It was Okay. 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: We're gonna do our damn nest here to make this 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: podcast more entertaining than the two games that we just saw. 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: I feel almost as bad for the viewers as I 13 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: do for the very tall, very luxurious buildings in Las Vegas, 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: because I think I can see from here large fires. 15 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: I think I can see things crumbling to the ground 16 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: because both big favorites, both overs coming in not a 17 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 2: good day for our friends in the desert. 18 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: Okay, legitimately, number one, I thought there were actual fires, 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,279 Speaker 1: and I got nervous for a second when you started talking. 20 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: And second, I mean I agree that the Sunday as 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: a whole was not that exciting, except for the fact 22 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: that right before we started recording, Rich dropped like six 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: things on his soundboard and they were just random like 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: dollar signs, cash registered things going on there. You see, 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: he's got it all. He's got it all ready to go. Okay. 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: So if you thought like, oh man, that Sunday was 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: so boring from a betting perspective, it's all right, We're 28 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: gonna make it all okay. Now, like last week, we're 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: recording this on Sunday night, and immediately after the Sunday 30 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: night game last week. I need a little bit of 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: time just to break down what happened on that game 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: in this one. This game, the Packers forty nine Ers 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: game was over, I don't know, twenty minutes into it, 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: so we've had a lot of time to kind of 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: think on it. Still, the lines for the Super Bowl 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: have been up for about forty five seconds. For me, 37 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: that's when it's fun. We've got two weeks to dissect 38 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: this game. We're going to break down all the angles, 39 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: the player props, how long the national anthem is going 40 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: to be, all that stuff. But being able to see 41 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: how everything strikes us in the moment with today's games 42 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: fresh in our minds without much time to break it down. 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: That's when it's good. Sometimes your instant reaction turns out 44 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: to be the best. So, Richard, shall we dive right in. 45 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I've been grinding Demi Lovado National Anthem tape, getting 46 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: my hands on anything I can find for that problem. 47 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: This is the reason why we bring you back on 48 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: this podcast, rich But let's start with today's action. Chiefs 49 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: thirty five Titans twenty four. This game look like it 50 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: might go a bit differently here at the start, Titan 51 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: said leads of ten to nothing and seventeen to seven 52 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: in the end. The Chiefs offense just way too much. 53 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes throws for two hundred and ninety four yards 54 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: and three touchdowns, two to Tyreek Hill, won a gorgeous 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: sixty yard bomb to Sammy Watkins. He also runs into 56 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: score on a preposterous twenty seven yard run toward the 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: end of the first half. Everyone talks about how exciting 58 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: and dynamic Lamar Jacks and is, and he is, but 59 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, a healthy Patrick Mahomes is nearly as exciting. Meanwhile, 60 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense does the one thing that nobody's been 61 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: able to do, and I don't know, ten weeks and 62 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: that's bottle up. Derrick Henry just nineteen for sixty nine. 63 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: On the ground. Ryan Hannell does throw for two hundred 64 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: nine yards and two touchdowns, but without the ability to 65 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: move the ball with Henry effectively, those are just kind 66 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: of empty yards. So we'll get to the matchup with 67 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in a bit, but break down 68 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: this game for me. What were your general impressions. 69 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: So, yeah, this is healthy Patrick Mahomes and that's something 70 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: you brought up, and it's something that's really important, specifically 71 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: with that twenty plus yard touchdown run that concluded the 72 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: first half first time these two teams met. Mahomes is 73 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: coming off of a knee injury that's going to require 74 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: offseason surgery, although minor, if there is a such thing 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: as minor surgery, and he did not have a single 76 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: rushing attempt in that game. 77 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: I believe that was. 78 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: Only one of three games on the regular season that 79 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: he didn't have a rushing attempt. Still, even though he 80 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: was a statue, he dropped four to thirty three on 81 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: their heads on the road. And now we had a 82 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: fully healthy Patrick Mahomes and a fully dialed up Chiefs 83 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: offense that had eight yards per play and pretty much 84 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: did whatever they wanted to when they wanted to save 85 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: for that first drive, which is very mirrored almost perfectly 86 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: the start of last week bad drop by Kelsey. Things 87 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: get off slow, but then the Chiefs just start rolling. 88 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: I mean, is there any other time when a team 89 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: gets down multiple scores and you're just not concerned. That's 90 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: what makes this chief seem so dangerous and puts the 91 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: fear of God in you if you're holding a ticket 92 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: for the other team. There is no lead that's really 93 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 2: safe with these Kansas City Chiefs. 