 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.000 by the Argentina goaltender saves it. We go to penalty 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.960 in Bape and Messe Messi both step up, both make 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.600 their penalty kicks, and then and then France missus one 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:12.280 and gets one blocked and Argentina wins. So you have 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.920 Messi's crowning achievement of his career. You then also have 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.600 inm Bope who now has five goals in World Cup finals. 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.320 He's twenty three years old. That's the most goals in 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.000 World Cup finals ever. He'll play in another two or 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.160 three World Cups. We'll see if they make the final. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.640 So you have a guy building a resume as one 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:38.000 of the greatest ever and in Bope who absolutely rose 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.120 to the occasion. You now have Messi, who the World 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.760 Cup was the one like yeah, but on his resume 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.600 now not only does he have a victory, he's the 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.880 only player ever to win the Golden Ball in multiple 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.440 World Cups. It could not have been more thrilling. It 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.560 could not have been a better tournament. The right champion 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.000 was crowned. I'm so thrilled, and now in twenty twenty 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.560 six attend the United States. It was absolutely sensational. We 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:10.079 have a whole question asking where Messi ranks among all 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.280 time athletes. Fifty two percent say the goat, forty percent 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.920 say he's in the top ten. All right, next, all right. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.200 The Bills had a comeback of their own in the 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.160 fourth quarter and the fourth quarter blizzard. Sorry, Josh Allen 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.439 seemed to shake off whatever had been affecting him in 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.959 the past few weeks with an impressive performance. See you, 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.240 though you didn't think he did too well well in. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.160 The second half, hit, I didn't think he did so 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:34.040 well well, go ahead. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.200 Tearing him a part at every small mistake. Meanwhile, Kansas 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.120 City played down to their competition in the Texans and 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.200 you didn't say a peep. What's up with the double standard? 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:49.120 Okay, well, let's talk about Josh Allen. So Josh Allen 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.920 started the game sailing balls over people's head. So I 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.000 tweeted out Josh Allen out here throwing to ten foot 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.200 tall wide receivers. He then was excellent the rest of 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.680 the first half. But the Dolphins I thought, had a 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.680 really smart game plan, and if they had run the 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.840 ball a little bit more consistently, they had stay dedicated 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.560 to run a little bit more, I think they could 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.160 have been in a better position. And then Josh Allen 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.880 had an incredibly risky play on the final play of 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.120 the first half. They have eight seconds left, they have 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.599 no timeouts. You got to take a quick shot to 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.160 the end zone, so if you don't get it, you 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.560 can get the field goal. Josh Allen rolled out, took 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.040 a bunch of time to where the field goal wasn't 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:29.720 going to be able to be kicked. It was the 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.520 final play of the half, but he connected for a 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.800 touchdown and it looked like, oh okay, the Bills are 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.640 going to win. The Dolphins then came storming back thanks 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.559 to a Josh Allen fumble, and then on the very 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.720 next possession he fumbled again. Now they got it back 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.840 and the Bills ended up winning the football game. When 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:54.720 people say there is a double standard of how I 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.840 look at the Bills versus the Chiefs, don't talk about 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.560 the Chiefs in a moment or Josh Allen versus Mahomes. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:04.520 Of course there is, of course, there is a different 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.680 standard for a guy who has been crowned without the 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:13.200 accomplishments versus a guy who is all the accomplishments possible. