00:00The race for the AFC is top seed and again, three games left as well.
00:07If we're looking right now on the odds market at the FanBlue Sportsbook for the AFC to claim
00:12that spot and win the AFC championship, the Buffalo Bills at a plus 200 price to win the
00:17AFC.
00:18Kansas City plus 240, the Ravens at plus 390.
00:21Then we have that little shelf there before we get to 11-1, the Houston Texans.
00:25But let's put our focus here on the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:27If the season ended today, they would be the number one overall seed, 13-1 record.
00:32And if we're looking at their final three games, tough as they get too, Dubsy.
00:36You look at those games they're going to play, Houston at home, then at Pittsburgh and at
00:40Denver.
00:41Houston, yes, they won their division.
00:44They probably can't move up all that far in the seating at this point, but there's still
00:48three games left to play.
00:49You're getting their best punch.
00:51Then you see the following week here at the Pittsburgh Steelers, they're fighting for
00:54their lives.
00:55You're in their division.
00:57You're going to get their best punch.
00:58And the final game of the season, the anticipation of the Denver Broncos still needed to win
01:02that game to stay in the playoff race.
01:04You're going to get their best punch.
01:05And also, Patrick Mahomes with that high ankle sprain, that doesn't heal itself overnight.
01:11And even if he does play, a chance to re-injure, no doubt about it.
01:14The Kansas City Chiefs for you, Dubsy.
01:17What are we thinking?
01:18Look, they're the reigning champs, two-time champs, they're going to make it three in
01:23a row.
01:24There's certain metrics and stats that we just really can't put a measure on, but they
01:29do have the intangibles.
01:30And for Patrick Mahomes playing banged up, I guess what separates Patrick Mahomes, not
01:34just that elite quarterback play that we see week in, week out, is that he's such a smart
01:39footballer.
01:40If he were to be a go-go against the Texans this weekend, I think he's really savvy in
01:44protecting his body and he certainly will try and keep himself out of harm's way.
01:48But I think it's a really tough matchup, whether he's going to play or not for the Chiefs going
01:53against the Texans, who are looking better and better.
01:55You highlighted going into Pittsburgh the week after this one, that gets a little tougher
02:01in the Broncos with everything on the line to close out the regular season.
02:06This is a tough spot.
02:07So I think if you're looking to buy in on the Kansas City Chiefs and trying to pick
02:11up another Lombardi, I'd maybe wait a couple of weeks, Donnie.
02:14I think they're going to drop at least one of the next two here and you're going to get
02:18a bit of a buy-low spot.
02:21This is a team that they don't need to figure it out.
02:24They know exactly what they bring to the table and they haven't been chasing stuff in the
02:28stat sheet.
02:29They just do enough to get that result.
02:31I think they've only had one win for more than a 10-point margin.
02:35So it's been a matter of winning the arm wrestle, winning the rock fight, and that's what's
02:39going to win playoff football games.
02:42So look, the Kansas City Chiefs, a really tough ending here for the regular season.
02:47I think they're going to drop one, maybe even two of the next three.
02:50Patti Mahomes playing a little banged up.
02:52I'd give him a chance, Donnie.
02:53I'd tell him, take it easy.
02:55We really don't need you in the mix for this one, but we need you back at full health going
03:00against the Steelers and trying to pick up a bit of momentum.
03:02So they're still the team for me.
03:04They're still right in the mix.
03:05But a couple of question marks at the pointy end of the season.