94 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: And let me ask you something, what side did you 95 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: have on this game? Both on the spread and the total. 96 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: So Chiefs minus seven and a half was my favorite 97 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: pick of the week. I didn't have much of a 98 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: lean on the total. On Gridiron Gamble, I gave out 99 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: a very unorthodox parlay for this week because I don't 100 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: know if you've noticed, but there's just been a war 101 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: on teasers from the books and you have to pay 102 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: up to like minus won forty minus won forty five 103 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 2: juice on some of these two team teasers. So I 104 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 2: gave out Chiefs minus seven and a half parlayed with 105 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: Niners money line at plus one sixty, I wasn't strong 106 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: enough to get Niners minus the seven and a half. 107 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: Ultimately they smashed and covered as well. But I thought 108 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: this Chiefs line should have been north of double digits. 109 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: This is a really bad matchup for Tennessee. 110 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I could see it, but I'll be honest, 111 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: I had bought in the other way. You know, I 112 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: thought what I was really most impressed by in this 113 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: whole thing, it's not the offense, because this is the offense. Now. 114 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: You you know, with Mahomes being you know, as close 115 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: to full health as he's going to get without surgery, 116 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: this is what the offense is going to be. They're 117 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: completely unstoppable at the moment, unless you know, maybe well 118 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens in the super Bowl with the 119 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: forty nine ers and their defense, but a defense like Tennessee's, 120 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: which is, you know, solid against the run but mediocre 121 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: against the pass, they really didn't have much of a chance. 122 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I kind of leaned towards 123 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: Tennessee getting more than the touchdown was because again I 124 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: thought that, you know, the team sort of the whole 125 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: whatever the phrase is, the hole is greater than some 126 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: of their parts. Oh yeah, for sure. 127 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, their output was greater than the some of its parts. 128 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: And that's a testament to how well Rabels coached this 129 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: team and how well they've performed in the playoffs. And 130 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: they were great matchups against I mean, styles make fights. 131 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: The NFL is such a week to week league, which 132 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: is why the Niners are so crazy. They can win 133 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: in so many different ways. But the Niners Week one 134 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: of the playoffs, they get really a dusty Patriots team 135 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 2: and really handle business on the road. Last week, you 136 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: talked about it, the run stopping ability the Titans, the 137 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: spine of their defense, whether Beach Reil Casey up front 138 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: or their linebackers and Jayon Brown and Rashaan Evans, and 139 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: then back in the safeties with Kenny Vacaro and Kevin Byer, 140 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 2: the spine of their defense is their strength. So that 141 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 2: was a terrible matchup for the Ravens. And then the 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 2: Evens go zero for seven basically in the turnover battle 143 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: if you include turnovers on downs. So they just really 144 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: had no shot in that game from hell. But then, yeah, 145 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: they come into a game that's against the Chiefs team 146 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: that's gonna stretch you horizontally with their passing a top, 147 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: not just vertically, and the Titan secondary just can't compete 148 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: with that. Who and who really who can in the NFL? 149 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna find out next week whether anybody really 150 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: are in two weeks where there anybody really can. Let 151 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: me ask you a couple of things on this game. 152 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: I mean, they bottle up Henry, which is something I 153 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: didn't think they had a chance to do, right. I mean, 154 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, to the extent the Chiefs defense has a strength, 155 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: it's against the pass, not necessarily the run. Henry had 156 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: been as unstoppable. You know, he had this stretch as 157 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: good as any running back had ever had over an 158 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: eight game stretch, nineteen for sixty nine. Do you think 159 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: that was more about Henry kind of finally finally wearing 160 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: down after getting you know, thirty plus carries for a 161 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: few weeks in a row and having all this work, 162 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: or do you think that, you know, the Chiefs defense 163 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: it's kind of rebattened, and you know, Chris Jones playing, 164 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: he was, you know, a game time call just kind 165 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: of up their entire defense or what which side was 166 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: it was more about the Chiefs defense or more about 167 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: Henry finally running at a gas do you think. 168 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: To be honest, I think it's more about the Titans 169 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: not being willing to be more aggressive and throwing the football. 170 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: It's really easy to scheme against the traditional run because 171 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: you can stack the box and just be very aggressive 172 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: up front. It's much more difficult when you have, let's say, 173 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: a running passer like Lamar, because you can't just scheme 174 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: for one thing. You have to contain on the edges 175 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: and then also be stout. 