I mean, the arrow is pointing the complete opposite way for the, you know, Kansas City Chiefs, you know, it, it has been known, the AFC Championship game over the last what, 7 years has been the arrowhead invitational, quite frankly, and I don't think they're gonna get there. You see the odds right there at 17 to 1. They are now down at 6 and 6, they're at 500. You were just talking about Dallas, like who. They bump out? Well, listen, the Chiefs would have to bump someone out after this. And when I look at the rest of the wildcard standings, George, I see teams like Buffalo, I see teams like the Chargers, I see teams like the Jags, and you know what they all have in common? They have beaten the Chiefs heads up, so they would lose all the tiebreakers to those teams. They're in essence. games now out of a playoff spot and quite frankly, George, for me, you remember how last year there was something like 12-0 in one score games and everyone was talking about, oh, the refs and the block field goals and Isaiah likely's foot being too big and things like that. This all regresses to the mean eventually. I think there's something like 0 and 6 this year in one score games and quite frankly, I don't care if it's Andy Reid, I don't care if it's Patrick Mahomes. They look like an average football team, George. They're not getting the breaks that, you know, I'm not gonna go telling all the refs are on the Chiefs, and they wear Chief jerseys and all that, right, they've got all the brakes last year, right? Uh, refs are not this year, not so much, right? Uh, listen, I don't, I don't think it's a ref thing. I'm not saying that the same day. Sometimes you get the breaks, sometimes you don't. This year the breaks seem to be going against them, you know, uh, it was through the Cowboy game yesterday as well here. Uh, the, the calls seem to go more the Cowboys' way. that fumbled by George Pickens. There's 18, uh, Chiefs there, but Turin gets the one cowboy that's in the area. That, that happens in football. Now they're in trouble. They're, I'm not gonna tell you they're not. All right. Uh, they're probably on life support here, and you're right, they're in 9th place right now though. They, they would need to climb over two teams, but one of those teams they play next week. All right, that's Houston. You win that game, OK. You're in, you, you got past that. You got the tiebreaker. Now, everything you said is true. This is the old lies, damn lies and statistics, right, because you gotta, you gotta pass one of the Chargers, Jaguars, Bills, you lost each, but you play with Chars yet. You win that game, and that tiebreaker goes away. Now we're going down the divisional record, right, conference record. We'll see how that plays out for you. So they're not dead. They're in trouble. They're not dead. All right. Yes, you lost to Buffalo, and I don't know what's the Buffalo Pittsburgh game Sunday is very interesting. I wasn't. earlier that the Buffalo is an offensive lineup. They miss 3 starters for that game. Dion Dawkins is out well with a concussion, I believe there, so they're in trouble there. So it could be and I don't trust Jacksonville, by the way, at all, or I don't trust as far as I can bowl them. So, well, they're not dead here and the schedule, by the way, from the Chiefs. It's, it's sort of, it's ahead of you. You're behind the the Texans, you play with Texans. You're behind the Chargers, you play the Chargers. You're behind the Broncos, you play the Broncos. So it's, it's there for you. It is there for you. You know the two games, by the way, are gimmes, right? And by the way, all three of those games I just mentioned at home at Arrowhead. Not bad. So let me ask you, they're not dead, and I wouldn't mind placing a couple of bucks on them to get in the playoffs because of the schedule. The two Gimme games are at Tennessee and the Raiders on the road. I'll take that. So, so let me ask you this because I don't disagree with you, right? I'm not gonna count them out until mathematically they are out, right? Because I've just seen it before too many times. I also agree with you that I'm not necessarily a believer in the Jacksonville Jaguars, right? But If I had to press you, and you had to pick either the Chiefs or the Ravens to actually make the field, which one would you have more confidence in? Because literally, you know, 13 to 1, 17 to 1, you see those kind of odds for the conference there. I'll tell you what, if either one of those teams get in, right, and we're talking about Patty Mahomes at the Chargers. Or I mean, or at Denver or at New England, I'd be very interested to see what the bookmakers come up with because the idea we are programmed to think that Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, these dudes are the alphas in the AFC. Do you think they would be able to kind of Make a run and who could get in? I think if you're asking which team I would bet on to make the playoffs, it would have to be Baltimore because of the division, right? Uh, Pittsburgh's not very good. Cincinnati is maybe too far behind. So, uh, I would probably bet on Baltimore to, uh, of the two. All right. But if you're asking me which is the better team, it's Kansas City. Pat Mahone is playing well. Uh, he was, he played, I mean, he was great yesterday. All right, he was really good. We had a couple of plays, you know, to get out of trouble there and extending plays. We don't really probably give him enough credit for that, but he's all he's not John. Allen or he's not Lamar Jackson, but he was very good at it yesterday, and Lamar is not playing well. He's just not. Uh, I don't know what's happened since the injury there, but he doesn't look good at all, missing receivers. The whole team doesn't look good. So I think, but, uh, I think Balto has a better chance to make it because of their division. I don't trust Pittsburgh at all here. Aaron Rodgers, by the way, should play on Sunday. I don't know if that's good or bad, but he should play Sunday. Uh, so I think Baltimore has a better, uh, chance because of Pittsburgh and the women division, but Kansas City is the better team.
