00:00All right, so the odds of the Fandul Sportsbook, Vinny, have shifted a lot because of this
00:06Mahomes injury.
00:07Right now, Kansas City, they're still a heavy favorite to be the number one seed in the
00:11AFC at minus 195, but this was much, much higher going into the game yesterday.
00:17But now with the injury to Mahomes, I guess there's some suspicion that if he doesn't
00:20play this week and he doesn't play on Christmas Day, maybe, yeah, maybe there's a chance that
00:29the Chiefs let this slip away to the Buffalo Bills, which was unthinkable a week ago.
00:33Yeah, this is a bit of a conundrum because they're just having enough of a cushion, two
00:39games, but they also lost the game to the Bills.
00:41So if the Bills and Chiefs end up with the same record, the Bills are going to have the
00:45number one seed.
00:46So that's a little bit of a problem here, and so is the schedule of games, right?
00:50You have Saturday against the Texans, you've got to turn around and play Wednesday against
00:54the Steelers, and then you have a pretty tricky ending game as well if the Broncos are still
00:58fighting for a playoff spot.
01:00So these are not three gimme games, at least the next two are in Kansas City, which helps.
01:06So you have to weigh, do you want to get Mahomes' rest now?
01:09I think the ideal situation is somehow win games with Carson Wentz, and you get the bye
01:15week, and you're rested Patrick Mahomes beyond that.
01:18So I don't know, it really comes down to, do the Chiefs feel confident about playing
01:23Mahomes in a span of four days, Saturday to Wednesday, is that a good thing for him going
01:28forward?
01:29So the bigger picture is just having him healthy.
01:31So they're in a little bit of a conundrum, and I've seen some early lines favoring the
01:35Texans, so maybe there's some things that Vegas knows about, maybe Mahomes not playing
01:41this week.