176 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: Up the middle. 177 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: But when you can put all these resources in the box, 178 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 2: and granted you're right, the Patriots and the Ravens didn't 179 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 2: have much success doing this, but there was one specific 180 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: time in this game, I believe it was a third 181 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: and short or fourth and short where the Chiefs Spagnoler 182 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: literally rolled out goal line defense at the forty nine 183 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: yard line and you just have to be able to 184 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 2: check to a slant there or some kind of pass 185 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: if you're an offense operating in twenty twenty. There's also 186 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: other opportunities where Ryan Tannehill is seeing single high and 187 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: he's got two guys on the left that can run 188 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: a combo slot fade something, and you're going to beat 189 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: both man and zone in a lot of those cases, 190 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: and the Titans just kind of turtled and kept running 191 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: the ball. This is why running the ball isn't sustainable 192 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: as a primary method of winning football games, because it's 193 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 2: just so much easier to scheme against. So I'm not 194 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: really going to fault Henry or even this offensive line. 195 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: I just think it's really really hard for running, especially 196 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 2: traditional running, to be your optimal output on offense. 197 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: All right, how about the slow starts? Okay, you know 198 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: you can right off last week against the Texans because 199 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: they're coming off the pie right, so you're sort of like, okay, 200 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: maybe you're not really ready for it. Texans, you know, 201 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: have a couple of really explosive plays and get out 202 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: to that huge lead before the Chiefs come roaring back. 203 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: This one, you know, it's not quite as dramatic, and 204 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: Tennessee doesn't have the offense to make it quite as dramatic. 205 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: But again, they fall down ten nothing, they fall down 206 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: seventeen to seven. And you can recover against the Texans, 207 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: who have a subpar defense. You can recover against the Titans, 208 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: who have a solid defense but not one that really 209 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, plays against your strengths and not the type 210 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: of team that's going to put up a ton of points. 211 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're going to be able to 212 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: survive having one of these slow starts against the Niners. 213 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,479 Speaker 1: What do you think is going on? Out of curiosity 214 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: with the fact that in both of these playoffs games 215 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have started really slow? I mean, is it coaching? 216 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: Is it just something where I don't know, it takes 217 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: a little while. And are they going to be able 218 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: to solve that when they go into the super Bowl 219 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: because they've got two weeks now, you know they're coming 220 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: off that buy. You know, against the Texans they were 221 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: really slow, and again it worries me a little bit 222 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: to see them slow out of the gate here. 223 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: This is slightly concerning too, because the Niners thrive in 224 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 2: positive game scripts, like when they can pin their ears 225 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: back on that defensive front and when they can just 226 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: get whoever is running the ball. Tonight, it was all 227 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: world Raheem Moster getting downhill. They're a very dangerous outfut 228 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: Mo Nwara on our podcast, one of his favorite bets 229 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: this weekend was literally, if anybody gets up two scores 230 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: live in this Packers Niners game. Just bet that team 231 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: because the Niners in negative script could be scary. We've 232 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 2: not really seen it yet, and we know what the 233 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: Niners aren't positive script. They just roll these teams over. 234 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: In terms of the why. Maybe it's just arrogance. Maybe 235 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: it's just playing at home, knowing your favorite, knowing you're 236 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: likely to get through to the next round. Hopefully it's 237 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: not a hangover thing, because then these two weeks will 238 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: play into that even more, and you cannot get off 239 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: to a slow start against the Niners on a neutral field. 240 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't been able to pinpoint it. I thought like, 241 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: all right, there's got to be something that's kind of 242 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: causing this, because it was really concerning to see them, 243 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: not necessarily for me as somebody who leaned both towards 244 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: the under and towards Tennessee in this game. So I 245 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: was like, great, all right, perfect, this is kind of 246 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: exactly how I saw this playing out. The Titans are 247 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: gonna be able to run down there. They're gonna have 248 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: enough on defense to kind of keep this game close 249 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: enough to cover the more than a touchdown spread. But 250 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: in the end, it's really a little strange, and it 251 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: does make me a little concerned as we get into 252 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But before we get there, let's talk 253 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: about the second game, which, again, you know, thirty five 254 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: twenty four, This game was probably mostly over in roughly 255 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: the third quarter. You get into this second game here 256 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: with the Niners thirty seven the Packers twenty, and this 257 