00:00We begin in L.A., the Chargers and the Chiefs.
00:08I got to tell you, fellas, one of the funnier games, there's a couple of signs I like today,
00:12a couple of dog spots that I'm really excited about, and I thought the Chargers would be
00:16one of them.
00:17Again, it's the Chiefs.
00:18They're laying seven.
00:19I mean, how many times do we have to say this?
00:21It's actually seven and a half across the board now.
00:22Oh, really?
00:23So, like, more money's come.
00:24This game is baffling to me, and I can't wait to get into it some more.
00:26So, that's great.
00:27I can't wait to hear what you're at on this.
00:29If you've watched the Chiefs this or any year, you know to bet the Chargers in this spot.
00:36The thing is, I will trade you Herbert for the two tackles.
00:42I would much rather Easton stick as quarterback and get me Slater and Ault back on this offensive
00:50line, and I'll bet L.A.
00:52For what the Chargers want to be, I actually think losing both of their tackles is more
00:57damaging than if they would be without Justin Herbert.
01:01I worry about Kansas City winning this football game 17-6 and finding a way to ugly cover
01:10this game because the Chargers' injuries entering this one for me with the tackles are really
01:15concerning.
01:16I'm not on the side here, again, of course, Eileen Chargers, but what do you make of this
01:21now seven and a half points spread?
01:23It's funny because it's one of those lines that you look at and say, again, I always
01:27preface this, guys, by, look, Vegas doesn't just make up numbers.
01:30Okay, it sounds good at seven, let's just throw it out there and see what happens.
01:33That's the true number here.
01:34And yes, they're banged up, but it just feels like the old Chargers would fold in this spot.
01:38We just can't compete.
01:40Staley's our head coach.
01:41We're going on fourth and two in our own territory here for no reason.
01:44And I look at this and say, okay, what is Jim Harbaugh going to do?
01:46He's not throwing his hands up at this point.
01:48He's probably telling those guys we got them right where we want them at this point.
01:50So I just don't know why it's seven and a half.
01:52And to Kevin's point, if you just know the Kansas City Chiefs, and even the Chiefs, Joe,
01:56at their height of powers, with Tyreek Hill and the boys running up and down the field,
02:01it always seems like you get these games and say, Chargers are up three or four minutes
02:05to go.
02:06I hope they drive the length of the field and score a touchdown, even though they don't
02:08need to at this point.
02:09It's a similar line to what we saw in regards to just like last week with the seven and
02:13a half with Washington, right?
02:15Why are they hanging it?
02:16They're going to get crushed.
02:17And somehow, some way, Washington wins the ball game outright.
02:19But to Donnie's point, I'll say this in regards to just playing the Chiefs, Jim Harbaugh,
02:25this is the way you tell how far they've come from Brandon Staley to Jim Harbaugh.
02:30Because they are banged up, right?
02:33Can they compete?
02:34Can they make this a four-quarter game?
02:36And you're right, Kev.
02:37Both tackles are out.
02:38The way that Jim Harbaugh wants to run this game, controlled attack, run the football,
02:43stay in manageable situations, the way he did last week against Pittsburgh, they were
02:47in that matchup.
02:48They were dictating the tempo.
02:49They had a 10-7 lead.
02:51And then all of a sudden, once Herbert went down, they let it slip, right?
02:56If Herbert's not 100%, that's always an issue.
02:59And we're seeing his number drop from the time I came in, it was 196.5.
03:04It's down to 187.5.
03:06So obviously, he might not be 100% or people just think he's not going to be effective.
03:11I would take the points over the key number now, 7.5.
03:15Again, I think the Chiefs can win.
03:17But I think Harbaugh will keep them close.
03:19Forget all the games that have happened right now.
03:21This is the one in the division with the Super Bowl champs.
03:25See how good we are right here, right now.
03:28Give it everything you have.
03:30But my thing is, like, if they get smashed in this game, is that a huge indict?
03:34I just...
03:35Here's the thing.
03:36Herbert's playing.
03:37He's not healthy.
03:38He played last week against Pittsburgh.
03:39I know you watched the game with the totals.
03:42You had us dead to rights, by the way, right?
03:44We were laughing about his passing number at the break.
03:46I think he had a buck 25.
03:47He was going to sail through it.
03:48He left injured.
03:49Right.
03:50Herbert leaves injured.
03:51Are we shocked in this game?
03:52I was going to bet his passing prop over.
03:53But I know better.
03:54He might get it.
03:55But it's not worth it, because if he leaves injured in this game, that's on me.
04:00That's kind of my thing.
04:01I don't think this is...
04:02Now, if it's hard to win this game outright, hand Harbaugh coach of the year.
04:06I mean, that would be crazy.
04:07I can't see it.
04:08Would you be shocked if it's a high-scoring game?
04:10Yes.
04:11Like, if it's in the 20s, like 28-24, they pull it out.