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:18.680 And second of all, I give Josh Allen credit for 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:23.080 having overall an excellent game. It's like four hundred yards, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.000 four touchdowns. He ran the ball great once the snow 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.240 started coming down. I will give him credit. What I 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.520 won't do is pretend that that has been the standard 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.960 for him the last two months. That's his first excellent 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:42.400 game since the Chiefs game. And the Bills listen, that's 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.400 a huge win and a great win for them because 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.479 they stay in the one seed. They are at Chicago 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.360 next week. They are then at Cincinnati and then home 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:58.160 for the Patriots to wrap up the season. They better 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:02.400 go three to zero if they right now, the Bills 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.640 are the one seed. If they go too and one, 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:10.280 but the loss is to Cincinnati, they likely end the 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.640 season as the three seed, and Josh Allen right now 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.440 last night's game, notwithstanding, has not been a top three 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:24.760 quarterback in the AFC this year. So those are all 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.440 just facts. Mahomes, on the other hand, who will get 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.720 to in a moment, played a perfect football game yesterday. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.679 Now granted it was well, you know what, let's get 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:35.440 to it right now, go. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.839 Ahead, perfect football game. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:38.160 He did. 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.880 Go ahead? All right. You can say that, you can 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.439 say all you want and that there was never a doubt, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.000 but everybody knows you had had to been sweating through. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.160 I mean, I definitely know I was in the room. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.520 But your team is almost blown it against Denver and 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.880 Houston back to back weeks, two of the worst teams 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.280 in football. You claim Buffalo isn't anything to be scared of, 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.040 but your chiefs are having a hard time with Rippin 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.880 and Millis Mills. Mills always say, Millis, if the last 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.880 two I'm sorry, If the last two. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.440 Games aren't putting you on high alert, then what will Okay, First, 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.520 let me explain what I said before you said you 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.640 seem to scoff when I said Mahomes played a perfect 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:21.800 football game because literally the highest completion percentage on a 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.880 forty pass game in NFL history. He threw forty one 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.160 times five were incomplete. He was thirty six of forty one. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.240 He threw two touchdowns, he ran for another touchdown. The 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:41.080 Chiefs could not stop committing egregious defensive penalties, and guys 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.920 not named Patrick Mahomes could not stop fumbling the football. 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.000 So here's where I'm at with Kansas City. Am I 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:55.839 frustrated with the fact that it was the Texans? Well yeah, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:01.880 I mean, listen, I didn't expect them to blow out 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.240 the Texans, because the Chiefs tend not to blow out 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.480 terrible teams. Did I expect them to have to go 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.120 to overtime to beat the Texans? Of course not. I'm 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.840 not going to act like that's a good win by 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:18.640 the team. And right now, once again, this seems to 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:24.680 be Patrick Mahomes has to do everything for this team 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:30.080 or else they can't survive. Now, why I actually feel 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.960 okay about that is because he's the best player who's 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.440 ever lived. So of anyone who has to do everything 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.080 for a team in order for you to survive, I'd 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:44.120 rather it be him than literally anyone else. Okay, So 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:50.760 this is where we get to the MVP conversation, and 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:56.360 I find it's so ludicrous. Mahomes has all the numbers, 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:01.800 all the eye tests, and on top of that, right now, 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:07.600 other than Travis Kelce, who on the Chiefs is playing 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:12.240 even really well much less great. The answer had been 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.600 Chris Jones, but they couldn't get to Davis Mills yesterday. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:20.640 The pass defense, pass rush, and secondary has fallen apart 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.600 ever since the pick six against Russell Wilson. Since then, 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:32.080 you've let Russell Wilson, Brett Rippon and Davis Mills in 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.440 six and a half quarters of football score fifty three 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.040 points on you, mostly through the air. That's or fifty 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.240 one points on you. That's no good. I think Andy 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:47.760 Reid's situational coaching has been call it less than ideal 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.600 once again this week, playing for a field goal at 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.280 the end of the game instead of letting the best 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:59.120 player in the world try to go get more yards. 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:04.480 That way, you're kicking a shorter field goal. Buckkerk, who 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.880 used to be the second best kicker in football, missed 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.120 a game winning field goal and missed another extra point. 