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: game was over really early. Rogers did what he could 258 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: in the second half to make it a game, but 259 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: there was just no stopping the forty nine Ers offense 260 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: right now, or should I say as you talked about 261 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers running game, I mean I talked 262 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: about it with Adam Burke this week when we were 263 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: breaking down this week's games. There just didn't seem to 264 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: be a path for the Packers to win this game. 265 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: Like I tried to play this game out several different ways. 266 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: I could not find a way at all for the 267 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: Packers to win this game. Like you, I wasn't, you know, 268 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: jumping for joy about the seven and a half points 269 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: spread or wherever it was seven seven and a half. 270 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't, you know, jump all over that, because that's 271 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: a big number when you're in the championship week. Even 272 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: in the other game, it's a big number. But I 273 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: felt absolutely confident that the Niners were gonna win this 274 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: game because I just didn't see how it was possible 275 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: on either side of the ball that the Packers were 276 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: gonna have the upper hand, and they really didn't. The 277 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: final score not quite as bad as when these teams 278 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: met in Week twelve, but it might as well have 279 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: been Jimmy Garoppolo through eight passes, not completed through eight passes. 280 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: That is not the way the NFL is supposed to work. 281 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: As you mentioned earlier, all the rushing game for the Niners, 282 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: and specifically were he Moster because Tevin Coleman left with 283 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: a shoulder injury. I believe he was carted off, so 284 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if we have any details on that yet. 285 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: I have not seen any, but certainly he's got two 286 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: weeks to get ready for the Super Bowl, so unless 287 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: it's something really serious, hopefully he can make it back 288 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: for that game. Mostard has two hundred and twenty yards 289 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: rushing on twenty nine carries. Matt Brida meanwhile, you know, 290 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: used to think of this as a three headed attack, 291 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: just one carry for two yards. I don't know whether 292 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: or not he's still in the doghouse because of that. Fumble. 293 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: I didn't see any injury, whether or not it's that fumble, 294 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: whether it's just that they have two weeks so they 295 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: were just going to go with Mostart, But whatever it is, 296 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: Mostart was absolutely dynamic, and really it's all about the defense. 297 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers completed nearly eighty percent of his passes three 298 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six yards, but he turns it over 299 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: three times. And that's basically about as empty a line 300 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: as you can have. The Niners sack them three times 301 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: their secondary. When you have d Ford and you compare 302 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: him with Bosa and Armstead, and when you have Kwan 303 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: Alexander to stop the run and you have Tart back 304 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: it even at defense like the Chiefs. We're going to 305 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: get into that game. You know, we'll talk right now 306 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: just about the Niners. I mean, how good is this 307 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: Niners team right now? Talk to me about this game. 308 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: This game was over, you know, ten minutes in. 309 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: It's ridiculous when Kwan Alexander is a luxury item because 310 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: Drake Greenlaw is getting as much burned, if not more 311 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: than Kwan in that linebacking corps. We know Fred Warner's 312 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: been tremendous there, but Greenlaw is the guy that made 313 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: the tackle against Jacob Hollister to win the de vision. 314 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: He made a very massive tackle against Aaron Jones in 315 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: this game on a third and short whether Rogers tried 316 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: to throw out a quick flat pass there and Greenlaw 317 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: just ran it down and tackled him perfectly. So when 318 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 2: somebody like Kwan is a luxury item, things are certainly 319 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: getting get ugly. I was also fascinated that Richard Sherman, 320 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: who's traditionally a left cornerback, traveled to the right side 321 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: of the field a couple times in this game a 322 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: little gameplay there, which is a little fascinating. Specifically, I 323 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: saw stat going around that Rogers's QBR when throwing left 324 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: was I believe thirty first in the league and fourth 325 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: throwing right. So I really thought that they were just 326 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: going to keep Sherm right and offense right and make 327 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: Rogers throw to DeVante on the left hand side. But 328 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: they moved Sherm around, which was fascinating, and then Sheran 329 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: puts the jets on there to pad some stats and 330 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 2: get the interception at the end. Yeah, this Niners defense 331 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: is tremendous. They're tremendously coached by Robert Salah, and when 332 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: Kansas City takes the field on offense in the Super Bowl, 333 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: this will be iron on iron and it is going 334 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 2: to be fascinating to watch. 335 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I hate to say it, man, Like 336 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, we do this. We've got two games to 337 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: get through and then a super Bowl to talk about. 338 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: But there's just nothing to break down from this game, right, 339 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: I mean, in the end, the Niners were completely dominant. 