00:00Kansas City and Buffalo feels like they play every single year he's like Buffalo's like yeah

00:04we'll get you in the regular season but we're not going to beat you in the postseason this line

00:07sitting at a one and a half point favorite for Kansas City and a total of 52 and a half two

00:12really good teams in the AFC Tom how you playing this one well overall this is obviously a huge

00:18game I think this is again a bit of a measuring stick game for Kansas City they've looked fantastic

00:22they beat the Raiders they they smoked them they beat the Commanders without Daniels like

00:27like those aren't the most impressive wins like has their season actually turned around and now

00:31playing a quality team this is not to say that Buffalo's been cruising they came with a big win

00:35last week but prior to that they were struggling so you know looking at plenty of points being

00:39scored in this game obviously don't mind taking the points with the Bills as a home underdog but

00:44let's turn to James Cook under 76 and a half rushing yards historically he's had a ton of struggles

00:50versus Kansas City uh nine nine carries for 20 yards 13 for 85 this would put him over 76 and a half

00:5618 of 61 10 of 50 and two of eight the two of eight was in his rookie year we have to take that

01:01with a bit of grain of salt but the Chiefs right now they are eighth in defensive rush success rate

01:05and Cook although I think he's fantastic I'm not sure he'll have enough carries and or enough

01:10explosive runs to truly get him there I think there will be balance in the offense but that at the end

01:15of the day Allen's still going to be the main guy with the ball and if it turns into a shootout

01:18and there just won't be enough rush attempts for him

01:20well who's running the ball in this game then Tom is my question because Pacheco's not going

01:28which means Kareem Hunt has got to go but you're not running I don't think either of these teams we

01:33know Buffalo is going to want to run uh and they are going to force them to get to be stopped here

01:39Kansas City what is it going to be here is it just Mahomes passing attempts because they're not

01:44going to be able to run yeah that's a good question uh Prashad Smith one of their younger

01:49running backs their third string running back has been talked up a good amount Mahomes likes him

01:53uh he played receiver in college so he does have some pass catching ability so I would I would really

01:59look at this game it's like Andy Reid's going to pull out a bag of tricks of like we're going to do

02:03like the pop passes we're going to do quick screens we're going to do bubble screens whatever it is

02:06in order to emulate a running game but it's not going to be traditional runs until they get inside

02:11the 20 inside the 10 and that's where Kareem Hunt comes in and just grabs you some easy yards and or

02:16a touchdown Tom Atlanta got smoked last week by the Miami Dolphins who got torched last night on

02:22Thursday night football and an embarrassing performance they're going on we're not too

02:26sure exactly who the sorting quarterback is going to be we'll probably find out a little bit later

02:29today but Drake May is going to start for New England New England is a favorite this look ahead

02:33line was around three we're now up to five and a half to just about every outlet in the total

02:37of 44 and a half what's the way you're going to play Atlanta taking on New England

02:40Atlanta coming off a horrible game uh you know Kirk Cousins in there their offense was terrible

02:47they had a fantastic matchup they didn't get Bige on the ball really a fail top to bottom for them

02:52now they're going up against a team with the Pats were allowing the second fewest rush yards per game

02:56they're absolutely fantastic we're assuming that Penn Pennix is going to be in there that's what we

03:00should be planning on getting Bige on the ball is basically the the easiest route for them to

03:05succeeding and when we look at the Pats defense if you can't rush the ball on them how can we get Bige on the

03:10ball when you look at the past they've allowed the six most receiving yards to opposing running

03:14backs that's sitting up at 317 getting the ball to Bige on Robinson makes a lot of sense it also

03:19makes sense in terms of this game script if they are playing from behind that's why we also see the

03:23Pats allowing so many receiving yards to running backs because they're out in front so many times

03:27get the ball to Bige on try and keep the game close you're going up against a very good team in

03:32New England I'm not sure if a quarterback who's had his struggles this year in Pennix coming off a game

03:37that he missed is now going to go on the road and come away with the win as an underdog I think you

03:41can operate the offense effectively and halfway decent to try and take some type of silver lining

03:46from this game but I think Bige on has to have the ball a minimum of 18 times for the Falcons to even

03:52have a shot in this game so the Pats are defensively terrible versus running backs in their

03:57receiving game just give the ball to Bige on there over 35 and a half receiving yards
