00:03 I think team, we know team success matters in this market.
00:07 And when you consider how great the AFC is,
00:09 and I know they're favorites to win the AFC,
00:11 win the Super Bowl and all of that,
00:13 but you're competing against yourself
00:16 and Mahomes is not just competing against
00:18 that incredible stat line he put up last year, Donnie.
00:22 He is competing against their team success.
00:25 I don't think I'm betting, I know I'm not,
00:27 I'm not betting him at six to one to win league MVP.
00:31 Yeah, he's not gonna win the MVP unless the chiefs
00:33 are the best overall team in that conference
00:35 because in his own division,
00:37 let's just say if the Chargers overtake the Chiefs,
00:39 well, it's probably not 'cause Austin Eckler
00:41 had 2,200 yards rushing.
00:43 It's probably 'cause Justin Herbert threw
00:44 for 5,000 plus yards and 40 plus touchdowns.
00:47 Therefore he would win that here.
00:49 But Patrick Mahomes, again, we just pencil him in as
00:51 what's a bad season for Mahomes?
00:53 38 touchdown passes.
00:55 I mean, it's crazy how high the bar he has set,
00:57 but also we always like new shiny things to show up
01:01 like Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets
01:02 and leading them to a division victory here.
01:04 He's in a new spot, he gets that bump here,
01:06 but also I think there is a little bit of disrespect
01:09 coming in Philadelphia for Jalen Hurts.
01:11 And the reason is we haven't seen anything
01:13 out of Jalen Hurts since the Super Bowl.
01:15 Just going about his business, OTAs, preseason practices.
01:19 He's looked fantastic.
01:20 We haven't seen him in a game yet.
01:21 And also the Philadelphia Eagles here
01:23 coming into the season, the Super Bowl losers,
01:25 have an extremely tough schedule,
01:27 which could be a bonus for Jalen Hurts.
01:29 The Eagles bust out to a 13 and four record this year,
01:31 a 12 to one price on Jalen Hurts, an absolute steal.
