00:00thursday night should be an intriguing battle here uh craig i think with denver taking on
00:07seattle short week uh denver got the job done uh on the road there against the char although i you
00:14know that was more about the charges ineptitude than really anything certainly offensively that
00:19denver did uh but seattle has got to be kicking themselves because that game they did everything
00:25in their power to give the 49ers that game and they lost at home now they got to go on
00:30the road
00:31the altitude to denver the total has been crashing wouldn't shock me if this closes below 40 uh it's at
00:3840 and a half right now what are we thinking here two and a half seattle has a road favorite
00:45is it a
00:45bounce back spot for them uh because i don't like denver's offense in any way here yeah we've reached
00:54also the point of the season for the broncos where the home field advantage is not what it was in
00:58september teams are now more conditioned uh i i have not liked what i've seen from denver and i think
01:05seattle is the better team the other part of this also if you're gonna back seattle is this is where
01:12look i look look obviously i like watching the games and i think part of handicapping is watching
01:16the games but i think way too much is put into watching it and i think a lot more should
01:20be the
01:20line but in that game in particular if you watch that game seattle should have won that game i mean
01:26there was a pass from sam darnold to jackson smith ajigba at the end that that he usually catches and
01:31if he does seattle wins the football game and then what is this line seattle minus three seattle minus
01:36four seattle minus five maybe something there so i think you are getting a little bit of a extra
01:42uh you know point or two here from seattle just off that loss and i and i do think that
01:47they're better than denver uh the the question is if denver is going to turn it around joe they
01:55haven't put together two halves of football all season it seems like they just sleepwalk the first
01:58half and then the second half they come back so i i sort of look at this game and say
02:03give me seattle
02:04first half it's kind of like honestly like like why go against something that's been happening all
02:09season long if the line is about even seattle's probably a one point favorite just to have a
02:14halftime lead i may just take seattle in the first half that's it yeah all right it's gonna be i
02:21think
02:22a pretty good test uh now here craig because we're getting to that point uh in the season right where
02:27all right denver if if we're gonna take you seriously because we both think kansas city right
02:33now is the class of that division uh in the afc west well let's you got to prove it man
02:38you got
02:39the here defending super bowl champions coming to your building you've always had a pretty good
02:43home field advantage here so well we got to see it now right we can't just be like oh they'll
02:49figure
02:50it out down we're getting to that point in the middle of october craig there's no more figuring
02:54it out right you are what your record says you are so i'm gonna need to see i don't know
03:00what's going
03:01on offensively with denver but you brought in davis webb nobody thought it was a great hire because he
03:08was inexperienced then you pulled it from um uh the duties of calling the game from um sean they
03:14looked worse with sean payton calling plays uh in that game than they did with webb so i i don't
03:21know
03:21i mean there's only so many games you're gonna win defensively in the afc west right agreed agreed
03:26yeah look i i think in the end denver's a team that gets better in the second half of the
03:31season
03:31similar to last year uh but their offense is shaky man and and they don't really have a strong
03:38running game they don't have a ton of great receivers uh waddle you know maybe i was too
03:43tough on waddle i i just didn't think waddle was going to be good at all in denver he's been
03:47okay
03:47is that fair to say like he's been okay but said like what does he add one really good game
03:51and then
03:52the rest like sort of mediocre games uh i believe i i agree with these odds here i i think
03:56the raiders
03:57will fall back a little bit and the chargers at this point even though i think they're going to
04:01become a cover monster by the way in the second half of the season i think chargers are going to
04:04start start i mean they're going to start covering games they may not win but this is this is getting
04:10toward like history levels of not covering every game i think they will uh but i i think that the
04:15chiefs yes you said of the class of division why because i think that this has a chance to be
04:20a
04:20historical free agent ad for kansas city this is to me like randy moss going to uh new england like
04:28like kenneth walker may be the biggest impact signing of anybody in the off season and usually
04:34it's never a running back in the nfl but i have personally been shocked and so impressed with
04:40with how he has looked he is look bijon robinson a more dynamic running back yeah fair gibbs yeah
04:47fair i got walker right there joe with those guys right now like this this guy is 75 yards running
04:54a 50 yards rush and 40 yards rush like he looks better than he was when he was with seattle
04:59and it makes you wonder what seattle was thinking letting him go like what like whose decision was
05:05that that was a poor one so i think seattle's saying that correct now right like what the heck
05:10like what the heck man well wilson actually has done a nice job for them truthfully uh you know
05:15charbonnet will come back and wilson's done a nice job but how did they not just want to pay him
05:20that money with the way that the salary cap doesn't really work in the nfl and every year it goes
05:24up
05:24by 50 million that the super bowl mvp is the guy you let go bizarre any team could have had
05:30him
05:30kansas city's the one that did i i think that those odds that we just showed for the west are
05:37inarguable it's it's very rare for me to say that can't argue anything i see there
