00:00But the Chiefs are going for a three-peat, and I think they're going to do it.

00:04And I don't know if that's a hot take. I don't know which one's the hot take.

00:06They're going to do it. They're not going to do it. It's never been done.

00:10So Chiefs versus the Field, you're taking the Chiefs?

00:12I'm taking the Chiefs. I'm taking the Chiefs, thinking they're going to three—

00:15Keith, they were so bad, by their standards, so bad offensively last year.

00:21And they've added to that core.

00:23They were the 2018 Patriots run, where you're like,

00:25they're not going to win the Super Bowl, and then they win the Super Bowl.

00:28And then you're like, why would you ever bet against them?

00:30And by the time the Super Bowl rolled around, hopefully most of you had smartened up.

00:35I know I certainly did. I'm like, I can't bet against the Chiefs anymore.

00:37That guy has a wagon.

00:38The Chiefs were a plus-money line every week.

00:40They were dogs.

00:40Every week.

00:41And they won every single time.

00:42Including against this Baltimore team.

00:43See, I think in that scenario, I would still take the Field.

00:46You know, part of it is, it's never been done before.

00:49I think they are somewhat flawed.

00:51We saw it last year. They were by no means a perfect team.

00:53But then yet, week to week, especially come playoff time,

00:56you're kind of crazy to bet against them.

00:57That's why I go back and forth on it.

00:59Because I don't know if they have enough in the tank.

01:02I wonder...

01:03I keep waiting for Travis Kelsey to not be as effective.

01:06And we talked about this the other day.

01:07Regular season, he kind of wasn't.

01:08Like, regular season, you're like,

01:09alright, this might be old man Kelsey who's good every few weeks.

01:14But then the playoffs, you're like,

01:15alright, you can throw to him every time apparently,

01:16and he's going to kill you in the playoffs.

01:17Nobody can guard him.

01:18Right.

01:19So, and then they have plenty on defense, right?

01:21Like, they lost Lajarius Sneed, but I agree.

01:24They have a lot on defense.

01:25I mean, Chris Jones is a killer when he wants to be.

01:27So yeah, they are a tough team to pick against.

01:30And what they've done so far has been insane.

01:32The Patrick Mahomes run has been unbelievable.

01:35So, I think they're in a three-peat.

01:36Last year was almost a found-money championship.

01:39They should have won last year with how mediocre they were on offense.

01:42But, as you said, they pieced it together as they went.

01:46They figured it out.

01:47They won a title.

01:48And I think they got better this offseason.

01:50And you still have the best player in the sport.

01:52Whether he wins MVP or not every single year,

01:55he's the best player in the sport.

01:56He's arguably the best in the history of the game.

01:58So, Chiefs three-peat, yes.

02:01Chiefs over the field, yes.

02:03That would be my pick.

02:03You're taking the field.

02:04I'm going to take the field.

02:05I think part of it is the AFC, like it was last year, is loaded.

02:09It's even better this year if you look at it.

02:10Because I think Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers are going to be really improved

02:15because of the head coach.

02:16So, now you have, I think you have competition in 13 teams, maybe?

02:2212 or 13 teams in the AFC.

02:24And all of the best quarterbacks, essentially, are in the AFC.

02:28And it doesn't mean that Mahomes doesn't have the advantage every time.

02:31But just that defense has to stop Lamar tonight.

02:34Then they're going to have to stop Joe Burrow.

02:35They're going to have to stop Josh Allen.

02:36I think Aaron Rodgers is going to bounce back.

02:37So, there's all these different guys.
