Start to talk about a game here that's gonna be played on Sunday afternoon, Joe, 1 p.m. It's a game between the Los Angeles Chargers in the thick of the playoff race in the AFC with maybe a chance to win the division if things go right for them and maybe not so well for the Denver Broncos. But understand this, the Dallas Cowboys are fighting for their playoff lives. But Joe, there is a cat. Caveat here. You see the graphic on the screen. Cowboys are favored by -2.5, a total of 49.5. The Philadelphia Eagles play the Washington Commanders on Saturday at 5 o'clock. Should the Philadelphia Eagles, Joe, win that game, Dallas is officially out of the playoffs. So, how do we play this move again? Now, also, When you look, it's not as if that if Dallas is not eligible for the playoffs on Sunday afternoon, Dak Prescott doesn't play, CD Lamb hits the IR and they don't play George Pickens. We're still too early in the season for that final game of the season to not get guys hurt. Is that come into your psyche at all? Do you wanna watch Saturday play out before? Because also, the added incentive is if Washington pulls the upset on Philadelphia, you might get an extra motivated Dallas Cowboys squad. Yeah, yeah, well, a lot depends on that, but either way, I, I just don't know whether or not we can trust Dallas, uh, in this spot here and give the Chargers credit, my goodness, uh, you know, there were some doubts here of what they'd be able to do on the road against Kansas City, and they put those to bed, and I, you know, the a lot of injuries coming out of that last week's Dallas game, uh, Donnie, including Quentin Williams, who left with a concussion late in that game. So, there are a lot of question marks I have regarding this Dallas team. The one thing I can tell you is it appears the Chargers have rallied around, figured some things out, they got their running game going again. They're a very dangerous team indoors. Yes, I know Dak's been great at home, but you know what? Justin Herbert's an indoor quarterback as well. Man, uh, this feels like if anything, maybe we're getting a few more points than people think in this game.