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:15.400 The offensive line once again is not playing great, particularly 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:20.040 at the tackle spots. The Chiefs have some issues, I 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:25.960 am not denying that. With that said, what they also 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.840 have is the best player in the league by a 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:36.320 country mile. And so come the postseason, when I Listen, 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.040 I don't think the Chiefs are losing again. This was 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:44.120 the game that they totally overlooked the opponent. They could 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:48.880 have been beaten, they weren't. What they have left is Seattle, 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:54.720 which is flailing right now, in Arrowhead, Denver in Arrowhead, 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.120 and then a trip to Vegas in week eighteen when 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.200 the Raiders will be playing for nothing. So I think 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:05.280 the Chiefs, despite all those issues, despite going into the 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.919 season the toughest schedule in the league, are going to 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.560 finish fourteen and three that will either be the one 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.240 or the two seed. Buffalo is gonna have to win 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.280 out for fourteen and three by Kansas City to not 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.080 be the one seed, to not be the second best 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:26.600 record in the entire NFL. So that again gets me 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:31.680 to some of my Buffalo criticism has been the fact 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.639 that they were and still are the favorites for the 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:38.160 Super Bowl. Josh Allen was the league MVP favorite going 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.120 into the year, and I didn't think they had earned 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.040 that place. And to be honest with you, I think 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.840 I'm being proven correct on that. Buffalo. Yes they have 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.600 the same record as Kansas City, and yes this week 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.359 they looked far better than Kansas City. But they have 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.280 clearly not been the overwhelming juggernaut that so many people 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:01.320 promised me they were. Also, and this is sad and 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.440 a little scary, but it's true. This week, the Bill's 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.280 best offensive lineman and most important offensive lineman, their center, 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.040 Mitch mor Scott a concussion. That's noteworthy because it is 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:18.359 his sixth career concussion. So he might be done, not 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.680 like just for the year. He might his career might 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.679 be over. We'll see. He also could be back in 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.280 two weeks. I don't know. We have to read more 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:28.760 about that, but that part for Buffalo is really concerning. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.640 And I'm gonna say another thing for Buffalo, I think 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.159 they are being reckless in how they are using Josh Allen. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.359 He is getting the crap kicked out of him each 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.960 and every week because they have to have him running 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.640 the football for their offense to work effectively. I think 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:49.760 it's risky. But with all that said, to circle back 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:54.960 to the MVP thing, the Chiefs are going to at worst, 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.040 pardon me, be thirteen and four. Sound like I'm choked up, 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:00.520 but I just lost my voice. We can have a 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.960 bit of a call. Hold on at worst to be 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:08.040 thirteen and four and likely be fourteen and three at 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:12.120 worst be the three seed, almost assuredly though the one 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.360 or the two seeds, and the team right now does 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.920 not look that great, So how can that be true? 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:25.320 Because of the guy they have playing quarterback, who also, 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.680 by the way, happens to I just want to let 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.520 you because in years it's sometimes it's like, Okay, yes 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:34.760 we know he's the best player, but he's not having 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:39.520 the best season right now. In the NFL passing yards, 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:44.640 Mahomes forty five hundred, Herbert in second place four thousand. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:50.040 That's five hundred clear of second place. Touchdowns Mahomes thirty five, 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.159 Joe Burrow thirty one. That's four clear of second place. 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.359 Passer rating Mahomes right now one oh five. That is 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.760 behind only Gino and Tua, neither of whom are exactly 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:06.480 in the MVP race. And if you like ESPN's QBR, 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.120 Mahomes is at eighty. No one else is at seventy two. 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.920 So he has the numbers, he has the eye test, 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:18.040 he has the success. He's the league MVP, unless, of course. 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:19.320 They play the Chargers. 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:21.920 Well, no, I mean they're two to zero against the Chargers. 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:24.399 No, not the Bills. I'm talking about are you at 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.040 all nervous that Mahomes will have to play the Chargers 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:28.480 a game for a third time in the playoffs. 