Speaker 1: Welcome in What Try with Nick Wright episode two ninety
Speaker 1: five A little you're gonna be like, well, this looks
Speaker 1: like a different setup. Listen, the landlord at Trentage just
Speaker 1: the rates too high. If the Landlord of Trentage happens
Speaker 1: to be my wife, I'm obviously not serious. But we
Speaker 1: are in the midst of a new studio. This is so,
Speaker 1: this is the current studio for the time being. Demanse
Speaker 1: right now in the midst of a similar change. However,
Speaker 1: he still has his the landlords at Blue Duck. We're
Speaker 1: a little more forgiving on a little race period while
Speaker 1: we developed a new studio. So Demanse's setup still looks
Speaker 1: normal if you're watching his live on YouTube, we appreciate it. Uh.
Speaker 1: We also a few other changes. We're gonna try this
Speaker 1: show with no commercial breaks, no breaks in it, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna try over the next few weeks and months
Speaker 1: to try to roll in more listener comments throughout the show.
Speaker 1: So if you're live on YouTube, try to do that
Speaker 1: rather and just save it for the end of the show.
Speaker 1: But other than that, normal show another week given out
Speaker 1: winning picks just red hot these playoffs, we'll get to
Speaker 1: it fully in a moment Demons, but last week and
Speaker 1: Undefeated one push three wins, so seven to two to
Speaker 1: one for the playoff season so far. One oh one
Speaker 1: added bonus of the show being now from my home
Speaker 1: at the moment at least and not being remote is
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have actual coffee mugs, so I feel like
Speaker 1: maybe I need this is just like as boring of
Speaker 1: a coffee mug as it gets. I feel like, maybe,
Speaker 1: like diehard listeners or whatever that should be, they should
Speaker 1: maybe send me coffee mugs to promote their business. I
Speaker 1: think that could be a cool thing we do. Just
Speaker 1: drink out a coffee for people that listen and whatever
Speaker 1: and do it that way. I didn't really think that
Speaker 1: through when I said it. Now there's a mailing address
Speaker 1: that has to be involved. That's probably gonna involve a
Speaker 1: lot of work for people that aren't named Nick, right,
Speaker 1: But that's fine. Let's get to the show. Championship weekend.
Speaker 1: Here's what missed the cut. Josh McDaniels headed back to
Speaker 1: New England. We're not gonna be discussing that the Spurs
Speaker 1: and Pacers play in Paris today. We're not gonna be
Speaker 1: discussing that. And I guess the Philadelphia Mayor misspelled the
Speaker 1: Eagles in the e A G L E S Eagles chant.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. That's a tough one. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, it's not great. It's not the worst thing
Speaker 1: that's ever happened. It's not great, demons. Let's get right
Speaker 1: to the show, though, because Arrowhead Invitational is upon us.
Speaker 2: Yes, so it is that time of year again, the
Speaker 2: Arrowhead Invitational. Josh Allen will be going into Arrowhead and
Speaker 2: facing Mahomes and the Chiefs. He's done everything that he's
Speaker 2: needed to do this year to get to this point.
Speaker 2: Would you say that Maholmes needs to outplay Josh Allen
Speaker 2: in this game or does Josh Allen need to outplay
Speaker 2: Mahomes here?
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I do not think either team can win
Speaker 1: this game with their corequarterback playing worse than the other teams.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is there are so that might be, like, well,
Speaker 1: isn't in the case in every game? No, Like Eagles
Speaker 1: Rams this weekend, Jalen Hurts did not need to doubt
Speaker 1: play Matt Stafford, which is good because he didn't. Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts needed to avoid the critical mistake and rely on
Speaker 1: Saquon and his defense. This is I understand James Cook
Speaker 1: has had an underrated and awesome season. This game is
Speaker 1: going to come down to the quarterbacks, and that can
Speaker 1: sometimes be banal or boring commentary. In this specific instance,
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to. So I want to
Speaker 1: talk about Mahomes here first, and then I want to
Speaker 1: talk about the Bills. But actually, before I even talk
Speaker 1: about Mahomes, I want to one final note on the
Speaker 1: referee commentary of the week because it's really enraged me.
Speaker 1: And I didn't care right after the game, but now
Speaker 1: that dishonest folks listen. It's one thing if you're stupid.
Speaker 1: It's another thing if you're being intention if you're smart
Speaker 1: enough to know better and being intentionally dishonest. And I
Speaker 1: really like Warren Sharp. I think Warren Sharp is a
Speaker 1: smart guy, which makes what he's been peddling this week
Speaker 1: so embarrassing the arbitrary. So folks are trying to all
Speaker 1: of the numbers say the Chiefs are middle of the
Speaker 1: pack in penalties received. We talked about this on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: So and in the twenty twenty Super Bowl, the Chiefs
Speaker 1: got annihilated in the penalty margin against them, the one
Speaker 1: they lost to Tampa. Now, that had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with the loss. And the only reason I'm bringing that
Speaker 1: up is because there is a new sample folks are
Speaker 1: looking at. And obviously in twenty twenty one, the Chiefs
Speaker 1: didn't win the Super Bowl. This run started in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. But folks have decided if you start with
Speaker 1: the sample of twenty twenty one to now, you have
Speaker 1: a group of playoff games where the Chiefs won the
Speaker 1: penalty margin ten out of eleven games, and that now
Speaker 1: is the smoking gun. But here's the problem. So Jeff
Speaker 1: Schwartz has done a good job fighting this battle, but
Speaker 1: we are putting all in one bucket. Judgment calls, non
Speaker 1: judgment calls, and we're throwing out called penalties that weren't accepted.
Speaker 1: So if the Chiefs have five penalties in a game
Speaker 1: and the other team has eight penalties, and that happens repeatedly,
Speaker 1: but if the judgment call penalty meaning holding illegal contact
Speaker 1: DPI o PI, those things are dead even. And the
Speaker 1: other ones are pre snap penalties, which are did you
Speaker 1: do it? Did you not? Offside's false start delay a game?
Speaker 1: Does that actually tell you anything about the referees favoring
Speaker 1: one team or another, of course not And so I'll
Speaker 1: read Jeff's tweet exactly without context of these of the penalty.
Speaker 1: These splits are misleading. Take the Chiefs Dolphins wild card
Speaker 1: game last season. Dolphins had eight penalties included two false starts,
Speaker 1: a delay, a game in an illegal formation, So four
Speaker 1: penalties were called based on the judgment of the officials.
