00:00But I want to take the AFC odds or just a moment here
00:03Which is Buffalo as a favorite to 2 to 1 Kansas City plus 230 and then the Ravens are plus 350
00:09My question to you guys is if you are currently without a wager in the AFC, right? Yes
00:16from Houston down
00:1813 to 1 13 to 1 13 to 1 Texans Chargers Steelers got big ticket items potentially on these wildcard teams
00:25I'll go to you first Donnie
00:26Does anyone actually look worth it to you the Steelers at 13 to 1 really when they're right?
00:32And they're healthy in probably in environments where to be colder weather if a veteran quarterback. They have a running game
00:37They have defensive guys. They can step up and make plays. Do I love it?
00:40No, but if the question has to be answered
00:41I'm not gonna say I don't like anybody down there from the 13 to 1 the Texans completely shot
00:45They shouldn't be 13 when it should be 23 to 1 at this point. The Chargers 13 to 1 is interesting
00:50I just don't think they have enough weapons when it's all said and done to get their love to coach love the quarterback
00:55But I don't know if it's like hey, let's just ride loud McConkie all the way to an AFC title at this point
00:59I just think the Steelers when they're right Joe in a day-to-day environment where it's like to any given Sunday
01:04You can win a football game. I trust them at the 13 to 1 price way more than Texans Chargers Broncos Bengals, whoever
01:09Yeah, I agree with Pittsburgh being the most, you know, because they're the most physical
01:13I believe out of all of that group that were there and
01:16Even though the Chargers at one point a couple of weeks ago had the number one scoring defense in the NFL
01:22That was before Baker sliced and diced them for 40 plus
01:25I still believe in the Steelers now if I had a bet in terms of this market
01:30I I don't know if I would bet the Steelers
01:32I probably would just even though I don't love it
01:35I would take a shot on Stroud because we talk about quarterbacks being able to take over a game
01:39They haven't done it to this point
01:41I know and I said there's been regression, but I would still take a shot in terms of
01:46Houston just because they do have weapons in a playoff situation
01:50Hoping that they could kick it up a notch because when they're on calves, they're better
01:54I believe than all these offenses right now, including Denver, but even with all the injuries though
01:59I still would take a shot on Stroud. They have Dalton Schultz
02:01They have Nico Nico could take a game over at any given moment when he's on right?
02:06He is that type of player where he can take a game over
02:09Especially in a playoff environment the way they run the football at times with mixing, right?
02:15I would take a question on that too real quick. The Texans even a favorite at home and around number one against Pittsburgh
02:21Yeah, it would be by like what three. I don't know and not by a ton. I look here
02:26Let's just handle this with Pittsburgh, right? So they enter that stretch of schedule where we go, man
02:31How are they gonna beat these playoffs teams?
02:32They beat Washington and Baltimore by a combined three points
02:36It doesn't mean they don't it doesn't count right but by a combined three then they played Philly in Baltimore again
02:42And those games were they lost by a combined 31 points
02:46So which one do you think is more real ultimately on the Steelers?
02:50I I mean the team that that snuck out one point victories or the teams that don't even look anywhere near as good
02:56Considering they were never supposed to get anywhere near as good like I leave a lot to be judged
03:00Like let's just say Pickens does come back against the Chiefs and they beat the Chiefs like everybody at this panel including my siblings
03:05Oh, you know what Steelers?
03:06All right training in the right direction this point they lose to the Chiefs with Pickens and ugly and then they head down the stretch
03:11And Kareem off the path like yeah, I'm gonna be off but I want to judge them at their best
03:14That's what I'm saying. Maybe I'm unfair, right?
03:16They could beat Kansas City with Pickens and it will not change one thing
03:20I think about Pittsburgh it will just confirm what I think about Kansas City. I
03:25Think they get it done with defense more times when they're winning games than they do so much with their offense and I'm not taking
03:31Away from Russell Wilson success. I'm just saying TJ why and that defense can take games over, right?
03:37We always know that they they got into the playoffs last year with Mason Rudolph in that defense
03:42Running the football with Najee Harris
03:44So you can't say they can't do it or strike the upset what I just will say out of the handful of teams that you just
03:50Mentioned Houston down to Denver at 32. Yeah, if you go position by position
03:55Offensively, I would rather have Stroud over Wilson. I would rather have Nico over George Pickens
04:00I would rather have mixing over Najee Harris and and we'll go down the list
04:05I would take Schultz over Friar Muth
04:07So in a playoff setting right where we're we're talking long shots. I would take Stroud so
04:14Here's how I I personally feel right now, right because ultimately we all would assume
04:20One of Buffalo Kansas City or Baltimore will win this right? I think if you take their combined odds
04:26Probability right there about 85. It's about 85 percent. It's gonna be one of that trio. So for me
04:3313 to 1 on any of that isn't long enough. I would have much rather
04:38Honestly take the Cincinnati, Miami
04:41Indianapolis group and say well if I get in I got a crazy ticket on my hand because it's gonna take something
04:49Absolutely insane for one of the big three not to do it ultimately like like Donnie we could debate Houston vs. Pittsburgh
04:56Here's what we wouldn't debate. We don't think either one of them is going to actually win this conference, right?
05:00So at 13 to 1 I don't think that's enough of a long shot
05:04I don't think Miami's gonna win the conference, but I'd rather a hundred and fifty to one on Miami than 13 to 1 on Houston
05:11Hmm, I mean because again Miami's probably I'm gonna get into the playoffs
05:15But for me, I just like if I get into a one-game scenario and you say how you gonna put that out 13 to 1 or?
05:20Higher I trust the Steelers more than any other team. That's 13 to 1 or higher
05:24Yeah, the Denver Broncos nice season
05:26Cutting into the playoffs you take a look at the Chargers a lot for me left to be desired on the talent end of a
05:32Particularly on offense and sometimes that defense has been disappearing as of late the Cincinnati Bengals so much fun in a one-game wire
05:38They would be fun. Then you go
05:41Anybody in the playoffs so from be just it's almost like just a path down
05:44Who do I trust the most in a one-game scenario?
05:47It's the Steelers for me because I can't trust Miami because I don't think they're getting you can make the argument that Steelers have
05:51The best defense out of that whole group, right?
05:53That they could take a game over and they can win it just based off of potentially defense
