00:00I'll end out the pick six, talking a little bit of history.
00:04We got 11 of the 12 potential categories.
00:07While Donnie was here, we didn't get my favorite yardage prop.
00:10For me, it's Travis Kelce, over 51 and a half.
00:15Because when you look at what Travis Kelce has done in the postseason,
00:20it is remarkable, it is historic.
00:23And that number of 51 and a half is just a little bit too short.
00:29A number, by the way, that even in a disappointing start to the season for
00:32Travis Kelce, he still went over in eight of the final 13 regular season games
00:37that he played.
00:39Travis Kelce has 1,903 receiving yards in his playoff career.
00:44He has 19 receiving touchdowns.
00:46Both of those numbers, second most in NFL postseason history,
00:50only behind the great Jerry Rice.
00:53Travis Kelce needs 342 yards to catch that receiving yards playoff record
00:58that Rice holds at 2,245.
01:02Would he get it this year and at most three games?
01:05More than likely not.
01:07And we'll see about his football future beyond 2024.
01:11But as we focus on the playoff production of the Holmes in Kelce,
01:16it is historic.
01:17Last year in the postseason, despite a dismal and disappointing year,
01:21where maybe many questioned Travis Kelce, did he still have it?
01:24Was he still one of the best tight ends in the National Football League?
01:27He had at least 71 receiving yards in all four playoff games for the Chiefs.
01:32He had seven receptions at least in three of the four and
01:35still scored three touchdowns.
01:37How about the year prior in 2022, another Super Bowl winning year for Kansas City?
01:43At least 81 receiving yards in all three games, a touchdown in all three.
01:48Even 2021, when KC came up short in the AFC Championship game against
01:53the Bengals, all three games for Kansas City,
01:56at least 95 receiving yards for Travis Kelce, a touchdown in all three.
02:03I think the Chiefs win comfortably tomorrow at home in Arrowhead.
02:07And I think we are reminded, despite a disappointing season,
02:11it's funny to call a 15 and 2 season disappointing,
02:14where one of those two losses came with all the backups in the regular season finale.
02:19But at least in terms of crushing teams, of blowing out teams,
02:23of decisively dominating teams, the Chiefs really didn't have it this year,
02:28which for a second consecutive season has allowed at least a little bit of doubt to
02:32build up for this dynastic run for Kansas City.
02:36I think tomorrow the Chiefs remind why they will play in seven consecutive
02:41AFC Championship games, why they have won two straight Super Bowls,
02:45why they have played in four of the previous six Super Bowl matchups as well.
02:52I think Kansas City makes a statement at home, fresh off a bye with Andy Reid,
02:5730 and three straight up in his career when his team is fresh off a bye,
03:02and the other has not had the idle weekend.
03:05And the Chiefs, despite not covering a ton,
03:08especially in games they were expected to win comfortably, 0 and
03:125 against the spread this year as a touchdown favorite or greater,
03:16will show you why their postseason numbers are so
03:19drastically different than even the best regular seasons,
03:22even a regular season that can result in 15 victories.
03:26The Chiefs are 13 and 5 against the spread in their playoff career since 2018,
03:33which of course coincides with the season that Patrick Mahomes became the starting
03:38quarterback in Kansas City.
03:40So Travis Kelsey, over 51 and a half receiving yards.
03:43For many reasons, it's my favorite bet from a yardage perspective for
03:47a divisional round weekend.