Speaker 1: Four that's in this sample of Oh, the Chiefs have
Speaker 1: gotten all the calls. The Chiefs had five accepted penalties
Speaker 1: six total, One was a DPI with it they declined it,
Speaker 1: one false start and four judgment penalties. So that this
Speaker 1: Chiefs Dolphins game as just a one off example that's
Speaker 1: being used as man another game, the Chiefs doubled up
Speaker 1: the other team in penalties. Judgment call penalties were four
Speaker 1: to four. And I really don't want to litigate this
Speaker 1: because I think it's so unbelievably dumb and I that
Speaker 1: this there have been during this run. There have been
Speaker 1: two calls that you can say end of game critical
Speaker 1: situations really benefited the Chiefs. The late hit out of
Speaker 1: bounds in the Bengals game and the hold in the
Speaker 1: Eagles Super Bowl. Both of those players that those penalties
Speaker 1: were called against immediately after the game apologized for committing
Speaker 1: the penalty and acknowledged they committed the penalty, including James Bradbury,
Speaker 1: said yeah, I held him. I was hoping the referees
Speaker 1: would let it go and so that just set that
Speaker 1: part aside as well. The reason this is so frustrating
Speaker 1: for me is because it is allowing some of the worst.
Speaker 1: If I'm loyal to anything, it's to takes. My family
Speaker 1: is of course first, but takes second. And it's allowing
Speaker 1: the worst media members off the hook. I shouldn't say
Speaker 1: the worst media members the worst takes off the hook
Speaker 1: because I was fighting a one man wore this regular
Speaker 1: season saying football media has this Chiefs team wrong. How
Speaker 1: many shows did we do? Where I said, folks are
Speaker 1: arguing this is the worst team of the Mahomes era,
Speaker 1: And I said, how ridiculous. I thought that was how
Speaker 1: many shows did I do? When I said, folks are
Speaker 1: are praying at the altar of the Lion's margin of
Speaker 1: victory as if that is gonna be some type of
Speaker 1: evidence as to how they're going to do in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Folks are saying, oh, the Chiefs can't keep getting away
Speaker 1: with this jesse and breaking bad style, like the luck's
Speaker 1: going to run out. And we had folks say this
Speaker 1: is the type of team that loses their first playoff game.
Speaker 1: And then we had folks say going into that first
Speaker 1: playoff game that Houston pass rushman watch out. And now
Speaker 1: instead of having to acknowledge, because all of those same
Speaker 1: people last year, when there was legitimate concern last year
Speaker 1: said oh no, never seen this guy win on the road,
Speaker 1: this type of path Buffalo Old Clipham, if not Baltimoreal Clipham.
Speaker 1: They have now two years in a row, been very
Speaker 1: loud and very wrong about the defining dynasty of our era,
Speaker 1: and this week, when they should have to own it,
Speaker 1: they've moved it to where the conversation is about the
Speaker 1: officials in a game that the Chiefs were up by
Speaker 1: eleven with thirty seconds left and then self safety, so
Speaker 1: they end up winning by nine. So that part is
Speaker 1: incredibly irritating to me. And here is the other part
Speaker 1: that is irritating to me. We are missing what is
Speaker 1: one of the most unbelievable singular athlete sports stories of
Speaker 1: all time. And because we have spent this week discussing
Speaker 1: the refs. We might not get to have the discussion
Speaker 1: because it is as and we'll discuss this in a bit.
Speaker 1: It is on the board. The Chiefs lose this weekend.
Speaker 1: Buffalo's excellent. No player has ever gone four and oh,
Speaker 1: no quarterback has ever gone four and oh against another
Speaker 1: quarterback in the playoffs. It's never happened. There have been
Speaker 1: three instances of three and oh Aikeman over Farve, Brady
Speaker 1: over Rivers, and one other one that I don't remember,
Speaker 1: and obviously Mahomes over Allen is three and oh, so
Speaker 1: four instances the one that I can't remember, No one's
Speaker 1: ever gone four and uh. If we look at Brady
Speaker 1: and Peyton as this rivalry in the playoffs, Brady owned
Speaker 1: Brady won the first two, then never beat him in
Speaker 1: the playoffs again. Peyton then won the last one that
Speaker 1: they played Colts Patriots in O six and then won
Speaker 1: both of the matchups Broncos Patriots when he was with Denver.
Speaker 1: So going for like it is going to be a
Speaker 1: war this weekend. And the reason I bring that up
Speaker 1: is what Patrick Mahomes did by getting to his seventh
Speaker 1: consecutive conference championship game, and this Chiefs team did is
Speaker 1: totally glossed over now. The Mahomes now has sixteen playoff
Speaker 1: wins sixteen in his thirties, Brady had twelve. The greatest
Speaker 1: winner ever, Tom Brady had twelve playoff wins in sights
Speaker 1: in his thirties. Pardon me before he turns thirty. I
Speaker 1: said that wrong. He is sixteen with a chance for
Speaker 1: seventeen this weekend. Two guys ever have made seven conference
Speaker 1: championship games other than Mahomes, Montana who made seven, and Brady,
Speaker 1: who made fourteen. For some context on that, Montana made
Speaker 1: his seventh at thirty seven years old as a Kansas
Speaker 1: City chief How old is the audience right now? If
Speaker 1: you had to guess think Tom Brady was when he
Speaker 1: made his seventh conference championship game he made fourteen of them.
Speaker 1: The answer is thirty five years old. Tom Brady throughout
Speaker 1: until he was thirty five years old, had been to
Speaker 1: six conference championship games. Mahomes now has been to seventies
Speaker 1: twenty nine. This Chiefs team now has at the very
Speaker 1: least tied. I would argue set the record, so to speak,
Speaker 1: for the greatest season for a two time defending champion
Speaker 1: for a team going for a three peat. Teams going
Speaker 1: for a three peat, here is what they've done that
Speaker 1: the team's the closest competitors. The Steelers, after their first
Speaker 1: two championships with Bradshaw, made the Conference championship game after
Speaker 1: a ten win season now to be fair, fourteen game schedule,
Speaker 1: so ten and four and lost to the Raiders. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys made the Conference championship game and lost to the Niners.
Speaker 1: And the Niners made the Conference championship game after going
Speaker 1: fourteen and two and lost a classic to the Giants,
Speaker 1: the Roger Craig Fumble Game. And now the Chiefs, after
Speaker 1: starting fifteen and one resting guys in Week eighteen going
Speaker 1: fifteen and two, are in the Conference championship game. It
Speaker 1: is the greatest attempt at a three peat we've ever seen,
Speaker 1: and all year long, folks ignored it, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say ignored it, but tried to downplay it. And
Speaker 1: now in the playoff run we're talking about the reps.
