00:00That's the Kansas City Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks, Joe.

00:02We have some line movement this week where you saw the Kansas City Chiefs were favorites here.

00:06The minute you start talking about, I don't think Patrick Holmes is playing,

00:09you knew that line was going to swing.

00:11So let's just say a minus two and a half, minus three point favorite for the Chiefs

00:14has quickly turned into a three point dog price for the Kansas City Chiefs

00:17and a total sitting there at 39 and a half.

00:20Some fun bets in this one, Sam Darnold, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Cooper Cup,

00:24everybody to score a touchdown on their first drive.

00:26If Darnold throws a touchdown on the first offensive drive, that's a plus three thirty.

00:30But you could double up, Joe.

00:31Darnold's going to, he throws, somebody's got to catch it.

00:33If it is Jackson Smith and Jigba, 11 to one, Cooper Cup, 14 to one.

00:38Any belief here that the Chiefs looking to sit their starters is a positive for the Seahawks

00:42and that's why you should play the Seahawks tonight.

00:44Yeah, and listen, last week we saw against what was it, Arizona,

00:48the Chiefs played where we got both Kyla Murray and Patrick Mahomes

00:52and the starters out there for the game.

00:54You and I laughed, we said, yeah, we'll take the first half over here

00:58if they're going to push the starters in this one.

01:00Probably not going to get a lot of that one here, right?

01:04I mean, this one I think will be a lot of, what, Gardner Minshew kind of situation here.

01:10I think that the backups are going to be on full display in this game here tonight.

01:15And quite honestly, if I'm Kansas City, what am I looking for

01:20outside of maybe a couple of reps here or there for Mahomes and the starters?

01:24I really need to figure some other things out.

01:27Yeah, you got 39.5 as a total in this game.

01:30If we're just looking for the Kansas City Chiefs for one touchdown pass in the game,

01:33it's a minus 330 price.

01:35If we switch that over to Seattle, that's a minus 400 price.

01:39Rushing touchdowns, which you see a lot.

01:41Like some of these teams, you know, they get inside the five-yard line,

01:44they're going to run it four straight times.

01:45You know, first down yard, second down yard, third down yard.

01:48Oh, look, fourth and goal, the six-inch line.

01:50We're not kicking a field.

01:51We're not throwing a pass.

01:51Let's run it in again.

01:52For Seattle to have one rushing touchdown tonight, minus 330.

01:57Kansas City, one-plus rushing touchdowns, a minus 122.

01:59I'm just going to fan the numbers here.

02:01But you can't parlay them together.

02:02Like I would actually, like if you told me, say, Don,

02:04do you think Seattle's going to have a rushing touchdown?

02:06Yeah, I do.

02:06Same thing with the Chiefs?

02:07Absolutely.

02:08It'd be nice to parlay that into plus money,

02:10but you can't do that in your lane, heavy juice.

02:12What are you more comfortable, Joe?

02:13So, like, just not only talking about tonight, like Seattle

02:15and let's just say Kansas City.

02:17If you had to pick, like, do you like the angle of touchdown passes

02:20in a preseason game or actually rushing touchdowns in a preseason game?

02:25Yeah, well, it depends on the quarterbacks, right,

02:27and what the offense is trying to do.

02:30But given the state of what we saw in week one, Donnie,

02:34in the preseason where the just utter lack of anything other than a cover two

02:38and some prevent defenses here, yeah, it's –

02:43I would opt to say that teams might have a better chance of airing it out

02:46and throwing more touchdowns than anything else.

02:50Yeah, taking a look here at the Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks

02:53outside of, obviously, Patrick Mahomes, Gardner Minshew, Bailey Zappi,

02:58Chris Oladakun, and then, of course, Patrick Mahomes at this point.

03:02So, a lot of backups looking to get some action and run.

03:04I understand this, too.

03:05So, like, they're trying to make the football team, even if it is Gardner Minshew,

03:07he's not going to go out there and be like, hey, man,

03:08don't let me throw the football.

03:10Let me hand it off.

03:10Like, these guys want a gunsling out here.

03:12It'll be interesting to see how this game does play out

03:14if Patrick Mahomes does not start.

03:16But whenever Andy Reid is up in the air on something, you can't trust it.

03:19I mean, I've known for years when he was with the Eagles,

03:22Donovan McNabb's going to play that first half.

03:24Six plays, 52 yards, a field goal.

03:27Okay, bring him out for the game.

03:28Like, whoa, Big Red.

03:29Thought he was playing the whole half.

03:30He played one series.

03:31You always have to take these coaches with a grain of salt here.

03:35Yeah, but you really, really do.

03:39Week two is about cleaning up mistakes from week one as well, Donnie.

03:43A lot of that could be going on this week also.
