Yeah, I'm very interested with Houston. It is a tough ask, and that's why I said, you know, you're gonna mix in some of the Thanksgiving stuff here. The next game is at KC. Yeah. The Chiefs. I sometimes I don't know what to really do with this team. The reality, I think for Kansas City is there are just too many ways to beat them. There are too many ways things can go wrong for them. The offense isn't consistent enough, the defense isn't consistent enough, so you might look at the game against Dallas and say, well, don't worry, Houston doesn't have an offense like the Cowboys they're not gonna be able to exploit Kansas City in that way, couldn't agree more. The Texans are capable of holding Kansas City to 17. So I think that game, Tom, it, it becomes. I mean, look, so that'll be nail that very well could be nail in the coffin for the Chiefs as well, but that's not ideal for the Texans. I don't care what anybody says. I know sometimes people love to fade this Chiefs team. They had to, had to, had to, had to have the Colts game. They got it. That was the game more than any other they played they needed this year, maybe the Baltimore game at home where they would have fallen 1 and 3 in Arrowhead. That's my hesitation on running to some of these Texans' futures. And I would say the same thing. I think there are 2 games this upcoming week that are effectively, you know, win and you, and not in, but if you lose, you're out. You're not going to be mathematically eliminated, but so it's gonna be this game and it's also gonna be Cowboys, Lions, which we'll get to, you know, later on. That's effectively an elimination game, right? And, and again, because it's just of where the losses are, where the wins are, you know, going down, down throughout the rest of the season, they're only gonna pick up so many more wins. So effectively. This is on the season for both teams. And there's a path forward for the Chiefs, but it also means that someone else has to drop out. There's a path forward for the Texans. Someone else has to drop out. So I see this game playing out more as we saw Chiefs Colts rather than Chiefs Cowboys, low scoring game, field goal-ish type game, because as you said, yeah, the Texans don't have that offense, but they have a significantly better defense. And if this game ends 21-17, 20 to 17, I think that's where we're gonna be. I think for Can you know, and, and the reality is though, if Kansas City gets that win, while it doesn't guarantee they are in, they would, they and the Texans would sit 7 and 6. Chiefs with a tiebreaker. So that's where it comes in for Houston, right? It is we're trying to evaluate can these teams actually break into the dance? And I just said I think the Texans are the best team in the AFC South, but that plus 350 price isn't reflective where the market says, oh, Kevin's way wrong here, Tom's wrong. This team isn't as good as these guys think. It's they put themselves behind the eight ball and situationally they just may not be able to get there.