Speaker 1: It's just incredibly irritating.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, going to the to the penalty. Thing behind
Speaker 2: the box office says, why can't people give Andy Reid
Speaker 2: in Spags credit for being arguably the best coaching due
Speaker 2: of all time, little penalties, and always well prepared to
Speaker 2: face teams that have equal that have equal or more
Speaker 2: talent than the Chiefs. So that's the others also come
Speaker 2: down to coaching and stuff.
Speaker 1: That's the other piece of it. That I just the
Speaker 1: idea that it's a shocker that a team with a
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback, the best head coach in the league, the
Speaker 1: best coordinator in the league, the playoff, you know, battle tested,
Speaker 1: would cut down the penalties in the postseason is just lunacy.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing I will say. One of
Speaker 1: the pieces of why you want to play at home
Speaker 1: is there is It's not huge, but they documented home
Speaker 1: field advantage to the calls. This isn't for the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: this is for the league. Home teams get a slightly
Speaker 1: better whistle across sports than road teams. Well, when you
Speaker 1: have played of your hownty playoff games, they've played nine
Speaker 1: playoff games, two on the road for Super Bowls. So
Speaker 1: they have played nine playoff games nineteen pardon me, thirteen
Speaker 1: home playoff games. Yeah, that's I'm sure there is a
Speaker 1: bit of home field of vantage of that, but that's
Speaker 1: why you want to be at home. And so I
Speaker 1: just I found the whole thing ridiculous. Now, if I
Speaker 1: may on Patrick quickly, and we'll talk more about the
Speaker 1: actual matchups in this game during the picks, Patrick's gonna
Speaker 1: have to be great. The Chiefs have set the record
Speaker 1: all time NFL history. Think about that, all one hundred
Speaker 1: plus years of football, no team has ever gone more
Speaker 1: consecutive games without a turnover. It's not some fugees record.
Speaker 1: That's not Oh, here's the very basic consecutive games no turnovers.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have set it with eight. Patrick has not
Speaker 1: turned the ball over since the last time they played
Speaker 1: the Bills. Patrick's gonna have to be excellent, and they
Speaker 1: are going to need more than Kelsey and Xavier Worthy
Speaker 1: in this game. Now. I think the Chiefs defense matches
Speaker 1: up far better against Buffalo than it did the first matchup,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that in a bit. But to
Speaker 1: answer Demanse's initial question, Yeah, Mahomes needs to play Josh
Speaker 1: out played Josh Allen for the Chiefs to win. I
Speaker 1: think the Bills are an excellent team all year long.
Speaker 1: I've said this is the second best team in football
Speaker 1: to Monse, and I think we're gonn to see the potentially,
Speaker 1: the not potentially. I do think we're gonna see the
Speaker 1: two best teams in football playing Sunday evening for a
Speaker 1: chance to go to the Super Bowl. For the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: they would also become the only team ever right, hold on,
Speaker 1: the Patriots made the Super Bowl in fourteen sixteen, They
Speaker 1: won it in fourteen, sixteen and eighteen, and they lost
Speaker 1: it in seventeen. Yeah, the Chiefs would become the only
Speaker 1: team ever to make five Super Bowls in six years,
Speaker 1: and the one year they didn't, they would have lost
Speaker 1: in overtime of the conference championship game. All right, let's
Speaker 1: go to the Bills.
Speaker 2: So on, Josh Allen. So, Josh Allen has eliminated most
Speaker 2: of that roller coaster trait that you said that he has.
Speaker 2: But you say before, as you said before, whenever teams
Speaker 2: play the Chiefs, they tend to get in their head
Speaker 2: and play outside of their game. Do you think that
Speaker 2: there's a chance that you might find Josh Allen trying
Speaker 2: to play euroball because he gets hisself gets himself into
Speaker 2: a situation.
Speaker 1: So I do think that's gonna happen. And here's why
Speaker 1: it's not an This is not an indictment on Josh.
Speaker 1: But Josh last year in this game, it was very
Speaker 1: odd because on the opening play of the the opening
Speaker 1: drive of the game, he threw that lateral across the field.
Speaker 1: It was by the way, it was in the illegal lateral,
Speaker 1: but whatever. But aside from that, Josh was super conservative.
Speaker 1: Thirty nine passes for one hundred and eighty six total yards,
Speaker 1: not a The Bills did not have a single play
Speaker 1: of twenty yards and they didn't have a single pass
Speaker 1: play of more than fifteen yards. So Josh tried to
Speaker 1: play the conservative safe game. They lost, and I do
Speaker 1: not think they are going to now. He played a
Speaker 1: conservative safe game against Baltimore, but Baltimore was because of
Speaker 1: the mistakes in the first half. The Bills had control
Speaker 1: of that game basically start to finish, and you saw
Speaker 1: he alluded to it in his press conference with the
Speaker 1: He almost lateraled on the third and goal, right before
Speaker 1: the field goal to go up eight. As soon as
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, we have to make a play,
Speaker 1: we have to make a play. As soon as that happened,
Speaker 1: that devil on his shoulder popped back up and like,
Speaker 1: come on, Josh, you know what you want to do.
Speaker 1: I think Josh has been superb this year. I have
Speaker 1: said many times I thought he was the league MVP.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills game plan of don't make mistakes,
Speaker 1: just you know, play solid football, run the ball will
Speaker 1: work in this game. I think that the Chiefs are
Speaker 1: going to be too dynamic offensively, and I think that
Speaker 1: the Bills pass rush is not going to create the
Speaker 1: same problems the Texans pass rush did. And because of that,
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are going to be able to
Speaker 1: move the ball vertically and Josh is gonna have to
Speaker 1: stay blow for blow. So I'll go ahead and make
Speaker 1: what is a pretty ambitious prediction because Josh hasn't he
Speaker 1: hasn't thrown a pick. Oh, I guess he threw. He's
Speaker 1: thrown one pick in their last eight games. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about the fumbles. He threw a pick against the
Speaker 1: Patriots in that kind of bad Week sixteen game. I
Speaker 1: think Josh turns the ball over this weekend. I don't
Speaker 1: think it turns it over a bunch, but I think
Speaker 1: he does turn the ball over. And I know the
Speaker 1: Chiefs run defense was not very good against the Texans.
Speaker 1: That you have no one has been able to run
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs this year. I think the Chiefs run
Speaker 1: defense causes problems for James Cook, and I think Josh
Speaker 1: tries to make a play and that unbelievable. I think
Speaker 1: the Bills have what eight turnovers this year? Something insane.