340 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: Most people thought they were going to be completely dominant. 341 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: These two teams played again, like I don't know, six 342 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: weeks ago, it looked almost identical. So how about we 343 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: just move on? Are you good to that? Because we've 344 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: got a juicy, juicy Super Bowl coming up here, and 345 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: I think we really just need to break that down 346 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: and we can move on from this game. An amazing 347 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: effort by the Niners. But what do you think you 348 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: ready to go just to the Super Bowl? 349 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's do it. 350 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: Before we do, let's let me tell you about the 351 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: sponsor of today's show, bet MGM, and specifically the bet 352 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: MGM Sports App. With the BETMGM Sports App, you can 353 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: place the bet right from your phone.

This is what kind of everybody wanted 374 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: when we had the four teams left forty nine ers 375 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: versus Chiefs is certainly the most compelling matchup for the 376 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: consensus lines. Right now, I am seeing the Chiefs at 377 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: minus one and a half and the total hovering at 378 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: fifty two and a half. This is trending up. I 379 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: saw it at fifty one and a half at places 380 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: when it opened. I'm seeing it at fifty three in 381 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: some spots. But for our purposes, let's look at the 382 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: consensus line with fifty two and a half. Last time 383 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: these two teams met Jimmy Garoppolo towards ACL, So let's 384 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: hope this one turns out differently. Why don't you just 385 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: go ahead and give your early impressions of it and 386 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: we can have some back and forth. 387 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 2: I think the line's really fair, really sharp. I guess 388 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 2: it would come out around Chiefs minus one to half 389 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: point heavier. I could see it going as high as two. 390 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 2: This is the most interesting book making game for me 391 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 2: because it differs so much from every other NFL game, 392 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: even including Championship Weekend. Because the amount of volume in 393 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: normal people betting in this game is going to make 394 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 2: it so that Vegas or whoever is your bookmaker if 395 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 2: you're in an eligible territory. Now, now that we're finally 396 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 2: breaking down some laws. They can make money just off 397 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: of volume alone and charging Viigan this game when normally 398 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: and they don't take very large positions. But normally a 399 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: lot of these books tend to have an opinion on 400 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 2: the game, and mainly that's just because the market is 401 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: usually so heavy on one side that they can't control 402 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: the fact that there's going to be more money on 403 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 2: a certain side. But with these two teams, and with 404 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: this line being short of a field goal, I think 405 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: action is going to be very evenly split. And I 406 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: think our friends in the desert will be able to 407 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 2: lick their wounds after this championship weekend and just kind 408 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: of make money off of the big So at this 409 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 2: time I have the slightest of leans for Kansas City, 410 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: and I actually kind of think this total is really low, 411 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: and that's a total fish opinion, but I think that 412 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: normally good offense is going to beat good defense. So 413 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: I think Kansas It is going to be able to 414 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: set the pace in this game, even if they get 415 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: behind early. I'm not as afraid of the Niners clamping down, 416 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: even Rogers. We saw Rogers faint a comeback just now, 417 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: scoring some garbage time points, throwing to Davante Adams, and 418 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 2: then something Lizards, something Kumero. That other tight end eighty 419 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 2: seven name is escaping me. But these casuals like practice 420 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 2: squad guys. So I think the Chiefs will be able 421 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: to set the pace and score some points in this game, 422 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: and the Niners can do it in a multiple multitude 423 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: of ways. So slightly on the Chiefs at that number. 424 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: But I do like the over which makes me feel 425 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: like a complete fish. 426 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I really think that I have like six things 427 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: that I want to respond to with what you said. 428 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: None of it is wrong, by the way. First of all, 429 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: Jay Sternberger, I think is the tight end that you're 430 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: looking for. And frankly, you know, the one thing I 431 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: think we probably should say throughout this thing is it's 432 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: pretty amazing that the Packers, you know, I get that 433 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: their point differential wasn't great, but it's pretty amazing that 434 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: they were able to do what they were able to 435 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: do with you know, an okay defense, nothing crazy. They 436 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: could be beaten on the ground and legitimately one pass catcher, right, 437 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean, Devonte Adams. Alan Lazard was your number two 438 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: and he is not a number two wide receiver and 439 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: the corpse of Jimmy Graham was your number three. It 440 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: just was not happening. So the fact that they made 441 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: it this