00:00The Chiefs, when they need it, they got it, and that's exactly how it played out against

00:07the Bucs, though, as always, they didn't cover.

00:11So here we are again, Donnie, Kansas City's laying over a touchdown, money line, seven

00:17points or less, though, what do you think?

00:18They sneak it in right there, nine and a half is that opening number to look ahead down

00:21to seven and a half, and rightfully so, because that's Kansas City Chiefs football.

00:24I think one of the best, like, tweets I've ever seen was, boy, Kansas City plays every

00:28single game the exact same way.

00:30Do we need to score on this drive?

00:31Nah, let's not score.

00:32Do we have to score on this drive?

00:33Of course, five plays, 62 yards and a touchdown, no big deal.

00:36We do the two-pointer version?

00:37Yeah, let's get that, too.

00:38It just seems like that plays out.

00:40Now, it's a divisional game, it is a rivalry, but I gotta tell you, you're not supposed

00:43to have the eyescape for this game and say, hey, last week, Denver, or two weeks ago,

00:48Denver really fought hard against the Baltimore Ravens.

00:51They got beat so soundly by a good football team, and it's been a long time coming, because

00:56we were trying to believe if Denver was a legitimate playoff contender, or maybe even

01:00a legitimate, hey, you know what, we can catch you on a bad day and beat a really good football

01:03team.

01:04They got beat so bad, it's actually scaring me off going back to the Broncos.

01:07Bo Nix, rookie quarterback, on the road.

01:09But Kevin, again, I'll just throw it back to you quickly here.

01:12Is it just Kansas City's MO where you just say, what's the line?

01:15Six and a half?

01:16Okay, I can buy into that.

01:17What's the line?

01:18Seven and a half?

01:19Get out of town, there's no shot.

01:20Yeah, I don't know if I, man, it'll be a long time before I show up to one of these shows

01:24letting you know I'm lying over a touchdown with Kansas City.

01:28With that said, I actually do lean that way.

01:31I think watching that Baltimore thrashing, I mean, the fact is, we're watching Kansas

01:36City lay less, not by a lot, not by, you know, but less than we saw the Ravens do within

01:42that game.

01:43I stepped up here, though, and something that both you and I wanted to bet on Monday, but

01:48the number then moved a little too far when the weather cleared up, Pat Mahomes over one

01:52and a half passing touchdowns, lost money today.

01:55I think he's chasing the MVP because one of the big lies told by the people who backed

01:59this Chiefs team in the other, you know, media circles is that they don't care about style

02:05points.

02:06That is such a lie.

02:07Mahomes is so furious that he probably won't win MVP, but if he keeps winning games and

02:11keeps tossing touchdowns, he's got a legit shot, two straight games of two plus touchdowns.

02:16The Ravens just threw three against them.

02:18You saw actually Bryce Young in garbage time, get two up on this Broncos defense as well

02:23at a plus price.

02:24Joe, I'm looking for Mahomes to toss too.

02:26That's a good look.

02:27I really like Kansas City.

02:29I think they get, they get smashed the Broncos back to back weeks on the road and the teams

02:33that they have beaten guys, Carolina, the Saints, the Jets earlier in the year, pathetic

02:38offenses at that point, right?

02:40The teams that typically challenge the Chiefs and cover numbers, veteran or above average

02:46quarterbacks, right?

02:47Burrow, Baker, Mayfield, even Gardner Minshew, a veteran.

02:50I don't think Bo Nitz is going to challenge this defense over the top.

02:53He put up 223 last week, but again, they're going to have to run the football.

02:57It was ineffective last week, even though they rushed for 4.1 yards for carry, a lot

03:02came in garbage time against the Ravens.

03:04I think they shut down Javante Williams, forced him into long third downs.

03:08I don't know if we get to the total because I don't know if Sean Payton wants to play

03:12a higher scoring game to open it up.

03:15So that's why I like the Chiefs, but I'll go on to the total.

03:17I think they get absolutely abused today.

03:20Double digit win.

03:21But I do think I would lean more towards the over.

03:22The one thing we do know about Sean Payton is I think he's just going to throw it right

03:25like he can't.

03:26I don't think the game plan is to have Bo Nitz throw 22 times and see if he can stay

03:29into it.

03:30I just think he's opening up the playbook entirely all the way through.

03:32But the question mark always comes.

03:34Which side are you going to bet?

03:35Is it the Kansas City Chiefs team that goes, yes, did you see what the Ravens did to them?

03:38We can do the same thing.

03:39And to Kevin's point, sooner than later, you're in that MDP race and you're undefeated.

03:43You're like, okay, I'm used to throwing at least two touchdown passes a week.

03:45I'm not just going to slow play this thing.

03:47So I actually would lean towards the over because I think Denver is susceptible on defense,

03:51but I do think they'll chuck it, Joe, on offense.
