00:03
- So, when we come back, we'll be talking about
00:06
this Super Bowl matchup because we talked a lot about,
00:08
well, what can Mahomes do?
00:09
What can Purdy, what can the coaches do?
00:11
We'll really dive in on what Patrick Mahomes can do
00:14
versus his 49ers defense and what Brock Purdy can do
00:17
against this Chiefs defense.
00:19
It's just, obviously, they're connected to
00:21
how this game will be dictated.
00:23
How much will it be dictated?
00:25
We can lay it out all we want,
00:27
but there's always going to be a break,
00:29
a fumble, an interception, a special team's play
00:32
that don't account for coaching mistakes,
00:34
but these teams are disciplined.
00:36
What types of penalties will be called?
00:38
We talk about officiating a lot,
00:39
and I think a big part of what we talk about
00:42
with officiating is how tight is this game
00:44
going to be called?
00:46
These Chiefs corners, these Niners corners.
00:49
Avery Thomas got called for a lot of penalties
00:51
in this playoff run for the Niners.
00:54
Does that play a factor again
00:56
when we're talking about Rasheed Rice,
00:58
Patrick Mahomes trying to take shots downfield?
01:01
These chunk plays via penalty can be part of a strategy
01:05
as teams get this far into the season
01:09
when you get desperate, right?
01:10
The Niners actually got desperate
01:12
in the NFC Championship game,
01:13
and a bounce off the helmet from a defensive back
01:16
lands in the hands of Brandon Iuk
01:17
and leads to a touchdown
01:19
that completely turned around the game.
01:20
So, when we come back,
01:22
it's a Patrick Mahomes comparison
01:24
to a Brock Purdy comparison.
01:25
I will take a look at their props.
01:28
What, who is more likely to hit their player props,
01:32
passing yards, passing touchdowns,
01:35
passing attempts a bigger part of how this scheme will look.
01:39
So, when we come back, I'll be doing that.
01:41
Then Donnie Wrightside right after that
01:43
to talk Super Bowl MVPs live
01:45
from the Betam GM Sportsbook here in Las Vegas.
01:47
(upbeat music)
01:57
- If you're going to say, yes, of course,
01:59
the playoffs started and now the Chiefs
02:00
are the best team in the league, fine.
02:03
I think that's wrong.
02:05
And I think it is going to be close to impossible
02:08
for the Chiefs to now play their,
02:11
for the third week in a row,
02:12
their best game of the season.
02:14
- Travis Kelsey has put back-to-back games together
02:17
for the first time all season long, and he's the go-to.
02:20
- Pro football today, only on Sports Grid.
02:26
(upbeat music)
02:28
- Don't want any distractions.
02:30
And Vinny, on the eve of these teams getting to Las Vegas,
02:34
we got a distraction.
02:36
- We know that there's some family issues,
02:39
not only with his dad there,
02:40
but his brother has had a lot of run-ins here
02:43
that have not looked good for the quarterback.
02:46
But again, he's a different guy.
02:48
I think we've understood that.
02:49
- Newswire, only on Sports Grid.
02:53
(upbeat music)
02:56
- Jordan Clarkson.
02:59
Jordan Clarkson is a walking bucket.
03:04
He will shoot you in games, he will shoot you out of games.
03:08
But he is the perfect sixth man
03:12
for a team looking for bench production.
03:17
A guy that can go get his own shot.
03:20
- Betting above the rim, only on Sports Grid.
03:24
(upbeat music)
03:27
- The fact that they're gonna try to run Pacheco
03:30
down San Francisco's throat,
03:32
as much as McCaffrey's gonna get the ball for San Francisco,
03:36
I think both of them will play well.
03:39
- I think if the Niners win this game, Scotty,
03:41
I think McCaffrey is the guy.
03:43
I think he has a monster game for the Niners to win that.
03:46
I think it's gonna have his fingerprints all over it.
03:49
If it does happen.
03:50
- Pharrell coast to coast, only on Sports Grid.
03:55
It's smarter to be on Sports Grid.
04:00
Your 24/7 sports wagering network.
04:04
- Well, look at the hype and the early line.
04:06
- And what it all means, individual success.
04:09
- You should have tried to get something
04:10
for Anthony Rendon, not fought at this deadline.
04:13
- Newswire.
04:13
- We're getting a lot of news, trades, cuts,
04:16
and some movement in terms of starting quarterbacks.
04:18
- Pharrell coast to coast.
04:20
- I wanna watch great players make buckets and win games.
04:23
- Game time decisions.
04:25
- You have no idea what the heck the Blazers are doing
04:29
and what they're doing.
04:29
- In game live, prime time.
04:32
- Just put them yard for a grand slam.
04:35
- The bottom of the fourth inning
04:36
in a 12 to two baseball game.
04:38
We got football scores going on at Wrigley right now.
04:41
- Sports Ring late night.
04:42
- That was good betting.
04:42
We waited for one and a half, we got paid.
04:44
- Yeah.
04:45
- Didn't like the two and a half, jumped on it.
