SportsTranscript
00:00 the final of the four games on
00:05 divisional weekend. It's the
00:07 marquee matchup in Buffalo, the
00:10 Bills and the Chiefs once again
00:12 for a spot in the AFC
00:14 championship game. Of course,
00:16 it calls back our memories of
00:18 that wonderful division around
00:20 game from two playoffs ago.
00:22 Many, as you said, Davis
00:23 earlier on in this show, one of
00:25 the best football games in the
00:27 modern era of the NFL. This
00:29 time, though the difference
00:31 Patrick Mahomes will play in his
00:32 first true road game in his
00:34 playoff career as Josh Allen in
00:37 the Bills will play host to the
00:38 Chiefs. Buffalo booked as a two
00:40 and a half point favorite. The
00:42 over under is 46 and a half.
00:45 Davis, where do you expect the
00:47 market to move by the time we
00:49 get to Sunday evening in Orchard
00:50 Park? I think it stays here. I
00:53 would be incredibly surprised to
00:56 see it go to three and a half. I
00:57 mean, maybe it goes, maybe it
00:58 goes to three, three and a half
01:00 would be disrespectful. I mean,
01:02 that would be that would be real
01:03 disrespect to Patrick Mahomes
01:05 and the Kansas City Chiefs. Um,
01:07 Mahomes in his career has a 75%
01:10 winning percentage on the road,
01:13 right? So not overall on the
01:14 road. Um, Mahomes as a dog or
01:18 as a as a as a pick him.
01:20 Obviously he is. He's got the
01:22 best covering percentage of any
01:24 active quarterback in the NFL.
01:26 He's not a dog all that often.
01:28 I don't believe the Mahomes
01:31 Chiefs have ever been more than
01:33 a four point dog. Uh, I think
01:36 that is correct. Um, he Mahomes
01:38 is eighth all time at 28 years
01:40 old in postseason wins as a
01:43 quarterback. Uh, so that's
01:44 pretty impressive. That is a lot
01:45 of wins to have racked up by
01:47 being 28 years old. All of that
01:49 is to say there are a lot of
01:52 reasons for the Kansas City
01:53 Chiefs to feel confident that
01:56 not only can they cover this
01:57 spread, but that they can win
01:58 this game outright. But there
02:00 are also a lot of reasons when
02:01 you watch them do not be
02:03 confident. One being they
02:05 already lost to this team two
02:08 months ago and they did so in a
02:10 way that did not make you feel
02:12 like, oh, they just got unlucky.
02:13 You know, it was more like, I
02:15 don't see how this team scores
02:17 enough points. And we even saw
02:18 it against the dolphins. You
02:20 know, obviously I live, uh, you
02:22 know, I, I live in the Midwest
02:25 and I am around a lot of Chiefs
02:26 fans and you know, my, my
02:28 buddies were, we're in the
02:29 group chat. We're like, oh,
02:30 we're filing our petition with
02:32 the worst. So back department,
02:33 you know, and I'm like, well,
02:36 yeah, you look better. You're
02:38 playing well, but it's not
02:40 quite right. You know, it's not
02:43 the high flying Chiefs. It's
02:44 not, they can score a touchdown
02:46 at any moment. The, the, the
02:47 sequence that I obviously
02:49 cannot get out of my mind for
02:51 the Chiefs is the game against
02:52 the Raiders on Christmas where
02:54 they, she, they give the ball
02:56 away twice defensive turnovers,
02:58 you know, immediately and they
03:01 can't do anything on offense.
03:02 Ben AOC could not complete a
03:05 pass. And it's like an eight
03:06 minute drive for Harrison
03:08 Butker to miss a field goal,
03:09 you know, and they're just like,
03:11 it's like Sisyphus pushing the
03:12 rock uphill. And obviously they
03:14 were better than that against
03:15 the dolphins, but they still
03:17 couldn't put the biscuit in the
03:19 basket at the end. Harrison
03:20 Bucker made five field goals in
03:22 that game. Rashi Rice had a
03:23 touchdown, waved off, Kelsey
03:25 dropped one in the end zone.
03:27 Like it's, it's, it's getting
03:29 better, but it's not quite
03:30 right.
