The AFC North. This is gonna be, this isn't true what I'm about to say, but it's how I feel is the most important division in football. Now again, that's probably ridiculous. But I, here's my case. If you look right now. At at least entering the season. The consensus top 4 quarterbacks, consensus, not my rankings, maybe not Tom's, maybe not yours. In some order, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, and Burrow. And the odds are telling us. That only 1 of those 4 will have a home playoff game. And the odds have said. It's going to be Lamar. And they still say that. The odds have moved quite a bit. Telling us it could be Joe Burrow. And that to me becomes. So important and so fascinating, and yes, I bet Cincinnati is my Super Bowl pick before the season, so yes, I'm rooting it on. But Tom, you and I have done this before various times about big long shot tickets on Cincinnati, finding which ones have the most value. The reality right now is if you played any of them, they all have value because their win over Baltimore with the Bills taking out Pittsburgh has made the Bengals feel alive in this division and therefore for a home playoff game for the first time since Borough went down. And I would say when we're talking about this, and it, and when it comes to the Bengals, you know, frankly, I think that the Ravens' remaining schedule is actually more important than the Bengals' own schedule. And I would say the Bengals are in a spot to win potentially against the Bills. And the Ravens schedule, if we look at that, versus the Steelers versus the Bengals versus the Pats. The Packers and the Steelers. I think it's fair to say that they'll lose one of the games versus the Steelers just because that's how that series goes. They have to win that game versus the Bengals. But man, the Pats and Green Bay, those are not easy teams. And I know people are gonna say Green Bay is a little bit up and down, whatever it might be. That's a great defense. That is a very, very tough remaining schedule. Uh, Kev, you alluded to the Colts' remaining schedule. This remaining schedule has to be up there. For just of where they sit overall in the league. So if the Bengals, if we go back to their schedule quickly, if we look at the Bengals remaining schedule, that's a win versus the Dolphins, a win versus the Cardinals, right? That is, that could potentially be a very easy schedule for them now that Burrows back, T Higgins could be on his way back. So what we see in this division is not just, oh, if the Ravens win out, it's like, they're not in a spot to win out. Not, not at all. I, I'm gonna give you a take, Tom. I know the market isn't going to line up this way, so I wouldn't need to bet it now. I could bet it if, if it happens and the and the market will be, I think, off. If the Bengals beat the Bills next week, I think they should be favorites for the division. I, I do not think it'll move that far, because they will only be sat there at 5 and 8. They're still gonna have to run the table. I know it's easy to say, oh this team will run the. If Cincinnati beats Buffalo, I genuinely believe they will then proceed to run the table. I really believe that if they beat Buffalo, that 850 number is gone. That's gonna be cut in half if not more. So, you know, we always let me ask you this though, Tom, go ahead. If they beat Buffalo, let's say the Ravens handle business against Pittsburgh, they are booked as favorites in that game. in week 15 in Cincinnati. Or the Bengals' favorites at home against the Ravens. 1.5 goals, 1 and it won't be much, it won't be over a field goal because we've got overs. Yes, 1.52 totally agree, whatever it might be. It'd be very slight and, and effectively, that might be the division match or the, as we said, you know, elimination game with some of these that might effectively be the division title game because if the Bengals win that game, they take care of business for the Dolphins, they take care of business for the Cards, that could lock up the division for them. And frankly, I think I'm talking myself into wanting to bet the Bengals at 8:50 right now.