far is pretty awesome to see. And you know, 442 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: I love Rogers and I hope he gets one more 443 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: shot at it. Now going to this game, let's talk 444 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: about a couple of things. Just let's take a step back, 445 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: just for our listeners in case they're not quite as 446 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: sort of sharp or understanding of the betting universe. What 447 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: you've said is I think absolutely correct, particularly with this line, 448 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: but generally in the Super Bowl. There's so much volume 449 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: on this game that Vegas and we'll just call it Vegas, 450 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: but any sportsbook. I like your lowering talk, by the way, 451 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: where you tried to be very careful about who can 452 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: bet and who can't very good in this game. The 453 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: volume is so much that bookmakers are going to be 454 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: able to come out ahead just by the viig. But 455 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: that is not I think there's a misconception by the way, 456 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: that that is the way that you know betting works, 457 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: and that really all that bookmakers want is even action 458 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: on both sides so that they can just make money 459 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: off the big That's not really the case. Generally speaking, 460 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean, sure, if that happens, that's fine, that's great, 461 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: they'll do it. But generally speaking, bookmakers are fine to 462 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: take a side. Bookmakers are fine right to say, this 463 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: is where we're gonna have liability, and we are okay 464 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: with that. So in this game, you know, the point 465 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: you bright up brought up, I think is a great one, 466 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: which is the fact that in this game, the side 467 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. This line is sort of perfectly said. 468 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: I completely agree. I really have no strong lean on 469 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: this game myself, and basically all you and I have 470 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: done this entire year is break down every single game. 471 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: So the fact that we're looking at this like I don't. 472 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: Know whatever, yeah, pretty much right. 473 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it's gonna be, and that's what 474 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: the public's gonna be. So I think that's good. The 475 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: second thing is that again you talked about the over, 476 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: and I agree with you. I mean, wherever it is 477 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: right now, let's call it fifty two and a half, 478 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: it's not ending at fifty two and a half, because 479 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: you know, guys like us I have been on the 480 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: under in the last two Chiefs games. And I think 481 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: there were a couple of things number one. I think 482 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: I was not giving full credit to how much Mahomes 483 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: has completely gotten over you know, his his ailment and 484 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: how much he looks one hundred percent because they really 485 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: are a completely different offense when that happens, because remember, 486 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: towards the end of the season, they've gotten under a 487 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: whole bunch. So, you know, and both these teams are 488 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: brilliant offensively. Okay, I get it that sometimes Jimmy Garoppolo 489 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: just doesn't throw because they can just run. But you know, 490 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: you've got two of the most brilliant offensive minds coaching 491 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: both teams. And the thing is that, generally speaking, public's 492 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: love overs, right, the general sort of you know this 493 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: is a huge generality, but the public love's overs and 494 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: you know, the sharp play more often than not is 495 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: the under because public betters, You're like, oh, they're going 496 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: to score, they're going to do a lot of stuff 497 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: they want to go over. So the fact that you 498 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: and I are again both looking at this game and 499 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: being like, oh, yeah, this is going over if for Noah, 500 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: the reason this is just not gonna be a defensive struggle, 501 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: Like there's just no way not With how well these 502 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: two coaches can can devise a game plan on offense 503 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: when they have two weeks to prepare. And remember, the 504 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs are third in offensive DVOA and that's including a 505 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: lot of the time when Mahomes was hurt. The Niners 506 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: are seventh. The Chiefs are fifth in the league. In 507 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: points per game, the Niners are second, the Chiefs are six, 508 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: and yards per game the Niners are fourth. The big 509 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: thing though, again, and this is really what we need 510 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: to talk about necessarily, is you know, putting aside the 511 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: whole back door over like basically what you had here. 512 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: You know that this game which was done that the 513 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: Packers couldn't do anything offensively whatsoever, winds up at fifty 514 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,239 Speaker 1: seven points, right because in the end the Niners are 515 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: just kind of sitting back and saying whatever. Putting that aside, 516 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: Is there any chance, I mean, I just want to 517 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: talk through this. The Niners are second in defensive DVOA. Okay, 518 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: they they're at full strength right now. They're gonna be rested, 519 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna be ready to go. Is there any chance 520 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: that they can come out and shut down Patrick Mahomes 521 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs? 522 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 2: Well, I think we just have to define what shutdown 523 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: means I think they can make it tough for the Chiefs. Sure, 524 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,959 Speaker 2: I think that's a reality. But I just think that 525 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: the way that the rules legislate the ability to throw 526 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: the ball, whether it be things like defensive holding or 527 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: pass interference, that late pass interference to the Chiefs a 528 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 2: little bit of a ticki tac call, But by the 529 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 2: letter of the law, you cannot interfere with an offensive 530 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: player's ability to get to the ball if your head 531 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: has not turned the entire time when you're competing. 