00:00Starting to talk about a game here that's going to be played on Sunday afternoon, Joe, at 1 p.m.
00:03It's a game between the Los Angeles Chargers in the thick of the playoff race in the AFC
00:07with maybe a chance to win the division if things go right for them
00:10and maybe not so well for the Denver Broncos.
00:13But understand this, the Dallas Cowboys are fighting for their playoff lives.
00:16But, Joe, there is a caveat here.
00:18You see the graphic on the screen.
00:19Cowboys are favored by minus 2.5, a total of 49.5.
00:23The Philadelphia Eagles play the Washington Commanders on Saturday at 5 o'clock.
00:27Should the Philadelphia Eagles, Joe, win that game, Dallas is officially out of the playoffs.
00:32So how do we play this moving in?
00:34Now, also, it's not as if that if Dallas is not eligible for the playoffs on Sunday afternoon,
00:40Dak Prescott doesn't play, CeeDee Lamb hits the IR, and they don't play George Pickens.
00:43We're still too early in the season for that final game of the season to not get guys hurt.
00:48Does that come into your psyche at all?
00:50Do you want to watch Saturday play out before?
00:52Because, also, the added incentive is if Washington pulls the upset on Philadelphia,
00:57you might get an extra motivated Dallas Cowboys squad.
01:02Yeah, well, a lot depends on that.
01:04But either way, I just don't know whether or not we can trust Dallas in this spot here.
01:10And give the Chargers credit.
01:12My goodness.
01:13You know, there were some doubts here of what they'd be able to do on the road against Kansas City,
01:17and they put those to bed.
01:19And, you know, a lot of injuries coming out of that last week's Dallas game, Donnie,
01:25including Quinton Williams, who left with a concussion late in that game.
01:29So there are a lot of question marks I have regarding this Dallas team.
01:34The one thing I can tell you is it appears the Chargers have rallied around,
01:38figured some things out.
01:40They got their running game going again.
01:43A very dangerous team indoors.
01:45Yes, I know Dak's been great at home, but you know what?
01:48Justin Herbert's an indoor quarterback as well.
01:51Man, this feels like, if anything,
01:53maybe we're getting a few more points than people think in this game.