04:47
- Don't take it weeks off in golf betting, ever.
04:49
These are the best weeks to bet.
04:52
- It's smarter to be on Sports Grid.
04:55
(upbeat music)
04:58
(upbeat music)
05:01
- Back at the Bet MGM Sportsbook,
05:20
Mike Blewett here with you all week.
05:23
Sports Grid Live from Las Vegas.
05:25
We'll have Donnie Rightside coming on in the next segment.
05:27
But what we want to talk about right now
05:29
is the quarterback comparisons.
05:30
How did they get here?
05:31
What do these stats look like?
05:32
Brock Purdy's regular season stats, 4,280 yards,
05:36
a 69% completion percentage,
05:39
31 touchdowns to 11 interceptions.
05:42
A tremendous season that found him
05:44
right in the thick of the MVP discussion.
05:46
Probably going the way of Lamar Jackson,
05:48
but Brock Purdy put himself in position
05:50
to win that award this season.
05:51
Incredible second year season.
05:53
I hate calling him Mr. Irrelevant.
05:55
I know people like that.
05:56
I find it disrespectful for a guy that nearly won the MVP
06:00
and finds himself as a starter on a Super Bowl,
06:02
a potential Super Bowl champion.
06:04
So his playoff stats, 519 yards completion percentage, 61%.
06:09
Playing against better defenses, yes,
06:12
but the 69 to 61% dip,
06:15
was that impacted solely by the weather
06:17
that we saw against Green Bay?
06:19
Weather not a factor here.
06:21
Good thing for Brock Purdy.
06:22
You remember the two gloves, no glove,
06:24
what's happening in the rain in Brock
06:26
was a little ineffective early on in that game.
06:29
So two touchdowns to one pick so far in their two games.
06:34
In his career, five playoff games over a thousand yards,
06:37
63% completion percentage,
06:39
five touchdowns to one interception.
06:42
I think though, I have to be honest
06:44
about my thoughts about Brock Purdy.
06:46
I'm rooting for the guy.
06:47
I love the story.
06:48
For years here, I've covered college football
06:52
and pro football for SportsGrid.
06:55
And I remember Joe Lisi, our buddy on college football
06:58
and pro football today,
07:00
we were there for Brock Purdy's big breakout season
07:02
at Iowa State and he and Brees Hall were humming.
07:05
It was a great story to follow.
07:07
The Cyclones were a fun team to follow
07:09
and to see him now in this position,
07:11
I never would have predicted that,
07:13
but it's great to see him in this position.
07:15
But what are his player props look like
07:18
for this upcoming week?
07:19
Well, right now, Bet MGM Sportsbook,
07:22
it's a handy dandy sheet.
07:24
Total right now, total yardage, 245 and a half,
07:27
total passing touchdowns, one and a half,
07:30
minus 125 to the over.
07:33
Interceptions, a half, again, minus 115.
07:36
So expectations even, like, does he not throw one?
07:39
Does he throw one?
07:40
Obviously this is a team that relies heavily
07:43
on their running backs.
07:43
So how many passing attempts do you see from Brock Purdy?
07:46
Which that line is set at 31 and a half.
07:49
His rushing yards, which Brock Purdy,
07:51
probably the single most valuable part of his game
07:54
against the Lions, not something we're expecting to see,
07:57
over 50 yards rushing for Brock Purdy
07:59
in the NFC Championship game.
08:01
So there's your lines, that's what you're looking at.
08:04
I think the only way you're getting over
08:05
on the Brock Purdy passing attempts
08:07
is if they're trailing by a significant amount.
08:10
I don't think the Niners like to get thrown off their game.
08:13
They absolutely like to play from in front,
08:15
but you'd have to be in a serious position
08:17
for the Niners to be throwing that many times,
08:21
a 10-point deficit, potentially.
08:24
The Niners are down seven points, it's not panic time.
08:26
They can run their way back into it
08:28
with arguably the best running back in the league.
08:31
But I have to be honest about my thoughts now
08:33
about Brock Purdy.
08:34
Like I said, I'm rooting for him,
08:37
but all the questions that I had about the Niners
08:41
going into this season were related to Brock Purdy.
08:45
I thought the roster was good enough.
08:46
I thought they were certainly clearly good enough
08:48
to win the NFC and overtake the Eagles,
08:51
but it's about these pressure-filled games.
08:54
He has proven that he can pull it off,
08:57
but in the biggest game with the biggest spotlight,
09:00
he's passed the test so far,
09:02
but can he do it against his Steve Spagnuolo defense
09:07
that will throw every single thing at him?
09:09
I think he'll always have that question,
09:11
as will Kyle Shanahan, hanging over his head
09:14
until he's holding up that Lombardi trophy.
09:16
I absolutely think it's a possibility, but it's still.
09:20
Brock Purdy against Patrick Mahomes
09:22
is an important question to ask, and can he outplay him?
09:25
Can he play well enough to complement
09:27
the rest of his offense to win this game?
09:30
I think it's still a question that rattles around in my head.