532 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: For the ball. 533 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 2: So I just I really truly believe that good offense 534 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: is always going to beat good defense, or at least 535 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 2: have success. Maybe beat just not the right operational term 536 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: to use there. And even if the Niners, who have 537 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: a great defense, are able to limit the Chiefs, I 538 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 2: still think they're like a walking twenty one points at 539 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: a stone minute. I mean, let you brought up a 540 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: really good point about the Niners too. The Niners can score. 541 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: There were ninety four points scored in their game against 542 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 2: the Saints, so they can shoot out. I just I 543 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: just I just like you. You put it perfectly. Two 544 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: great offensive minds, and there are certainly even though the 545 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: Niners are stout, there's still deficiencies there to be taken 546 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 2: advantage of. And just the way the Chiefs spreads you horizontally, 547 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 2: somebody's gonna be open and Mahomes is gonna make that 548 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: throw and just hopefully Kelsey and Tyreek Hill can can 549 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: hold on to it. 550 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I completely agree. I'm just trying to 551 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: basically see, like, is there anyway I don't see it 552 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: at this point. I abstinine injury. I don't see how 553 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: you can stop Mahomes, especially, you know, just for another reason. 554 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: Then again, even if he gets rushed by you know, 555 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: all the guys up front, he's so fast and he's 556 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: so brilliant with his legs as well, now that he's 557 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: basically fully healthy, that he's gonna be able to get 558 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: things done regardless. It really is some thing where again, 559 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: I don't you know, they scored thirty seven points in 560 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: this game and they didn't throw whatsoever. So I don't 561 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: really think that the public is going to be like, well, 562 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: the Niners aren't that good offensively. And I get it, 563 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: Jimmy g doesn't always look like he's in complete control. 564 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: He certainly looks like the type of guy who in 565 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: a spot he could fold. You know, it's possible, but 566 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: I really don't see it happening. In my opinion, whichever 567 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: side you like in this game, I wouldn't worry about 568 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: like running in to get it now, right. I mean, 569 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: if you're like, man, I really like the Chiefs right now, 570 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: I really think it's good. The line's not going to three. 571 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, in my opinion, this is going 572 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: to stay right where it is, maybe one and a half. 573 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: I bet the public is probably going to come in. 574 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be pretty split generally speaking to 575 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: the extent the number of bets is probably going to 576 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: favor the Chiefs, and I think the money again is 577 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: probably going to be split roughly right down the middle. 578 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: But in my opinion, if you like this total, rich 579 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: you like over on this total? Is that correct at 580 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: fifty two and a half? Yeah, I gotta say yes, 581 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: I do as well, and the public probably does too. 582 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: Go hammer it right now, because that is something that's 583 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: gonna that is going up by It's gonna be fifty 584 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: four by the time the game hits. I wouldn't be 585 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: surprised it's fifty five, because that is something where bookmakers 586 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: are not gonna be able to get both sides of it, okay, 587 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: because I think even the sharp betters at this point 588 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: are not gonna look at this and be like, well, 589 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: of course this is gonna go under. I mean, the 590 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs just have too many weapons to be able to 591 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: think like, well, you know, Richard Sherman could take care 592 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: of one. I mean, given the fact that it's Kelsey 593 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: and Tyreek Hill's pure speed. And again, it was good 594 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: to see Sammy Watkins remind everybody that he is a 595 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: legitimate player and he can show up when they really 596 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: need to. And again, Damian Williams didn't do a ton 597 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: on the ground today, but he is there and he's 598 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: good out of the backfield. So I think we both 599 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: see this game, you know, almost identically. I might lean 600 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: slightly towards the Niners on the spread. I don't have 601 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: a strong feel for it either way, and it sounds 602 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: like you don't really either, but you slightly lean towards 603 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Is that right? 