00:02 Sunday Night Football tonight is a Green Bay team in a good spot coming off of the Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions at home.
00:09 But their playing a Chiefs team that woke it up against the Vegas Raiders, no doubt.
00:13 And now you have KC laying six.
00:16 I'm a little scarred from last week. Raiders plus the 9.5. 14-0.
00:21 Look, you don't celebrate and count the money before it's done, but I mean, you can be sub 14-0.
00:26 You can't cover a 9.5 point line. That's what happened last week with those Vegas Raiders.
00:30 The biggest question, Joe, on this 42.5 total, is Jordan Love from Thanksgiving?
00:36 Is he that same guy here tonight against Kansas City?
00:39 I think he is, and I really like this team overall in terms of how they're playing, in terms of the offensive, defensive line play.
00:45 And it's not just Jordan Love, but how he's distributing the football to the playmakers.
00:49 We saw Christian Watson get involved in terms of that performance against Detroit.
00:54 We saw A.J. Dillon catch the football out of the backfield.
00:57 That was without Aaron Jones.
00:59 And we saw Jalen Reed, as well, step up in critical performances.
01:03 But that front seven, led by Rashawn Gary, is playing very well.
01:06 They're opportunistic, forcing turnovers, and it's now been multiple weeks.
01:11 I think they're playing a little bit with house money here.
01:13 I like this spot for Green Bay, Donnie.
01:16 They're catching 6.5. It's going to be cold, potentially 24, 25 degrees.
01:21 It is back-to-back road games for Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes.
01:24 If they can run the football with A.J. Dillon tonight, just the way Josh Jacobs did, what did he get, a buck 15?
01:30 I know a chunk of it was on the big run, the touchdown run.
01:34 But if they can move the chains with the rushing attack, I think Love could work off a play action.
01:39 I like Green Bay later tonight, Donnie.
01:41 You say cooler temperatures right around freezing tonight, windy conditions.
01:44 Not going to be there, only around 5 miles an hour, and also no precipitation, which is key.
01:48 So it will be a cool night in Green Bay, expected for this time of year.
01:51 And I do agree with you on A.J. Dillon.
01:53 60.5 here, rushing and receiving for A.J. Dillon.
01:56 So, Donnie, why don't you just go with the rushing game here?
01:57 No Aaron Jones. He's actually been catching some passes here over the past month, so I'm looking to tack on with that.
02:02 And also, looking from a perspective from both teams here, you look at the rushing numbers.
02:06 4.6 yards per carry, the Kansas City defense gives up.
02:09 You take a look here, 4.4 yards per carry, the Green Bay defense gives up.
02:13 So maybe an Isaiah Pacheco number as well.
02:15 But also, if we're looking at Kansas City here, that -6 is huge.
02:20 Because also, we talk so much about the rest in that Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers game,
02:26 but this is the same type of situation where Green Bay is now at home after playing off of Thanksgiving,
02:30 which I think is pretty incredible that this number sits at 6.
02:32 If you're just line shopping and looking at some things, that's a stone cold Kansas City line for me here.
02:37 I like the way Patrick Mahomes is playing, and also, I've said this time and time again, and I'll be up here each and every week,
02:43 Kansas City's probably going to win this football game because I think they're going to run the table.
02:46 So what do they have to do today? Win this football game here.
02:48 Patrick Mahomes, I think, is a cheap number in the mid-250s here. I think he goes over that.
02:52 Rasheed Rice may be his number one wide receiver now, which is pretty interesting to myself.
02:56 But if I'm looking at this game optimistically, I do think Green Bay can hang around.
