Take whatever I can get.
And
yeah, it's probably the opposite of to the yeah, 20
weeks in. I'm absolutely looking for anything. You know,
week one's easy.
We 20,
you'll take anything you can get and
I'll search every inch of the internet to get it.
Well, Zach Taylor, if you had searched PFT right after
the games on Sunday, you would have had something the Bengals were
underdogs again and we even made that point. The Bengals
have to love this. They've beaten the Chiefs three
straight times.
Three times in calendar year 2022,
Patrick will homes is hurt
and the chiefs were one point. Favorites
were is the key word.
It's now swung. The Bengals are one and a half Point favorites.
At our had Stadium a two and a half points swing fueled
undoubtedly by all the People betting on the Bengals because
plenty have come to the conclusion as I have Chris. And
I told you this on Monday, I'm never picking against
the Bengals again.
Okay. All right, listen, I understand the point swing.
I think I'm with you. I'm a little shocked of like that.
The the Chiefs opened as the favorite. That was a little
surprising. I mean, I think it's one. Where you go,
wait, you know healthy Patrick Mahomes neutral field, right?
I'm going to, I would think that, that line would be 22 and
a half to The Bangles.
Mi just a neutral field.
Now, wait, now, Patrick Mahomes is not going to be 100%,
right? And as shown that,
you know, even one 100%. When he plays this team,
he can't necessarily
take over at times and I do they know how to stop some of
his magical plays there. So
yeah. I'm not surprised to see the line sway
towards the Cincinnati Bengals.
I will say this though.
You know. Yeah, three and oh
definitely. The Chiefs are better. The Chiefs are a better
team now. Than they were in the AFC Championship game, they're
a better team now than they were 13 weeks ago.
And that's where I think it's different now. Mahomes is not
the same, I get that, but Mahomes like we've talked about
to, he's been very good in the pocket this year so hopefully
all that work in the pocket can help them survive this one
you know and I hear your Bangles child, I be I be
shocked either way. I don't know how you feel about this
even with Mahomes at 85 90 percent. I'd be shocked if it's
still not a close football game.
Yeah, I agree with you. I don't think it's going to be
a blowout for either team by any stretch of the imagination. The
last time. The number one seed,
was the underdog at home,
man? 17 eagle
has dog mask. Like these are actually favored in that game.
What was anyone thinking? At that time? Good Lord. 38 27 was
the final score. Nick. Foles asked that? I
don't think it would be 38:7. Right Chiefs my goodness.
Um but yeah. Unbelievable. All right,
the Eagles
are now two and a half Point favorite over the 49ers.
Initially one and a Points in most places, you know, for as
good as a 49ers, are the property Dynamic, I think is
what creates the editor he goes. And also
the Eagles at home. Yes. Rock party going into that
environment? He said, just a couple of road games, nothing
like Philadelphia. Yeah, this is gonna be an experience. And
this is, you know, this is not easy for any quarterback. Let
alone a rookie. I think that's you headed. You said it, right?
And there's a lot of the, this is a
very even matchup in a lot of ways. I mean,
I'm excited to see this one. You Talk about teams and hard
heading and, you know, all the right players are just about
every position and that's what these two teams have certainly
and great coaches who were created by kind of on both
sides of the ball there.
But but yeah, I understand that. And you got Philadelphia
and Jalen Hurd says, good. As he's been this year, we haven't
seen them blink, the whole year, anything nothing's phase
them.
I would think that the Eagles are favored in this one.
Another interesting bedding proposition. Yeah. Super Bowl
winner and that's something we track all year long. Well, with
four teams left,
it's about as close as it can get. This is unprecedented,
the Eagles plus 240. The Bengals plus 240 Chiefs plus three
hundred, Forty Niners, plus
350. I think 49ers are the best value there if you are inclined
to make a wager, but again, do so responsibly and at your own
risk because listening to us, can be hazardous to your
Financial Health.
But I'm surprised the Bengals are Co favorites with
the Eagles. Well, I'm with you there, I am too, you know, but
but again, I think
you know what you're talking about, what you said in
the first segment, all that, when you look at the Bangles team,
there's really there's not a weakness to the team, except
the one area,
right? The offense of line, which was really good last
week, that was the shock and awe. That's why it. Oh, I know
we talked about it last week and I set it on our pics
podcast like I would have picked the
Bangles to Win that game, you know 10/10, but the offensive
line,
the three injuries,
the way they look the two weeks before that you went, I don't
know. Can they really do this? You know, that's the other
thing. That questions? I question again this week,
I don't know. Can they really do this? Can they put up another
performance like that
and stop Chris Jones and Company like that. That's,
that's semi one of the most intriguing parts of
the matchup. I know we got the quarterbacks and all that but
just the one week turnaround by the Bengals offensive line.
And what they They did, can they replicate that performance
and if they can replicate it to what we saw the other day, then
they're going to win and they're going to go to
the Super Bowl
but you know these this team Kansas City. They got some
different dudes up front here. This is different than
the bills and they got some guys who can go. We're all, I'm
taking the game over. I'm going to f----- plays up everywhere.
So
that's where it'll be interesting and I'm certainly
intrigued by that because I just didn't see that type of
turnaround coming from that group there.
