00:00the Denver Broncos need to win. The Kansas City Chiefs are already off into the playoffs.

00:03That line is ballooned out to 10 and a half at the FanDuel Sportsbook and a 39 and a half.

00:08No Patrick Mahomes. It's going to be Carson Wentz as a starter when the Denver Broncos are at home

00:12just eating a victory. So technically, Tom, we don't need style points. You just need a victory.

00:16But how do you handicap these games entering into it?

00:19So the Broncos just overall, they haven't been good on the ground this year, right? They have

00:23this backfield by committee. Sometimes it's Williams. We're just not seeing any level

00:27consistency. There are some games that Bo Nix is leading the team in rushing.

00:31So at the end of the day, if they're not having this success on the ground,

00:33I think they just put the ball in Bo Nix's hands. That's where we should be looking.

00:38So whether it's yards or whether it's attempts for him, that's the spot that I'll be looking.

00:41I'll also be looking to Kareem Humphrey on the other side because he really should be seeing

00:46the majority of the work because Isaiah Pacheco isn't expected to play. So I don't mind looking

00:50or even Carson Steele if he gets involved for the Chiefs, you know, their third string running back.

00:54So those two on the Chiefs side of things, and it's got to be Bo Nix. Like he's their

00:57best option in the offense overall and keep it simple. Just get the ball down the field,

01:01pick up some yards, convert the touchdowns. I don't know who's going to score. Maybe Courtland

01:04Sutton when it's all said and done, but I don't have any interest in their running game,

01:08despite what the 10 and a half point spread would indicate.
