00:00AFC championship game, three o'clock, Sunday afternoon, Mile High Stadium.
00:05Yeah, I'm still going to call it Mile High Stadium because it is the Mile High City.
00:08You take a look at this number, Joe.
00:10Four and a half at the opener, up to five and a half.
00:12It's been bouncing back, four and a half to five and a half.
00:15We just talked to George Kurtz, and he says he probably thinks this line is going to continue to increase as the week goes on.
00:21Jared Stidham is the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos, not Bo Nix.
00:24Drake May, he will be the starter for the New England Patriots, but also not playing great football
00:29and certainly seems turnover prone as of late.
00:32The total in this game is up, Joe, from 40 and a half at the opening number to 42 and a half.
00:37But weather conditions are getting colder by the day.
00:40We were talking earlier in the week, somewhere in the mid-40s, now into the low 40s.
00:44Now we're seeing this into the 30s and into the 20s.
00:47A cold day expected in the Mile High City, Joe.
00:50Yeah, it's going to be.
00:52And keep an eye on the weather, Donnie.
00:55We talked about this in our spread line segment last hour, that it can change in a heartbeat.
01:03We're not talking about dome teams here.
01:05We're talking about two parts of the country here where the weather can change on a dime, especially with Denver.
01:12So keep an eye on that.
01:13And I think you'll start to see the total adjust.
01:16But, you know, I disagree with George because I don't think we're getting anywhere near a touchdown when this is all said and done.
01:25I don't think we're going to see six and a halves at all.
01:29I don't think we'll ever see a seven.
01:31And if we, by some miraculous chance, happen to, Donnie, it's going to be bent back down in a heartbeat here.
01:38I mean, we're not talking about a Jared Stidham backup quarterback that is first year with his head coach or has absolutely no experience ever starting a game in the end.
01:50That's not what we're dealing with here.
01:52I know it's easy to just discount this team.
01:56But remember, they're a number one seed.
01:58They also have rest advantage here, Donnie.
02:01Let's not forget that.
02:02They played on Saturday.
02:04New England played on Sunday.
02:05That matters in these spots.
02:08So, you know, teams that have the number one seed have extra rest and had to play one less game.
02:15I wouldn't be just sticking a fork in Denver right off the bat here.
02:19I think they're very much a live dog.
02:21And if they don't win, they are still very capable of covering this line.