604 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think the game line might just be more 605 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: about in game betting. Again, if you're in a territory 606 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: that not only allowed is this, but offers this option, 607 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: you might have a chance to get on whoever falls 608 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 2: down in this game, or maybe we're afraid of the 609 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: Niners and negative script again. So if it's the scenario, 610 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 2: it's really only one way. If the Niners get ahead, 611 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: maybe we're only going to have an opportunity to bet 612 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: on the Chiefs. I have to put a little more 613 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: thought into that, I will say so. Instead of just 614 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: you and I both gushing over the over, let me 615 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: get a Narrativeville real quick. What if both these teams 616 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: are just tight to start the game. Is that something 617 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: that could happen. We've got two quarterbacks starting in the 618 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 2: Super Bowl for the first time, maybe a little nervy 619 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 2: in the first quarter. Maybe Kyle Shanahan seeing signs of 620 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: twenty eight to three flashing in front of him and 621 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 2: that absolutely epic collapse of the Falcons when he was 622 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. Maybe that's what happens. Or it is South 623 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: Florida hard rock, I believe has an opening if we 624 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: get a South Florida rainstorm. It rained for the Colts 625 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 2: Bear Super Bowl last time we were in Miami. 626 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: That's right, No, it did. That's certainly a possibility. The 627 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: getting tight thing, Yeah, man, I'm stretching. I'm really stretching. 628 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm stretching to find something to talk about something. No, no, no, Look, 629 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: it's certainly possible. And again you do have this, you 630 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: know thing where the last two games, in their two 631 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: playoff games, the Chiefs have started really really slowly, and 632 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: the Niners defense might be good enough. I don't think 633 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: any defense is really good enough, but they might be 634 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: good enough to not just be like, oh, you started slowly, well, good, 635 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 1: now you're going to just be able to put up 636 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, fifty points on us like you can do 637 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: on every other team. They might be too good to 638 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: allow that to happen. So it's certainly possible. And again, 639 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: the one thing the Chiefs did, you know, and you 640 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: talked about it the fact that you just don't think 641 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: a team is going to be able to consistently run 642 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: the ball quite as much as the Titans were doing. 643 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: But again, you know, Baltimore had eight guys in the 644 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: box for like two thirds of Henry's runs, okay, and 645 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: he was still just going through them. I mean, I 646 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: think it was pretty impressive the way they were able 647 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: to take him down. And I get that, you know, 648 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: but the thing is, you know, you saw every time 649 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: ten I went back to pass. It wasn't like guys 650 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: were wide open or anything like that. You know, the 651 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: corners we were, you know, on Brown and they were 652 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: on Corey Davis. They were taking care of it. So 653 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: you know their defense is solid as well. So to 654 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: the extent both defensive step up. Sure, it's possible, but man, 655 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: even if they're tight, that's not gonna be forever. You know, 656 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: they're not gonna they're not they they You might you 657 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: might get a first quarter under. Okay, I'll give you 658 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,959 Speaker 1: that one, but for me, I don't know. Man, as 659 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: soon as we're done with this, I'm gonna go pound 660 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: the over you know, a couple of times. But you know, again, 661 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: I've been I've been off on my chiefs over unders 662 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks. So take that with 663 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: a grain of salt. But I like your style. And again, 664 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: we'll monitor the weather reports. If it's gonna be a monsoon. 665 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: You know, we talked to Kevin Roth a couple of 666 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and certainly you know that's something that that 667 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: could make a difference if that's what happens it is Florida. 668 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: But in the end, man, absent that I just I 669 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: don't see it. 670 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: I hurts, Yeah, it hurts to like be over, really 671 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: it physically, I'm in pain staring at this number and 672 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 2: thinking that it's gonna go over. 673 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: I've literally just been under for like four weeks NonStop, 674 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: and that worked real well early on, right in the 675 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: wild card round, and you know it was everything was under. 676 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: But you know, suddenly that's a terrible bet. But whatever, man, 677 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,959 Speaker 1: we'll be square, and it's the super Bowl. We'll have 678 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: eight thousand prop bets and either way, just go listen 679 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: to some Demi Levado and then you can really get 680 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: in there right on the length of the national anthem. 681 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: So all right, but that's gonna do it for today's show. Rich, 682 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: it was really great talking to you again.

Probably don't tempt me. 686 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 2: The Titans really reminded me of the nine ten Jets 687 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 2: today exactly. Lot of balls bounced their way the first 688 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 2: two rounds, a lot of good matchups, but then you 689 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 2: get one game away and then life just smacks you 690 00:32:59,120 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 2: right in the face. 691 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: Well when the time comes and I'm sure will.