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:32.240 Well, I don't think they will though. Right now, the 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.159 Chargers are the seven seed and the Chiefs are the 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.240 two seed. But even if the Chiefs stay the two seed, 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.040 the Chargers, I believe, are gonna get all the way 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.679 to the five line. So that here's the thing for 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.080 the Chargers right now. Yes, the Chargers of the seventh 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.719 seed or the sixth seed actually is where the Chargers 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.520 are right now, so they wouldn't even have to plame 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:55.000 right now. But what the Chargers have left is Colts, Rams, Broncos. 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.000 So I don't think the Chargers are losing again. I 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.359 think they're gonna get all the way to the five line. 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.640 And hey, my preseason conference title game, if you remember, 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:10.760 was Chiefs Chargers. The Chargers are eight and six, but 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:14.400 three of those losses came to the Chiefs and Niners 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.520 by a combined ten points. So I think they're an 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:22.120 excellent team and a super scary team. I don't want 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:23.840 to have to play the Chargers again, but the playoffs 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.880 are hard. And what I was saying though, is Mahome's 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:32.359 the MVP, unless, of course, this guy wins it. Demonse, 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:37.760 what are we talking about here, oh Demonstra, Okay, let 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:39.560 me all right listen. I now have to tell the 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.520 audience it's gonna wait till Friday. Demons made a five 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.960 team ten point teaser for way more money than he 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:50.360 ever should have, because it felt like one of those 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:53.000 how does it lose? Did every Legue hit except for 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:53.360 this one? 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:55.959 It did end up point? Oh? 0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:01.520 Okay, so every Legue hit except he had Dallas plus 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.520 five and Dallas was up I think seventeen in this 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:10.040 game at one point, and then had the ball in overtime, 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:14.280 and again he's got Dallas plus five and Dak throws 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:16.960 a pick six and they lose by six. 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:18.920 Cincinnati game almost cheered me. 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:24.440 Up at first, but then they collapsed. That's so Cincinnati. 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:30.879 He had the Bengals plus six or something as the 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.080 last leg of it, but it was dead already and 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:36.879 they were down seventeen to nothing, and I was watching 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:38.800 it thinking the same thing. I'm like, oh, you'll feel better. 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.800 It was just a bad bet. But no, the Bengals 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:45.600 came strong. Yes, so Demnse faded the Prince That was 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:49.960 promised in a ten unit wager, which you shouldn't be 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:53.280 making ten unit wagers. But he did and he lost, 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:56.000 and that's bad. But now let's talk about the prince 0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:56.640 that was promised. 0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:00.199 If the Prince that was promised defeated America's teams, that 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.200 mean that he's the new King of the States. 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:04.880 I'm gonna use that line on TV. That's a great line. 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.760 Go ahead, Okay, Trevor Lawrence and the Jags mounted and 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:11.240 impressed him comeback against the Cowboys. Will disregard the fact 0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.280 that Lawrence fumbled it under two minutes and the defense 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:16.040 was the one who scored the game winning touchdown and 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:21.160 overtime Dag's dagger interception left What's Right Executive producer slash 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:25.800 Cowboys fan Kara asking for Cooper rushback. Okay, you've been 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.440 claiming Lawrence is a top ten quarterback. Care to put 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.240 your money where your mouth is and bet the Jags 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:30.920 to make the playoffs. 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.760 Okay, I literally already did bet the Jacksmith playoffs before 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:37.520 the year. That bet is very alive. I think the 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:39.840 Jags are gonna be the four seed. I think the 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.920 Jags are gonna run the Titans down. They've already beaten 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:46.560 them once. So the Jags and by the way, just 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:50.160 some fun facts for you guys over the last let 0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:55.480 me look since week nine, since week nine, we just 0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:58.640 had week fifteen, where do you think Trevor Lawrence ranks 0:23:58.640 --> 0:23:59.920 in the NFL and passer rating? 0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:02.879 Give it a guess or fifth. 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.440 First, where do you think Trevor Lawrence? 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:08.119 Oh yeah, he does have like seventeen straight touchdowns in 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:08.960 like one interception. 0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:12.400
