00:00Uh, let me just go through this with you, Gabe, uh, Kansas city's already in Pittsburgh's

00:07already in the Ravens can clinch if they win, uh, or tie against the sealer Saturday, Denver,

00:15it can clinch with a winner, a tie or a Dolphins loss or a tie, uh, and a Bengals loss or a

00:22tie and a Colts loss or a tie.

00:24That's just ridiculous.

00:25Uh, the chargers can clinch with a win and a Dolphins loss or tie and a Colts loss or

00:30tie.

00:31And then in the NFC, all that matters is the commanders, the commanders clinch a playoff

00:37berth with a win and a founder's loss or tie and a Rams loss or tie.

00:42That's too complicated for me.

00:44So this boils down to, uh, Baltimore and Denver, uh, Denver plays the chargers Thursday, the

00:51Ravens play the sealer Saturday.

00:53What do you think of those games?

00:55There's really no drama left in the AFC, to be honest with you and all that we all know,

00:59every team is in the playoffs right now in the AFC, you're going to make the playoffs.

01:03All right.

01:04I guess with the exception of if the chargers completely collapsed and lost every game and

01:10the Bengals won out, uh, somehow, but you know, you figure the chargers have another

01:15win in them.

01:16So really it's just about playoff seating, uh, right now.

01:20And if you're look, if you're Buffalo, you're probably going to end up with the second seed.

01:25I don't think Kansas city are going to stumble that much, but let's just say you get the

01:29second seed.

01:30So essentially Denver and, and the chargers, Scott are playing not to play Buffalo and

01:37to play Pittsburgh.

01:38Yeah.

01:39I'll play Pittsburgh right now.

01:40Yeah.

01:41That's the gist of it.

01:42And you know, the Pittsburgh Steelers wouldn't be easy going to the Pittsburgh to play them,

01:46but at least, you know, they're not going to hang 38 on you automatically.

01:49Like Buffalo will, right?

01:51So that's really what it comes down to.

01:54The NFC is more interesting.

01:56The NFC is still, you know, Tampa, listen, Atlanta are brutal and I don't see how Atlanta

02:01are going to be able to, to win, win out here, but there are only one game back right now

02:06and that NFC West, uh, division race, that's, that's the most intriguing race in football

02:11right now.

02:12Right.

02:13What's going to happen in that NFC West.

02:14And I personally think the Rams will end up being the ones left standing.

02:18Do you think that, uh, so the game would be Denver and Pittsburgh, uh, and I know Denver

02:24has good defense, but don't you think that honestly, that the Steelers would get to bow

02:27Knicks and rough him up and beat them?

02:30Well, what, what's so awesome about that game, Scott is Russell Wilson versus the Denver Broncos,

02:36Sean Payton versus Russell Wilson.

02:39And we got, you know, there's revenge tossed around very loosely in the sports world.

02:43Right.

02:44A lot of times like, Oh, big revenge game.

02:46And I remember as a dude, he goes, no, why would this be a revenge game?

02:48He goes, they drafted me.

02:49They made me a millionaire.

02:50Like he goes, I got nothing but love for this team.

02:54Not everything.

02:55Everyone who gets traded.

02:57Doesn't always hate the other team after, right.

02:59It doesn't always work that way.

03:01But in this instance, Sean Payton could not have been a bigger jerk to Russell Wilson,

03:08right.

03:09Publicly behind the scenes, there's no love lost between them.

03:13Then he ripped Nate Hackett after, if you recall, like, let's, let's be real.

03:18Sean Payton likes to run his mouth a lot.

03:20All right.

03:21So that would be a great matchup.

03:22And speaking of which, I don't know if you guys remember this, but years ago, Sean Payton

03:27and Jim Harbaugh used to hate each other, bro.

03:30When the 49ers and Saints used to play, like they refused to shake hands.

03:33Remember they nearly got like, they got into it after a game once.

03:36Yeah.

03:37There's no love lost between them either.

03:39So they're going head to head this Thursday with an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot

03:44for these, you know, these teams on the line.

03:46That should be a fun, intense football game.

03:48Not a track meet, but a fun game on Thursday, Saturday, Scott, I don't know.

03:53Now Mahomes is talking about wanting to play right in this game.

03:57I was, I think they could, I think the chiefs could even win.

04:01Even if I agree with you, if you're the chiefs who cares, like even if you, even if you lost

04:06the one seed, it would be almost criminal if you brought Mahomes back because he wants

04:12to play now because he says I'm a competitor and he gets hurt for real.

04:17But Hey, I don't care what the Kansas city chiefs do.

04:20All right.

04:21I hope they rot in hell.