Speaker 1: Josh has the I mean, I really think it's eight
Speaker 1: turnovers for the Bills this year. It's an absurd stat
Speaker 1: and a testament to Josh and what they've done. I
Speaker 1: think that snaps this weekend, and so I think one
Speaker 1: of the key factors when you look at I said
Speaker 1: it going into that Chargers Texans game. One of the
Speaker 1: reasons I picked the Texans was Herbert has done a
Speaker 1: brilliant job of not turning the ball over. Only three
Speaker 1: picks all year. What if he throws a pick? How
Speaker 1: does it affect him? And he did and then he
Speaker 1: threw a bunch lamar I said the same thing, only
Speaker 1: four picks all year, had done a great job protecting
Speaker 1: the ball. What if he throws a pick, how does
Speaker 1: it affect him? And he did it. He threw a
Speaker 1: pick in the very next drive. Turn the ball over again.
Speaker 1: Josh done a great job protecting the football. How does
Speaker 1: it turnover impact him? I think he has one this weekend.
Speaker 1: Let's go on to the next game demonstrat cast a spell. No,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen. Jane daleens a rookie.
Speaker 2: His head coach Dan Quinn is responsible for that terrible
Speaker 2: Super Bowl collapse back in twenty sixteen. Sirianni and Hurts
Speaker 2: obviously have the super Bowl experience and that very top
Speaker 2: heavy roster. Do you think it would be crazy to
Speaker 2: trust Washington more here than Philly.
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy to trust Washington more. I do
Speaker 1: not at all think it's crazy to think Washington can win. Listen,
Speaker 1: I the the game they played them, you know, six
Speaker 1: weeks ago or a month ago, and beat them thirty
Speaker 1: six thirty three. And everyone will say, yeah, well Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts got hurt in that game, and that's totally true,
Speaker 1: but Philly scored thirty three points. Like I know, Jalen
Speaker 1: was out, and maybe they would have had a totally
Speaker 1: different game plan and Philly, did you know, Kenny Pickett
Speaker 1: made some mistakes. I'm not I'm not saying everything would
Speaker 1: have gone the same, but it's not as if Washington
Speaker 1: won that game, because once Jalen got hurt, Philly couldn't
Speaker 1: move the ball. What's unbelievable about that win, Demansey is
Speaker 1: Washington turned the ball over in that game five times
Speaker 1: and scored thirty six points in one. I couldn't believe
Speaker 1: it when I was rewatching it this week, that that game.
Speaker 1: I yes, I maybe so maybe because it's it's not impossible,
Speaker 1: but it's damn near unprecedented. That game, Washington had five turnovers,
Speaker 1: lost three fumbles, had two Jaden threw two picks, and
Speaker 1: they got stopped I think was the opening drive of
Speaker 1: the game on a fourth down. So they had six
Speaker 1: possessions and in a turnover or turnover on downs and
Speaker 1: they scored thirty six points and won the game. What now?
Speaker 1: That was also a game CJ. Gardner Johnson got ejected
Speaker 1: in and that really seemed to hurt the Eagles secondary.
Speaker 1: But I think I think Washington's going to be able
Speaker 1: to move the football on Philly. And the question is
Speaker 1: can Washington at all slowed down Saquon Barkley, because up
Speaker 1: to this point, not only no one has, but they
Speaker 1: specifically haven't been able to first matchup Saquon twenty six
Speaker 1: care He's a buck forty six, two touchdowns, two catches
Speaker 1: for fifty two yards. So the first matchup one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety eight yards, two touchdowns. Second matchup twenty nine
Speaker 1: carries for a buck fifty with two touchdowns, no catches.
Speaker 1: But that was again Jalen got hurt. So he's averaging
Speaker 1: a buck seventy five yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns
Speaker 1: in two matchups against Washington this year. That will get
Speaker 1: you beat that, no matter.
Speaker 2: And Jalen Hurts are buffalo banged up going into this game.
Speaker 1: I assume, though I don't think Saquan's banged up. You're
Speaker 1: talking about because of his hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's say a leg thing, but yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: but it's leaning on Saquon. I don't trust.
Speaker 1: They've got to lean on Saquon. And I did find
Speaker 1: it interesting that Philly yesterday did not hold a practice,
Speaker 1: They held a walk through. Why is that? I think
Speaker 1: the answer is because jail, because Nick Sirianni didn't want
Speaker 1: out there that Jalen Hurts couldn't practice. Because I think
Speaker 1: Listen Jalen is a for as much criticism as Jalen
Speaker 1: fairly receives for the limitations as a passer, he is
Speaker 1: a tough dude, And I mean it looked like he
Speaker 1: could have torn every ligament in his knee on that
Speaker 1: one of those plays. He came back in a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes later. Now he got safety because Siriani made
Speaker 1: him drop back and that like he obviously had some
Speaker 1: issues there. But so I fully expect him to play.
Speaker 1: I don't you know. That part to me is not
Speaker 1: a concern at all. But let me rephrase it. It's
Speaker 1: a concern will he be effective. It's not a concern
Speaker 1: will he not play. But they are really going to
Speaker 1: have to figure out can they do something that no
Speaker 1: one's been able to do as of which is slow
Speaker 1: down Jayden Daniels. And is Jayden Daniels, I mean Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 1: If we just go back starting with the Philly game,
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty yards, This is just passing two
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards, passing five touchdowns, two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty seven yards, passing three touchdowns, two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: eight yards, passing two touchdowns, two hundred ninety nine yards
Speaker 1: passing two touchdowns. You then say, in that same stretch
Speaker 1: of games, what's his rushing ben nine for eighty one,
Speaker 1: sixteen for one, twenty seven, thirteen for thirty six in
Speaker 1: the first playoff game, sixteen for fifty one in the
Speaker 1: second playoff game. The kid's been unbelievable, flatly unbelievable. And
Speaker 1: so I do think it's crazy to trust a young
Speaker 1: team with a banged up offensive line and a below
Speaker 1: average defense more than the Eagles as a whole. I
Speaker 1: do not think it's crazy to think what to believe
Speaker 1: Washington can go in there and win that game. You
Speaker 1: got to follow up here to.
Speaker 2: I think they could win it. But if Washington and
Speaker 2: Jaden wins, will you officially have a new category of take.
Speaker 2: We'd call it category four, whereas you're wrong, but you
Speaker 2: got enough of the take correct to consider yourself correct
Speaker 2: on the take.
