00:02 We go Sunday night football at the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.

00:07 It's the Packers who have won two straight games as a six point home

00:10 underdog against the Kansas City Chiefs in over under at 42 and a half.

00:16 Donnie, the line earlier this week, six and a half.

00:18 That hook has been taken off now at that flat number of six.

00:22 The Chiefs have been a favorite in all 11 games.

00:25 And unlike years past, Kansas City is covering at a pretty good clip.

00:29 They're seven and four against the number as a favorite this year.

00:33 >> Yeah, needed a wake up game and they got one against the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:35 Took the loss, had to recalibrate and even stepped into a game against

00:38 the Las Vegas Raiders and got down 14 nothing right away.

00:41 Showed their metal and gumption.

00:42 I'm like, you know what, let's finally try to kick start our 2023 NFL season and

00:46 I believe they did that.

00:47 I'm actually kind of surprised though to see this lumber so strong.

00:50 Kansas City is a minus six point favorite at home against the Packers.

00:53 I go, yeah, that sounds about right.

00:55 But minus six on the road against the Green Bay Packers.

00:57 And also keep in mind, the Packers have been playing much,

01:00 much better on offense over the past few weeks as they did to open up the NFL season.

01:04 But also if you're taking into account the running back positions,

01:07 really banged up in the room there for the Green Bay Packers.

01:10 Dylan, I know returned back to practice.

01:12 Doesn't look like Jones is probably gonna give it a go this weekend.

01:14 And that's not a bad thing.

01:15 They've been dealing with these injuries for the past couple weeks and

01:17 Jordan Love has really stepped up to the plate.

01:20 So, you know guys, I'm a legitimate NFL quarterback.

01:22 Now it's my time.

01:23 I'm finally getting the field down.

01:24 Let me spin it in the pocket.

01:25 Matt LaFleur has been letting him do that.

01:27 Having said that, I still do think going into Green Bay,

01:30 it's a little bit of a challenge here.

01:31 Cooler conditions, 32 degrees at kickoff, no precipitation, light winds here.

01:35 Should be just fine for passing and Patrick Mahomes.

01:37 He's got another nice number, Ben, in the mid 250s here that I think he gets over.

01:42 And also, maybe we're seeing some of these younger wide receivers like Rasheed Rice go from,

01:46 hey, look, I'm priced at 25 and a half yards.

01:49 Now I'm priced at 30 yards, 35 and a half, 40 yards.

01:52 Maybe he is the go-to guy to take some of that relief efforts away from Travis Kelso.

01:56 It's like, hey, Travis, if you're not open, we can't move the football.

01:59 I like what I see, or should I say, I like what I saw last week from the Vegas Raiders game

02:03 with the offense for the Kansas City Chiefs.

02:05 And also, as I said, the Green Bay Packers, they're going to be able to score in this game.

02:08 I like the Chiefs' defense, but the Packers no longer one of those teams that look like,

02:11 ah, unbettable and like a team total line.

02:13 They're legit now.
