00:00Well, interesting, I think, line here between the Texans and Colts. Now, we know that Houston
00:08is the better team between the two, but Mike, Houston's been wildly inconsistent on offense
00:13this season. They've won games and a lot of them have been closer than they needed to
00:17be. And on the Colts side at this point, I mean, Indianapolis has got to be praying that
00:23Anthony Richardson shows a lot more than he's shown thus far. We thought going into the
00:27year, based on what we saw in a few games last year, that he could potentially be, you
00:32know, an elite quarterback in the NFL. He hasn't even come close. Total 46 and a half
00:36in this game. You know, I don't see them making a switch. You cannot do that. I mean, they
00:41invested such a high pick in Richardson, so my guess is he's going to play, but it was
00:45not pretty last week against Miami.
00:47No, it was not. But I think the first prayer that they have to say, Craig, is get Jonathan
00:54Taylor back healthy for this one, because if that happens, a lot changes for them. But
00:59I look at this from Houston's side, and I can't stress how important a game this is
01:04for Houston and for them to play and play well, because they're coming off a really
01:09difficult stretch of their schedule. Next week, maybe not so daunting, but you look
01:15down the road in two weeks and now you're playing Detroit. So, I don't like the idea
01:23that Houston can go in and take this lightly or feel like that it, you know, we got through
01:27the tough part of our schedule, and now we've got a relatively comfortable home game. They've
01:33got to play great this weekend, and that's kind of why I favor them a little bit, even
01:38giving the significant number of points that they are. I think Houston understands how
01:43important this game is to dominate. It's a division game. They've already got to win
01:47over the Colts. If they can get that sweep, it'll be huge in the pursuit of the division
01:52champion. And just getting into the playoffs in the AFC isn't enough. You've got to try
01:58to avoid the Chiefs for as long as you can, and you're not doing that if you're dropping
02:02home games to the Colts. Yeah, without a doubt. All right. Historical
02:05game coming up this week, always used to be fun between the Cowboys and 49ers. San Francisco,
02:10four and a half point favorites. Dallas off a bye, generally pretty good with Dak and
02:14company. San Francisco definitely up against it, although they did, I mean, with all the
02:18bad news, they did get a little bit of good news yesterday with Debo Samuel leaving the
02:23hospital. Otherwise, it's probably Juwan Jennings and George Kittle, and then a bunch
02:27of rookies play. Maybe Ricky Pearsall gets into the action, but look, San Francisco's
02:31very hurt. But right now, Mike, like, I mean, I don't even know what to expect from Dallas.
02:37I could see Dallas winning this game easily, and I can see them losing 51 to nothing. That's
02:41the problem with them. I don't know. Yeah, if you're a believer in the Cowboys,
02:47go for it. But if you're thinking about betting on the Niners, what are you betting on? I
02:52mean, you're betting on thoughts and prayers. I mean, you don't have any idea who's going
02:57to play where for them right now. No IU. We don't know if Debo will play. Kittle's even
03:03a little banged up, although he'll probably go. I just and of course, you know, Christian
03:08Caffrey still not ready. So I just there's no way that I'm betting on the Niners this
03:12week. If you believe in the Cowboys, go for it. But you just don't know enough about the
03:16Niners to say, yes, I'm in on them.