Speaker 1: So I mean category one is instantly correct. Yeah, Category
Speaker 1: two is eventually correct. Category three is dead wrong, like
Speaker 1: embarrassingly wrong. So what you're saying is, going into the season,
Speaker 1: I had this take the Chiefs going for a three
Speaker 1: Pat will face in the Super Bowl, a rookie quarterback
Speaker 1: who won a Heisman Trophy, who is a dual threat,
Speaker 1: who has a connection to Cliff Kingsbury, who went in
Speaker 1: the top two of the draft, and will be named
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and that if I got the first six
Speaker 1: pieces of that take correct and just the seventh wrong,
Speaker 1: do I get to claim credit. I'm here to tell
Speaker 1: you maybe. I mean if again again, If I go
Speaker 1: out on a limb and say, this year, the first
Speaker 1: time ever, a rookie is going to make the super
Speaker 1: Bowl and it's going standing between the Chiefs and a
Speaker 1: three pet will be a rookie quarterback, and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, a rookie's never made the super Bowl?
Speaker 1: And then that happens, do I get Am I more
Speaker 1: wrong because I picked the wrong rookie? Then folks that
Speaker 1: were like, oh, it's gonna be the Lions, I don't
Speaker 1: know the you know what I mean? This is a
Speaker 1: question people are asked pretty close, pretty close, pretty close,
Speaker 1: or like a combination of totally right and totally wrong.
Speaker 1: That's to me with the category four is like, if
Speaker 1: let me think of another example of this totally right
Speaker 1: and totally wrong, I would say kind of, well, no,
Speaker 1: that one doesn't work. I don't know, I can't think
Speaker 1: of it on the fly. Let's go on to the
Speaker 1: new coaches and then we'll do our picks and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yes, so we didn't have time on Tuesday but obviously
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson is going over there with Kayleb Williams and
Speaker 2: the Bears. What grade would you give that higher?
Speaker 1: I'd give that nay. I mean they got the guy
Speaker 1: they wanted to get. I again, you don't know, are
Speaker 1: you getting Matt Lafleur, Kevin O'Connell, or are you getting
Speaker 1: the long list of offensive geniuses who've never been a
Speaker 1: head coach who failed? Are you getting you know, I
Speaker 1: guess Brian Dable. It's not fair to say he failed yet,
Speaker 1: but it's not going well. There have been a lot
Speaker 1: of these guys who we thought were offensive. Mike McDaniel,
Speaker 1: by the way, is that working. I don't know. He
Speaker 1: got an extension. It worked early, and that's the veterand
Speaker 1: the real bad end is like Freddie Kitchens and Nat Hackett.
Speaker 1: And now you can say those aren't really fair example
Speaker 1: Shane Steich and I don't know if that's working. The
Speaker 1: so you can't say this is going to work great.
Speaker 1: You can say this is the guy they needed to hire.
Speaker 1: And weakening Detroit is another really good piece of this.
Speaker 1: Demanse so like and that's the other thing. And we
Speaker 1: can get to Aaron Glenn now Man, there are some
Speaker 1: legitimate concerns about Detroit, but go ahead, you can do
Speaker 1: the fin yees.
Speaker 2: So the Jets and landed Aaron Glenn. Do you think
Speaker 2: that that's a step in the right direction or is
Speaker 2: it more of the same.
Speaker 1: No. I like it for the Jetsk. I like it
Speaker 1: for the Jets, and I like the fact that they
Speaker 1: got him. It would have been He's you know, he
Speaker 1: has a real connection to that organization. It would have
Speaker 1: been an indictment if he decided he didn't want to
Speaker 1: go there. Every everyone that's ever known Aaron Glenn has
Speaker 1: been impressed by him. It seems like Sean Payton loves him,
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells loves him. Coach me and Jeanie loves him.
Speaker 1: I remember people back in Houston talking about him. Why
Speaker 1: And That's what I'm trying to remember because when I
Speaker 1: remember John Okay, that's why, it's because he played for
Speaker 1: the Texans. I was like, he never coached for the Texans.
Speaker 1: But when I lived in Houston, John Lopez, my old
Speaker 1: radio partner there, loved Aaron Glenn and would always speak
Speaker 1: highly of Aaron Glenn when he was getting his start
Speaker 1: in coaching. I think with Cleveland, so the everyone loves
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn, so that part of it, I really do like,
Speaker 1: I do think for the Lions Demons, this is a
Speaker 1: rough spot they're in now. You have back to back
Speaker 1: heartbreaking playoff losses and you lose your top two coordinators.
Speaker 2: Who I'm not saying the window loss between those Between
Speaker 2: those two.
Speaker 1: I think Ben Johnson because I'm not like, we got
Speaker 1: to see how this impacts golf, and we got to
Speaker 1: see how not having having I don't know, they'll have
Speaker 1: to learn a new system entirely. But the loss of
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson combined with you lost that game in part
Speaker 1: because of your four turnovers. What that's going to impact
Speaker 1: him on for next season? All right, let's fire off
Speaker 1: these other couple follow ups before we get Yeah.
Speaker 2: So Jacksonville fired their GM yesterday after missing out on
Speaker 2: the top head coaches. What does this mean for your guy,
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: I think it's the best thing that Listen. I don't
Speaker 1: love that they missed out on the coaches and maybe
Speaker 1: they'll still take a run at Liam Cohen. But Trevor
Speaker 1: was gonna be drawn. That team was going to be
Speaker 1: drawing dead as long as Trent Balky was there. Trent
Speaker 1: Balky hasn't been a part of a double digit win
Speaker 1: season since twenty thirteen. He somehow won a power struggle
Speaker 1: in San Francisco with Damn Jim Harbaugh and they ran
Speaker 1: Jim Barball out, So I they needed to move on
Speaker 1: from Balky. That it's really positive that they finally did
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Last one best remaining head coach opening Cowboys, Raiders, Saints
Speaker 2: or Jags.
Speaker 1: Now that Balky's gone. I think the Jags because I
Speaker 1: still believe in Trevor and that division is so wide open.
