00:05 Are we going shopping at Nordstrom's here, picking the best of the best?
00:09 Or are we going to those bargain racks where there's a lot of people under 20 yards
00:13 that could have a lot of success tonight, Tom?
00:15 I think it's moving to some of those secondary options that are in the 20s or the 30s
00:20 just because we're going to be seeing, I would say, an easy path for both teams via the air.
00:25 And, you know, obviously Dallas-Gardard changes things.
00:27 Going to Devonta Smith has been a bit up and down this season when it comes to his consistency.
00:32 You know, 57.5 or whatever might settle at 60, I think is a little bit too high for me.
00:36 A.J. Brown, we know, is going to be that dominant receiver, dominant target share player for the Eagles.
00:40 So I'd rather just go to him and play the over rather than taking a shot on someone else.
00:44 I do have interest in other Chiefs players when it comes to their receiving props.
00:49 So let's look at those other Chiefs right now, maybe even a rookie that has taken on a stronger component
00:55 of the aerial attack.
00:57 Vecchio, you mentioned you expect the air game to be a huge focus of tonight, both for Philadelphia and Kansas City.
01:04 What do you think the offensive scheme looks like tonight under Andy Reid, Forma Homes, and the Chiefs offense?
01:10 Well, like I said, it's a tough matchup on the ground for the Chiefs.
01:14 The Eagles only allowing 66 rushing guards per game. That's best in the league.
01:17 So starting off, I think that's under for Pacheco, under 40.5 rushing guards.
01:21 You know, he's been good this season, but he's not cruising over this number in every single game.
01:24 So if he is not going to be having success on the ground, I want that to correlate,
01:28 which means Mahomes passing the ball to some of the receivers.
01:32 And like you said, Rishi Rice, over 17.5 longest reception is my favorite prop for the Chiefs receivers tonight.
01:38 He's been getting downfield a ton, 28, 37, 39 long receptions in three of the past four weeks.
01:43 The Eagles, they've been burned by long receptions.
01:45 Look at that game against the Commanders, 26, 26, 23 yards as long as receptions.
01:50 Get the same thing with the Cowboys, over 40 in some of those.
01:53 So if they can't move the ball on the ground, it's just all Mahomes and it's all his receivers tonight.
