00:00 Speaking of the Bills and the Bengals and the Chiefs, the tier of three atop the AFC.

00:08 Well all three teams, the R.S. lost their opening game.

00:12 The Ravens beat the Texans but lost J.K.

00:14 Dobbins for the year.

00:15 The Dolphins went to L.A. and got a big victory.

00:18 The Browns were dominant.

00:20 The Jags had a divisional win.

00:22 And the Chargers, yeah, they lost to the Dolphins in a classic Charger-ing way, but still 11

00:27 to 1.

00:28 So, D.R.S., there's been a lot of change already in the AFC championship odds, given the injury

00:32 to Aaron Rodgers in what New York now has for the rest of the year.

00:37 But in those eight teams, D.R.S., the eight best prices currently to win a conference

00:41 championship in the AFC, the buy or sell question to you, the AFC has eight legitimate conference

00:49 championship contenders.

00:51 I don't believe that right now.

00:53 So I'm going to, I guess, what's the question here?

00:55 The AFC has eight legit contenders.

00:57 Sell it here.

00:58 I'm going to buy that there's only five.

00:59 I'll sell that there's eight at this point.

01:01 Because if we're looking, I like the Chargers.

01:03 But don't the Chargers just feel like every single year it's the same thing?

01:07 Incredibly good, can't win close games.

01:08 It's usually their kicker can't make kicks.

01:10 Their coach is calling timeouts at the wrong time.

01:12 Herbert's got a phenomenal arm.

01:13 They score 30-plus points.

01:15 They have enough playmakers on defense to do things, but yet they don't.

01:17 Now, granted, they lost to a pretty good football team in the Miami Dolphins.

01:21 But if you win that game for the Chargers, maybe it's a little bit different of an outlook

01:24 here on 2023.

01:25 Let's take a look here and let's just say top five, right?

01:29 Kansas City, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Baltimore, and Miami.

01:32 I think there's a little bit of a fall off from the Cleveland Browns, the Jaguars, and

01:35 the Chargers.

01:36 I'm not saying that the Browns, after week number one, pummeling the Bengals, can't be

01:39 something in 2023.

01:41 With the Jacksonville Jaguars, you should walk to a division championship, which means

01:44 they'll be in the playoffs with a minimum one home game year.

01:47 And also the Chargers, as we talked about.

01:48 So, so much talent.

01:49 Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs did lose along with them, so they're not behind the eight

01:53 ball after week number one.

01:54 But if we're being honest with ourselves, you're still looking at the Chiefs.

01:57 Yes, they played, you know, uninspiring football, to say the least, on opening night.

02:01 But that's because they dropped a couple passes.

02:03 They win that football game.

02:04 Hey, same old Chiefs on their way to another Super Bowl at this point.

02:07 I'm going to go with five teams here.

02:09 Chiefs, Bills, Bengals, Ravens, and Dolphins, right now, after week one, that I see, have

02:13 a legitimate chance.

02:14 And the hardest one for me, Ben, is the Miami Dolphins.

02:16 Because I can't take credit for the Dolphins.

02:19 I can't knock the Dolphins.

02:20 Because I'm still waiting for the bottom to fall out.

02:23 Did you see the way that Chuitaga-Bailoa played on the road against a good pass rush

02:28 and absolutely lit up Los Angeles?

02:31 If we see that for 17 games, who's stopping the Dolphins on the offensive side of the

02:34 ball?

02:35 The only thing stopping the Miami Dolphins is if Chuitaga-Bailoa goes down with another

02:39 concussion.

02:40 It's the only reason why I really can't hype the Dolphins up just yet, which is why they're

02:44 so intriguing to me.