Speaker 1: The Saints salary cap situation is a disaster. The Raiders
Speaker 1: the division is impossible, and the Cowboys you have to
Speaker 1: deal with Jerry's podcast, right, You gotta deal with a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff now you have right now. I get
Speaker 1: it Dack's better than Trevor, but I don't. I think
Speaker 1: Trevor has the higher upside and potential and you can
Speaker 1: actually install your own culture in Jacksonville. So I would
Speaker 1: rank them Jags, Cowboys, Saints, Raiders. The thing with the
Speaker 1: Saints is you need to have a legitimate, like six
Speaker 1: year runway. You need to make it clear next year
Speaker 1: and the year after we're cleaning up the cap and
Speaker 1: then in twenty twenty seven, we are going to try
Speaker 1: to start competing all right. By the way, before we
Speaker 1: get to our picks, this episode of What's Right is
Speaker 1: brought to you by DAYA Pizza featuring dairy free cheese

Speaker 1: to it. Uh. I'll let you go ahead and recap
Speaker 1: my picks for this weekend, because again I mean when
Speaker 1: I say hard to do better literally true, couldn't have
Speaker 1: done better? Go ahead.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of green here. So first off, you
Speaker 2: had a case you might have eight and a half
Speaker 2: versus Houston. I got a little close there.
Speaker 1: Let me say that one did get close, not because
Speaker 1: of the safety but because listen, they were up eleven
Speaker 1: and Houston's kicking a field goal and the Chiefs had
Speaker 1: to block it. But you know they've done that before
Speaker 1: in bigger spots. This also does speak to the importance
Speaker 1: of not of holding off. If you get the worst
Speaker 1: line imaginable. This thing was seven and a half and
Speaker 1: then eight and a half all week, and then an
Speaker 1: hour before kick moved to nine and a half. If
Speaker 1: you could have gotten it at seven and a half
Speaker 1: or eight and a half all week. You can't bet
Speaker 1: it at nine and a half unless there's like major
Speaker 1: injury news or something to do that. And the people
Speaker 1: that did better at nine and a half got killed.
Speaker 1: Now here's what I will say real quick on this
Speaker 1: to Monsey, there's another example of people not understanding how
Speaker 1: gambling works. People are like, oh, you tell me the
Speaker 1: fix is an end when it's a nine and a
Speaker 1: half point spread and they achieve self safety. The Chiefs
Speaker 1: winning by nine was the worst possible result for Vegas
Speaker 1: because they lost both directions the early Chiefs betters, which
Speaker 1: they had a ton of, which is why the line
Speaker 1: kept moving all one. You got the Chiefs seven and
Speaker 1: a half, eight, eight and a half, then it gets
Speaker 1: all the way up to nine and a half, and
Speaker 1: then people hammer the Texans and it finishes back at
Speaker 1: nine or eight and a half. So all the early
Speaker 1: betters won who took the Chiefs, that move the line
Speaker 1: up to nine and half, then all the late betters
Speaker 1: one who took the Texans when it was nine and
Speaker 1: a half. That was the worst possible result for Vegas.
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, all right, we can go back
Speaker 1: to the picks.
Speaker 2: You got Washington plus nine and a half at Detroit.
Speaker 2: You remember not covering any point.
Speaker 1: I was never not covering. But to be fair, that
Speaker 1: was the game that I said I had the hardest
Speaker 1: time picking, and that was the game that covered the
Speaker 1: easiest by far. Go ahead.
Speaker 2: So you got to push plus six at Philly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then you've got it.
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna win that outright, because yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought Stafford was gonna pull off the insane comeback.
Speaker 1: Now thanks to we do have to shout out Jake
Speaker 1: Elliott here that one. You know, yes Stafford could have
Speaker 1: come back, but also Jake Elliott missing a couple extra
Speaker 1: points was key. And the last one was Buffalo plus
Speaker 1: one and a half agins Baltimore for the record. All
Speaker 1: week long on TV, I said that line should be
Speaker 1: Buffalo minus two and a half their home. I thought
Speaker 1: they were slightly better, they had the more trustworthy quarterback,
Speaker 1: And I said that should be Buffalo or Baltimore part
Speaker 1: Buffalo minus two and a half. If it were, I
Speaker 1: probably still would have taken Buffalo. I would have lost,
Speaker 1: but Buffalo plus one and a half a winner. And
Speaker 1: am I the greatest TD genie guy? Ever. I mean
Speaker 1: you saw I hit it.
Speaker 2: Again, Kelsey plus it was mahomes only touchdown.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Mahomes only touchdown. I'll give you guys a
Speaker 1: touchdown genie for this weekend because I'm undefeated on it
Speaker 1: this year. Kareem Hunt, Kareem Hunt would I don't even
Speaker 1: know what the odds are. Kareem Hunt's gonna score a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Pacheco has not been the same since returning from the
Speaker 1: broken leg. Sf Ben, by the way, parlayed all our
Speaker 1: picks plus twelve hundred. Nice little win for him, and
Speaker 1: cream Hunt is plus one ninety. Oh love that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. Anytime touchdown, he'll get the.
Speaker 2: Goal line, Karns.
Speaker 1: So I'll lock that in, all right, Deman's first game.
Speaker 2: You've got Washington plus six. It's plus six and a
Speaker 2: half on FanDuel, but it's at minus one twenty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that right now, the consensus line
Speaker 1: seems to be plus six, and I'm no Danny Parkins
Speaker 1: where I'm just gonna line shop, line, shop, and then
Speaker 1: you know, try to say, oh, I got this great line.
Speaker 1: So I'll do plus six. I think Washington can win.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna hold off on making my official pick
Speaker 1: on that till tomorrow. I want to. I do really
Speaker 1: want to see an actual Eagles injury report, which we
Speaker 1: haven't gotten to see yet. But I think Washington can
Speaker 1: win this game. Demanse, and I think that even if
Speaker 1: the trailing you know, Jaden, the back door cover is
Speaker 1: going to be alive the whole time I now listen
Speaker 1: it is in play. I'm not going to act like
Speaker 1: this is it's you know, there is a game script
Speaker 1: that is Washington goes for an early fourth down like
Speaker 1: they did against Detroit, fails Philly you know, runs, Saquon
Speaker 1: goes and scores get to stop. All of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Phillysh them out. Then for the Commanders to win.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that I agree it's more likely,
Speaker 1: but a Philly blowout certainly wouldn't be shocking, so I
Speaker 1: would so I this there is some trepidation here, but
Speaker 1: I kind of trust Dan Quinn in game more than
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni and I well, no, I mean we didn't
Speaker 1: talk about it in the divisional game. I mean he
Speaker 1: made he had he had one of the worst game
Speaker 1: management games I've had ever seen. They butchered the end
Speaker 1: of the first half, got no points. Right after Jalen's
Speaker 1: knee bent the wrong way, he called a drop back
Speaker 1: into his own end zone and got safetied. And on
Speaker 1: second and seven truly called one of the second and
Speaker 1: seven three minutes left to try to make the Counference
Speaker 1: championship game with a first down. Honest to god, one
Speaker 1: of the worst play calls I've ever seen in the
Speaker 1: history of football. I'm gonna do a play action rollout
Speaker 1: with my injured quarterback, and now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's third and nineteen and Stafford's gonna get the ball back.
