00:00 I know that you feel Pacheco has the chance to have a real standout game here

00:08 against the Niners. Yeah, for if for no other reason that the Chiefs have shown

00:12 that they have become far more concentrated with their offense right?

00:16 This is a Kelsey Pacheco, Rasheed Rice offense right now and Pacheco touching

00:21 the ball 28 times against the Ravens was just yet another game where they

00:26 overloaded him with a number of touches so that he could be successful. It's why

00:30 as we go throughout the morning you'll see I have a lot of Pacheco bets that I

00:34 think could work out. Yeah, I'm taking a look at the running back position in

00:37 this game because I do believe again outside the quarterbacks which always

00:40 the most important thing running backs guys are gonna win this football game

00:43 for me. It's easy to sit here and say Christian McAufrey's gonna have a great

00:46 game. Why? Every week he has a great game it really feels like here. Hover around

00:50 that 90 and a half yard prop here at the Fanville Sportsbook but I think if you

00:53 say to me the key to the football game overall it's probably Isaiah Pacheco. How

00:58 he goes the Chiefs go well Donnie how could that be? You got Travis Kelsey you

01:01 know you also have a great quarterback in Patrick Mahomes but hear me out on

01:04 this. If you're able to establish the running game which means four and a half

01:07 to five yards per carry keep yourself in front of the sticks that's gonna be a

01:11 big shot here for Kansas City and Joe I'm gonna throw it to you on this because

01:13 I would like your opinion as well. If Isaiah Pacheco doesn't run well in this

01:17 game I don't mean usage rate I mean like three yards per carry I don't see a

01:20 pathway to victory for the Kansas City Chiefs. No great point I agree

01:24 wholeheartedly I think you can make the argument guys that Isaiah Pacheco is

01:28 more important than Christian McAufrey in terms of this ballgame because of how

01:32 the Chiefs won in terms of lower scoring games they did score 51 in the win

01:36 against Buffalo but again they want this game in the 20s we all talk about that's

01:41 the MO for Stagnola and that defense keep them in the fourth quarter grind it

01:45 out give Patrick Mahomes an opportunity in terms of manageable third down

01:50 situations if McAufrey doesn't go in this ballgame and let's just say he gets

01:54 shut down for 50 yards he can still catch the football out of the backfield

01:58 there's still George Kittle there IU and Debo Samuel and you could use Debo

02:02 Samuel as it relates to the rushing attack on fly sweeps he's a spark plug

02:07 type of player. Isaiah Pacheco doesn't rush potentially for 89 90 yards in this

02:12 ballgame I think Kansas City is going to be up against it and to Donnie's point

02:15 Kev we talked about usage rate 24 carries in two of the three playoff

02:20 games the other game it was 16 his number is in the area 15 and a half 16

02:25 he needs to hit that number which if he doesn't means Pat Mahomes and that

02:29 offense is trailing potentially all second half.

02:34 (upbeat music)
