00:00And we have a little fun here, Zinn.
00:03We've taken a couple of bets here in the future market
00:07to see which one you like better.
00:10And let's look first at the NFC North who has one too.
00:14Well, they got a few teams in the playoffs this year here,
00:17Zinn, so which is a better one, a better bet do you think?
00:22Any NFC North team making the Super Bowl at minus 165
00:27or any AFC West team making the Super Bowl at minus 115?
00:32Both have three teams in the playoffs.
00:38I would still take the NFC North.
00:40I mean, I don't think an AFC West team
00:43is making the playoffs, is making the Super Bowl.
00:45So there's that.
00:46I think it's both.
00:47Ah, okay.
00:48Oh, I wouldn't make that bet.
00:49Well, I think that's a good price.
00:53I mean, 165 feels like it's a little light, doesn't it?
00:57Given the fact that we're dealing with the number one seed
01:00and Detroit, Minnesota.
01:03Again, I would turn around and think that the line,
01:07the odds makers are telling you right there,
01:09there's a much greater chance of the Lions
01:11making the Super Bowl than the Chiefs making the Super Bowl.
01:14That's essentially what they're saying, right?
01:16Because the other two seeds, again, in the AFC
01:20are a six seed and a seven seed, right?
01:25In the Chargers and the Broncos.
01:27In the NFC, you're looking at the five seed
01:30and the six seed, which still are markedly better teams
01:34than both the Chargers and the Broncos are,
01:35comparatively speaking, in their current conferences.
01:37So yeah, I get why the number is bigger,
01:40but it's also telling you that the path
01:43for the Lions to get there is easier,
01:47which I don't necessarily know is true.
01:48Because again, if Minnesota upsets the Rams,
01:53which may be a realistic possibility.
01:55You're telling me the third matchup between Detroit
01:57and Minnesota isn't still a coin flip game?
01:59Because what's the hardest thing to do?
02:01The old adage, what's the hardest thing to do in the NFL?
02:03Beat the same team three times in a season.
02:06It's really hard to do.
02:07It's happened before, and it used to happen a lot more
02:10in the older format of the NFL playoffs.
02:15But nonetheless, that said, it's really tough to do it.
02:18So I don't know that the Lions path
02:22is necessarily easier than the Chiefs,
02:24but the Bills slash Ravens who will meet each other
02:26in the divisional playoff are gonna eliminate one of them.
02:29So the Chiefs really only have one tough game
02:30to get to the Super Bowl, and it'll be at home.