Speaker 1: Dan Listen, people like a Sirian. He's been to a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, so as Dan Quinn. Dan Quinn's also been
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl when he was with Atlanta win
Speaker 1: solo that now there have been five rookie quarterbacks played
Speaker 1: in this round. They're zero to five. I understand that
Speaker 1: it's Dieter brock Brock Purty, Mark Sanchez, Joe Flacco, and
Speaker 1: Sean King, and I all the trends in everything like
Speaker 1: Philadelphia here. I just think Washington can get them in
Speaker 1: a can play a shootout with these guys. I think
Speaker 1: Washington players shoot out with any time yes, well that's
Speaker 1: the other thing that they are. They are on a
Speaker 1: total free roll. And let so let me ask you
Speaker 1: this demanse before we move on. Obviously, I want the
Speaker 1: Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. Forget what the point
Speaker 1: spread would be. Who do you think the Chiefs should
Speaker 1: want to be playing Washington or Philly?
Speaker 2: I think that they shouldn't want to be playing Washington.
Speaker 2: But that kind of leads me into the question. I
Speaker 2: was going to ask you a question, but would you
Speaker 2: say that they would would you say they would rather
Speaker 2: the Eagles?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, but go ahead. So what if they
Speaker 2: did get What if they did get Washington? Me and
Speaker 2: the producers are actually talking about it. What if they
Speaker 2: get Washington and they beat Washington but the Chiefs three
Speaker 2: p and everybody just downplays it because they quarterback in
Speaker 2: the No, no.
Speaker 1: No, nobody will be able to down I thought you're
Speaker 1: gonna go the other way. Nobody can downplay a three pet.
Speaker 1: I mean people will try to be idiots. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, if.
Speaker 2: Jaydon Daniels wins this game, it's terrible scenario for you.
Speaker 1: Like I like, I get that part, but it's not
Speaker 1: it's not a terrible scenario for me at all. But
Speaker 1: if jayde and Daniels wins this game and then also
Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl, He's.
Speaker 2: The new Mahomes.
Speaker 1: It's it's Daniel's mountain at that point. Crazy, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it would be so almost unfathomable. But if people went
Speaker 1: into next year and they were like, obviously, Jaden Daniels
Speaker 1: is the best quarterback in the NFL, it would be
Speaker 1: I wouldn't agree, but it would be really hard to
Speaker 1: argue against. Like they just be like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: the guy, the guy's played one year and won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl as a rookie, and the defense wasn't that good,
Speaker 1: the running game's not that good, and then he beat
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the Super Bowl, Like that would be he
Speaker 1: would have a hell of Like if you had to
Speaker 1: write a scenario where Mahomes beats Josh Allen Lamar falls
Speaker 1: short again, Mahomes gets to the Super Bowl, and somehow
Speaker 1: is not universally considered the best player in the league,
Speaker 1: this scenario would be. Well, a guy in his first
Speaker 1: playoffs and first season ever has an unbelievable statistical year,
Speaker 1: carries a team no one believed in to the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and they win it, So you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that is yeah, but I just Philly. What
Speaker 1: would concern me about Philly is their ability to shrink
Speaker 1: the game by just running Saquon running Saquon, and you
Speaker 1: don't get as many bites at the Apple. But I'll
Speaker 1: take Washington plus six. My last pick is gonna be
Speaker 1: pretty obvious, Tomansey, I mean, this is noble.
Speaker 2: You got Kacy minus one and a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so listen. I think Trent McDuffie is gonna be
Speaker 1: following around Khalil Shakir and I think that will take
Speaker 1: him out of the game somewhat. I truly trust the
Speaker 1: Chiefs run defense, even though it wasn't great this past weekend.
Speaker 1: We have seen Travis Kelce in the first matchup between
Speaker 1: these teams, did nothing and both teams were without like
Speaker 1: four key guys. So call that a wash because both
Speaker 1: teams are way healthier. However, I'm not sure if Taylor
Speaker 1: Rapp is playing for Buffalo. He didn't practice yesterday and
Speaker 1: Christian Binford is still in concussion protocol. That's concerning Tron
Speaker 1: Johnson popped out his shoulder during the game, came back,
Speaker 1: but that injury it's he'll definitely play, but he absolutely
Speaker 1: is susceptible to reinjury. So that part's concerning the Now
Speaker 1: that Hollywood Brown is in the offense and Xavier Worthy
Speaker 1: understands the offense, teams can't simply double Kelsey and because
Speaker 1: of that, he's going to be able to eat in
Speaker 1: the middle of the field once again. Now the Chiefs
Speaker 1: stink against guarding tight ends, so Knox and Kincaid should
Speaker 1: probably do well. But I think the Chiefs don't make
Speaker 1: any mistakes as far as turning the ball over. I
Speaker 1: do not think the referees are a big piece of
Speaker 1: this game. And I'm getting Mahomes in the playoffs with
Speaker 1: less than a field goal Mahomes seven to zero against
Speaker 1: the spread and straight up when he's an underdog or
Speaker 1: favored by less than a field goal in the playoffs
Speaker 1: in home games November or later cold weather home games.
Speaker 1: Mahomes is twenty three and two, with the two losses
Speaker 1: being an insane Chargers game his first year as a
Speaker 1: starter and the AFC Championship game against Brady when he
Speaker 1: never got the ball in overtime, but the Chiefs didn't
Speaker 1: whine about it afterwards, and so Listen, I think enough demons.
Speaker 1: One of the most annoying, unimportant stats I've had to
Speaker 1: hear all year. As you know, three teams all year
Speaker 1: didn't score more than thirty points, the Raiders, the Patriots,
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. What's up with Why can't they put
Speaker 1: up a big number? They never scored thirty one all year?
Speaker 1: My score prediction here is thirty one twenty four Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I think they actually do hit that thirty one total
Speaker 1: for the first time all season. I think the offense
Speaker 1: looks way better than he did last week because the
Speaker 1: pass rush isn't as ferocious and it's ultimately the Chiefs
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the playoffs against Josh Allen and the Bills.
Speaker 1: No dispect to the Bills, who I think have had
Speaker 1: an unbelievable year, but they come up short once again.
