I'll say this, Joe. The Indianapolis Colts being booked as favorites to win the AFC. It is outrageous and unjustifiable. There's no way you could look me in the face and tell me the Indianapolis Colts should be AFC favorites. No, not at all. I agree, especially after they lose on the road yesterday. Here, here is the question though. I think when you look at both sides. If we would have asked 100 people, 100 of them probably would have said Kansas City needs the game, they would have won, right? Uh, and would have probably have said they would have won in dominating fashion. I don't think that if you were picking Kansas City, you, you thought they were gonna struggle and just get by by a field goal. So when you look at the performance and you say, man, this team had 9 points basically heading into the 4th quarter at home. Against a good defense, but certainly we're not calling Indianapolis, uh, the Cleveland Browns in, in that front seven, right? You know, teams have exposed them throughout the regular season and yet they held this team in check at home in a must-win type of game. So when you talk about consistency, when you talk about home field advantage, and you talk about Andy Reid and Pat Mahomes, clearly they were on. Support yesterday. And again, I just think it came down to Indy is still a young team trying to figure it out and didn't have that killer instinct to really put the nail in the coffin. And, and that's why when I look at the game and I say, OK, yeah, Kansas City won, they should have won, but they, they really struggled. This game goes into overtime and Jonathan Taylor only has 58 yards on the ground and you say to yourself, Win it by 3. I mean, they couldn't turn over Daniel Jones in the back end at all. I, I mean, that's my point when we, when we talk about the weaknesses of Indianapolis big picture playoff type of team. You worry about Daniel Jones, you worry about this team from a defensive perspective, and they brought it in a must-win game. They just couldn't close it out. I, I again, I, I would believe more in Indy now. Right, so after that performance, you could push back, but, but I, I don't disagree with you saying that they should be not booked as number one, but I, I, I would still back them on a road type of environment in a playoff type of situation. Here, here's why I disagree, right? I think now I feel pretty confident the Colts at home would not be booked as favorites over Kansas City or Buffalo or, or Baltimore for that matter. I don't believe that's how the books were treated. And I don't think there's a path for the Colts to be hosting New England or Denver. So I don't see a path for the Colts to be booked as a round two favorite. How in the world are they the favorites in the conference? Are they would, would you make them, you wouldn't make them favorite over Drake May and, and, and not in New England. They're not hosting New England. You gotta look at it now. You have an 8 and 3 Colts team, right, who has 4 games left. The Jags and Texans with the other two being at Seattle and home versus the Niners. Not easy. I'm gonna say this, I think it is more likely the Indianapolis Colts do not win the AFC South than win the AFC, and the odds would agree with that statement, by the way. This is a Colts team for me. They did an excellent job beating bad teams and smashing them. That is consistently overvalued year over year over year. How have they done against projected playoff teams? Rams, Chiefs, Steelers lost. They smashed the Chargers and they should have lost to the Broncos if not for a field goal call. We could be staring down the barrel of a team 1 and 4 against playoff teams, right? No, you're right, but you see, like, I take a different side, forget the Pittsburgh game because they were down big in that matchup, right, but. One score by both the potentially the best team now in the NFC in their house and 3 points to the best team or that everybody's anointing as AFC champions that the Chiefs in their house, they lose by a field goal. I'm just saying, so for me. My perception is, hey, this team gets into a playoff type of situation. They have showed me, even though they lost those games, catching points, I'm willing to back this team. And again, maybe you get out of, you know, a certain situation with the cover, Joe. At the end of the day, you're right, they covered this football game. When you're booked as the favorite, I gotta think I gotta stack with there's a flaw and there, there's definitely weaknesses there. How, like, at the end of the day, as much as they weren't supposed to win this game, offer by up double digits going into the fourth, where, where they were the highest scoring offense in football, where were the remainder of those points that they were waiting on in this game?
