Let's take a look at the AFC, look at the updated odds, and see if we can take a stab
00:06
at this, see if we can figure out somebody that's not minus money to win the AFC.
00:10
The Chiefs are the only ones that identify as minus money to be the number one seed in
00:16
the AFC, followed by Buffalo, Pittsburgh, the Chargers, no thanks, Houston Texans are,
00:23
yeah, very, very big long shots, 33 to 1.
00:26
So it's Kansas City or Buffalo, maybe Pittsburgh gets out, where's Baltimore?
00:30
I think I like Baltimore more than the Chargers and Texans.
00:36
The AFC, I like Buffalo right now as my number one team.
00:40
That's not shocking anybody, right?
00:41
Kansas City is pulling stuff out of their behind, right?
00:43
I mean, it's almost like when you watch the game now, all right, how are they gonna win
00:47
this one?
00:48
Blocked field goal or pass interference, oh my god, they snapped it and hit the quarterback's
00:51
chest, I mean, it's like, you gotta, this doesn't happen, this is all movie endings
00:56
here.
00:57
Yet they're doing this week after week after week, I do kind of think it ends this weekend,
01:00
by the way, where maybe the Chargers put that to bed here, they beat the Chiefs, and Kansas
01:04
City's gonna be a little tough here, but I'll take the points over Chargers this weekend.
01:07
I don't, I just said, I don't want to bet against Pat Mahomes, Greg, I don't, you know,
01:12
he's great, he does pull wins, and winning's the only thing that matters, right?
01:16
Nothing else matters here but winning bowl games here, and he wins bowl games.
01:20
But that being said, I think Buffalo's the better team here, Baltimore, I think they've
01:23
got some, they'd be my third-place team here, they've got some issues here they have to
01:27
figure out.
01:28
Pittsburgh, you know, it's funny, Pittsburgh and the AFC, Minnesota and the NFC, probably
01:34
not giving them enough love for what they've done this season, I just don't think they're
01:36
as good as the other teams, I just don't, I just don't see that, you know, Houston I'm
01:41
not, no, Chargers, I don't see them winning at all, Denver fun with Bo Nix and nobody
01:45
else going there.
01:46
Buffalo, for me, is my number one team, if I was, I don't even know if Chiefs are number
01:51
two.
01:52
I think Baltimore still might be that number two team, but the last couple weeks have not
01:55
been pretty.
01:56
I mean, they still have Lamar Jackson, you know, like, I don't know, like, I still feel
02:00
like, you know, and the reason why Baltimore is down below some of these other teams and
02:06
don't get talked about as much is because of this narrative that Lamar Jackson hasn't
02:10
been able to get to the Super Bowl, and he hasn't been able to get to the big game, but,
02:14
you know, I mean, I don't see it that way, I still think he is one of, if not the best
02:19
quarterbacks in the NFL, and I still feel like eventually he's going to get there and
02:24
eventually he's going to win one.
02:25
Is there a sleeper team beyond that, though?
02:28
Some people think, oh, Denver, oh, they could do some damage, I know you mentioned Bo Nix,
02:31
I don't know, I don't see it that way, I think once Denver goes on the road anywhere, I don't
02:37
see them winning big.
02:38
The Chargers are good enough to win one playoff game, are they good enough to win two?
02:41
I don't think so, Houston's a disappointment.
02:44
I guess, to me, the race is Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore, and I'm never going to count
02:50
out Pittsburgh, because they are the kind of team that can win any way you give it to
02:54
them, 13-10, 41-30, we saw that the other day, so that's it for me, I can't take a big
03:01
long shot on the AFC, NFC I'm going to, but AFC I don't see it.
03:06
I agree with you, out of the four teams you mentioned, I don't see any of them, anybody
03:09
else, I mean, listen, it's a tournament, could someone get hot, sure, but those teams,
03:15
I guess the team, by the way, would be Houston, if I was going to take a long shot, maybe
03:18
they figured things out, they had the bye week here, Stroud starts to play better, we
03:22
just talked about Joe Mixon, how great he's been here, you know, Niko Collins is back
03:26
now, they can outscore people, I don't think the defense is going to get much better.