Speaker 2: Go ahead game of the year, Definitely, it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a great game of Carlos I as soon. But Austin
Speaker 2: our says Nick for the Kansas City Buffalo matchup, how
Speaker 2: much does Kansas City being on an extra day and
Speaker 2: a half rest completing a part.
Speaker 1: I think it's a legitimate edge. Listen. I said that.
Speaker 1: I said that last week that Bill's Ravens being the
Speaker 1: marquee game and therefore getting the Sunday night treatment while
Speaker 1: the Chiefs be you know, the Mattinee on Saturday. I
Speaker 1: thought was really really good for Kansas City. Now Kansas
Speaker 1: City got out of that game fully healthy. H and
Speaker 1: they're the healthiest they've been all year. And buff Listen,
Speaker 1: Buffalo didn't suffer a ton of injuries. But Taylor, you
Speaker 1: always worry about cluster injuries. And Taylor rap is in
Speaker 1: the secondary. Tron Johnson is in the secondary, Christian Binford
Speaker 1: is in the secondary. And so that.
Speaker 2: To me, like as soon as yes, and so that
Speaker 2: that to me is a real concern.
Speaker 1: All right. Uh So the recaps very simple for seven
Speaker 1: to and one in the playoffs. I got Washington plus six,
Speaker 1: I got Case minus seven and a half. Demand's picks
Speaker 1: in the playoffs have not been as good. We don't
Speaker 1: really have to do it. Who cares? You're not in
Speaker 1: against the spread guy, You're a teaser guy.
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, we can't we can't say this. I'm
Speaker 2: all right, So, yeah, it's gotten to the playoffs and
Speaker 2: I am not against the spread guy. Might be a
Speaker 2: regular season yeah spread type of but yeah, because you
Speaker 2: were like the regular rainbow over here, and yeah, fell.
Speaker 1: A part in the playoffs, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson of the picking games.
Speaker 3: Uh one, Yeah, Houston, Houston plus eight and a half,
Speaker 3: that didn't hit, Washington plus nine and a half, money
Speaker 3: Rams plus six with the push, and then Baltimore minus
Speaker 3: one and a half because I was being a Homer.
Speaker 1: Tough one, more a teaser guy and never a doubt
Speaker 1: on it. Ye City covering the whole time, Washington governing
Speaker 1: the whole time, even the Rams at fourteen covering the
Speaker 1: whole time. Three teamer plus one and five. You gotta
Speaker 1: love it. Do you have a teaser for us this weekend?
Speaker 2: So it is a two I understand it's two teams.
Speaker 2: I'm teasing it. I can literally, Hey, two teams six
Speaker 2: and a half point at minus one forty three. We
Speaker 2: got Washington plus thirteen at Philly obviously, and then Buffalo
Speaker 2: plus eight at Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I mean that's if you're going I'll give that teaser
Speaker 1: a B. If you're going to tease either of these games,
Speaker 1: that's the direction you have to tease them, right.
Speaker 2: So exactly, That's why it just feels kind of feels
Speaker 2: weird because there's not a huge sample.
Speaker 1: I mean, and you don't want to teasing a six
Speaker 1: point Kansas City teaser makes no sense to where all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're going through.
Speaker 2: The zero four points. But what there being just two
Speaker 2: teams figure trying to go as least amount of plus
Speaker 2: I can juice up agree as much as possible.
Speaker 1: All right, what's the offer? Offer? The offer? This week?
Speaker 2: We cook this one up. Last night we got Washington
Speaker 2: Money Line with a James Cook anytime touchdown score comes
Speaker 2: out to plus seven oh eight.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing, if you like, I understand the
Speaker 1: argument there, which is James Cook's gonna score a touchdown
Speaker 1: and you're just trying to get, you know, way extra.
Speaker 2: Extra juice from Washington.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what here you switch it. I don't
Speaker 1: ever take the offer, but I'll take it Washington money
Speaker 1: Line and Kareem Hunt anytime touchdow Kareem Hunt and I'll
Speaker 1: take it, all right. And my guess is that'll be
Speaker 1: like ten to one because Kareem maybe even more. See
Speaker 1: you see if the producers while we read some of
Speaker 1: the listener questions, see if they can tell us in
Speaker 1: the doc what that would actually.
Speaker 2: Pay out plus eight point fifty seven as opposed to.
Speaker 1: Plus You like a little better odds, But that's fine.
Speaker 1: I'll Washington money line and Kareem Hunt touchdown. I'm good
Speaker 1: with that, all right, Demante, Let's go to these listener
Speaker 1: questions and reminder, by the way, like rate, subscribe, review,
Speaker 1: do all that fun stuff. We are getting closer to
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand on YouTube. That would be dope. We well,
Speaker 1: we're north the one seventy. Now, the goal was two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand by the super Bowl. I'll be on it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna fall short of that, but that's okay. Maybe
Speaker 1: we can get to one hundred and seventy five thousand
Speaker 1: by the super Bowl. That'd be great, all right, and
Speaker 1: subscribe on iTunes or Spotify wherever it is. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to.
Speaker 2: These I feel like it should be a rule if
Speaker 2: you're texting in the chat and we answer the question
Speaker 2: on the pod, you said a thousand percent be subscribed.
Speaker 1: Oh, I totally agree.
Speaker 2: Great, great take uh, Matt says, decorated my doors sign
Speaker 2: outside of my sixth grade classroom with in our villain
Speaker 2: era go chiefs and adult actively baiting her sixth grade
Speaker 2: student haters.
Speaker 1: Wow, I would I would just love to know what
Speaker 1: city that person's from, you know, because it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like Kansas City. But I love that all right.
Speaker 2: Next, WX says Nick. Do you see parallels and how
Speaker 2: the Eagles and Chiefs are covered after wins? It's never
Speaker 2: about the fact that they are good, but about how
Speaker 2: they didn't play exactly like people wanted them to.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the sure The difference is the Eagles do
Speaker 1: it to themselves and the Chiefs don't like the the nobody.
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, nobody was talking about the Eagles
Speaker 1: passing game. They were talking about Saquon trying to get
Speaker 1: two thousand yards or break break the record. AJ Brown
Speaker 1: kind of lit the fuse there, so a lot of
Speaker 1: it is AJ Brown or Nick Siriani kind of baiting
Speaker 1: the media almost so, But yes, I understand the point
Speaker 1: you're making, all right.
Speaker 2: Last one, uh Tasso asked if von Miller goes on
Speaker 2: to win his third Super Bowl with his third team,
Speaker 2: or will that put him in all in the all
Speaker 2: time best defensive players that of his discussion top.
