00:02 >> This is still at ten and a half for tomorrow night.
00:06 47 and a half is the total, Joe.
00:09 Are you gonna be laying it here, the fat number for the home team?
00:14 >> I actually wanna take the points, Scarver.
00:19 >> Of course you do.
00:20 >> [LAUGH] I do.
00:22 I wanna take the points.
00:24 You know, with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy potentially on the block,
00:29 everybody hates the Broncos.
00:32 It might be a buy low time here.
00:34 I mean, all the money's gonna go on Kansas City.
00:37 I don't know. >> If this was any other team,
00:39 if this was any other team getting ten and a half points on the road on a Thursday
00:44 night game, you would have already put the ticket in.
00:46 But you despise Russell Wilson and
00:48 Sean Payton so much that it's a motion for you now.
00:51 Cuz you know 90% of the people are gonna be on the Chiefs tomorrow night.
00:56 You could already know.
00:57 When those numbers start rolling out tomorrow afternoon, 86%, 92%.
01:03 That's when Joe looks at those numbers and he goes, all right, all right,
01:06 I'm on the other side here.
01:07 Everybody's going one way.
01:09 Did you know this, Joe?
01:10 Let me see if this gets you going too.
01:12 Since 2003, double digit favorites in division games,
01:17 120, 148, and 9, only 45% against the spread.
01:22 So it's usually in these division games with double digits, Joe.
01:26 You're right, that is the side, is the side getting the ten and a half.
01:30 >> Here's the thing too, as good as maybe statistically Russell Wilson is playing,
01:35 they're gonna have to run the football in Kansas City to neutralize Patrick Mahomes
01:40 and keep him on the sidelines.
01:41 The only way they could cover this number, their defense is so
01:44 bad that if you allow 35 or 38 points to Kansas City, you're gonna lose it.
01:50 Just the way you did by like 10 to 14 points last week against the Jets.
01:55 So they're gonna have to run the football, which means a lower scoring game.
01:58 Potentially they cover the line ten and a half.
02:01 They got no shot to win it though.
