00:00All right. Let's shift to the Chiefs. Yep. Yep. And by the way, Scott, with the Chiefs here now,
00:05you know, one of the things, one of the underrated parts of their run yet again to try to win the
00:10first ever three in a row is the health of this football team. Scott, all 53 players,
00:17barring any kind of setbacks, will be available for this game next Sunday.
00:21That's a big reason why teams make it, Scott. The Eagles have gotten healthier, by the way,
00:25late in the season. But the Chiefs have barely had players listed on injured reserve. The only
00:30player, Scott, the only player, key player, who will not play in this game is Raychee Rice,
00:34who suffered an ACL injury very early in the season, so he won't be back to next season.
00:40But other than that, Scott, look, they made the trade for Hollywood Brown.
00:45No, I'm sorry. He signed a one-year contract that got hurt.
00:48Right. Right.
00:49And look, they made the trade for DeAndre Hopkins. He's done a nice job. And then, look,
00:54when you look at this past target group, they got Xavier Worthy from Carver's Bills. The Bills
01:00decided to trade a big chess piece. We set it on the draft for SportsGrid. We were set on the set.
01:07We could not understand why would you do this. In my reporting on this story, the Bills did a lot
01:12of background on them, but they decided they didn't want them. And you look at the problem
01:16with the Bills passing game, despite scoring all those points, where are the explosive plays
01:21downfield? Well, the Chiefs, they're not that deep in their passing game. It's more short to
01:26intermediate, but Worthy is well ahead of schedule. He wasn't expected to play very much this season.
01:30Right now, he's their top receiver. He is so far ahead of schedule, Scott. And he's a gadget guy.
01:36You'll see them hand it off to him in the backfield. They throw it 10, 15 yards downfield.
01:40He runs after the catch. He's been a great story. And I don't know where they'd be without him.
01:44He's an explosive player. And against Philly, this is going to be a fun matchup next weekend for him.
01:50Let's talk about their running game. Everyone thinks it's Pacheco, but it really hasn't been.
01:56How about this one? So, this has been interesting. You know, Kareem Hunt, who was a third-round pick
02:03out of Toledo, I believe, in 2017 for the Chiefs. You know, he's back, obviously, this season for
02:08them. And he's been a great story. In fact, Scott, what happens is Pacheco starts, but as we saw last
02:13week in particular, Hunt is the main ball carrier. So, if you're doing player props, and we'll talk
02:19more about this next week when we're in Vegas, when we're at the Super Bowl together. But if
02:23you're going to be in Vegas putting money down or you're going to do it online, the bottom line is
02:27you got to understand what roles are happening here. Pacheco may be the first guy in, but he's
02:31not the last guy. And Kareem Hunt, as you saw last week, looked great against those Bills. And
02:36he looks great. I'm a little surprised. He looks really, really good. And by the way,
02:40he's good in pass protection. He catches the ball well. He's a guy who will put up yards.
02:45And that's going to be a game, when you look at the over-under total. I know that both defenses
02:51are playing very well, but the offenses are potent. And Kareem Hunt's a guy that
02:55could probably do better than you think.
