00:00Thanksgiving Day continues, 4.30 p.m. Eastern, Kansas City and Dallas.

00:04This look-ahead line, Joe, is 4.5 Kansas City.

00:06We're down to three at just about every outlet now,

00:09and seven out of every ten tickets coming in on the Dallas Cowboys.

00:12A total, 51.5 to 52.5, depending on where you're shopping at here.

00:16This is an interesting handicap.

00:17Both of these teams needed a comeback, but I don't know if we're getting that bump,

00:21like, ooh, the Cowboys have saved their season.

00:23Understand this about Kansas City.

00:25That's a different type of football team now, Joe,

00:26that we've used to being over the past couple years.

00:29They gave it to Kareem Hunt 30 times last week.

00:31Pacheco is supposed to come back.

00:33I see Kansas City more now of, hey, you know what?

00:35We're not a three-play, 68-yard-and-a-touchdown team.

00:38We're an 11-play-drive team that we can go and hand the football off,

00:42and I think that helps the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

00:45They're the favorite here on the road.

00:47Yeah, they are.

00:48But let's talk about the Colts in Houston.

00:50No, I'm kidding.

00:51Here's the Chiefs are the only, Donnie,

00:54they are the only road favorite on the slate here.

00:57And interestingly enough, road favorites, 25-1 straight up on Thanksgiving since 2004.

01:0520-6 against the number.

01:08And it's usually one or the other, right?

01:10The Lions and the Chiefs have never gone 2-0 since, I believe, since 2001.

01:17Very rare that they go 2-0 together on the same day.

01:20I mean, how many years was Detroit terrible on Thanksgiving and they were just a laughingstock?

01:27But both of these teams came out of overtime games,

01:30and teams on short rest off of overtime, Donnie, not good.

01:3524-47-3 against the number in the last 20 years.

01:40So, you know, which one of these teams wins?

01:42Which one of them covers?

01:43I think it's not a shock that the money is coming in on Dallas at this point.
