00:00Cowboys have looked good lately, but I do not trust the Cowboys for that reason.

00:05I like the Chiefs on the road minus the three.

00:08Chiefs got over 500. They're 6-5. They're still on the outside looking in.

00:13I know a lot of people think after beating the Colts, the Chiefs are going to start their run right now.

00:19The Chiefs are an average football team right now.

00:21They are.

00:22This is Dallas' season. If Dallas thinks they're going to vie for that last wild card spot,

00:27they got to get to a 6-win right now.

00:29Now, the tie they had with Green Bay is going to come into play later on.

00:33They have to get this win, and if they do, then the Chiefs can't make the playoffs.

00:39This would knock the Kansas City Chiefs out of playoff contention.

00:43And what did you say? The Chiefs are favored?

00:44The Chiefs are favored on the road.

00:46I don't know how you picked this game, but go ahead and do it.

00:47Yes, I like the Chiefs minus the three.

00:49Oh, come on!

00:50On the road. I do. I just do. I do not trust the Dallas Cowboys.

00:53If the Cowboys win this game, maybe.

00:55Do we know who's officiating this game yet?

00:58Oh, I'm sure we can find it, but I'm not chasing it on the officials.

01:02You're going to check the officials, and should I move on to the third game?

01:05I'll go on to the third game. I'll see if I can find who the official is for this game.

01:08All right. The Ravens have been winning lately, but they have not looked good,

01:12and I'm wondering if Lamar Jackson is healthy. That's a big concern of mine.

01:17He's not looked great the last—they've won, but he's not looked great.

01:19And I believe it's because he's not all the way there.

01:22For all that said, the Bengals are an absolute dumpster fire.

01:26I like the Ravens minus the seven against the Bengals.

01:30I like them to cover the spread in large part because the Bengals stink,

01:33but I am very worried about if your prediction could come true.

01:37Can the Ravens win out if Lamar Jackson is closer to 50% than 100%?

01:41If he's 50%, I don't think they can win out.

01:43If he's 100%, they certainly can.

01:46You know, look, they got the gift they needed with Pittsburgh losing last week.

01:49Obviously, Aaron Rodgers didn't play because of the broken wrist on his non-throwing hand,

01:53but that gave Baltimore the division lead again.

01:55So now they can totally control their own destiny.

01:58All the way through.

01:59They win, they're in.

02:00And they'll get a home playoff game.

02:02Look, I know Joe Burrow is probably coming back and playing tonight,

02:07but I don't think that changes a damn thing.

02:09I don't.

02:10Yo, the Bengals' defense is not very good.

02:13Their offensive line is not very good.

02:15I can even make the point of suggesting that Joe Burrow shouldn't play.

02:19Like, what's the upside?

02:21Right?

02:21You got $250 million committed to him.

02:24Your season is over.

02:25You only have three wins.

02:27He's already banged up again.

02:29Why play him?

02:30I think the reason is you got to keep some of those guys are long-term guys.

02:35Like Jamar Chase coming back from suspension,

02:37if you don't play him, you're basically telling those guys to quit.

02:40I think that puts a bad taste in a player's mouth.

02:42Also, you have a group that does not like the owner.

02:46These guys want to play.

02:47All right.

02:55All right.

02:56And then I'll do it.

02:58All right.
