00:00The Chiefs are 13-1, they're two games in front of Buffalo with only three left to hold

00:11on to that number one overall seed in the AFC.

00:14It was minus 195 on Monday, it's now minus 260.

00:20Of course, Buffalo has that head-to-head tiebreaker, should both teams end with the same record.

00:25So DRS, a buy or sell question to you.

00:29The Chiefs need to be the one seed more than the Bills do.

00:33What do you say?

00:35It's a slight buy on this one, like it's not an all-the-way, because the reason I say that,

00:38you can just go back to last year, oh, the Chiefs, they always have home food advantage,

00:41that's the only way they actually get the Super Bowls.

00:44Did you watch last year, where after beating the Dolphins at home in Arrowhead, they go

00:47on the road and it's like, they can't beat the Buffalo Bills there.

00:49Oh, they beat them, oh, now the Ravens, boy, it's payback now, they beat the Ravens on

00:53the road.

00:54Oh, they can't win the Super Bowl.

00:55Oh, there's no way on a semi, it's a neutral site game per se, but not a home game, they

01:00can't win this Super Bowl.

01:01Oh, they beat the 49ers.

01:02So it is a buy for me, technically, that Kansas City needs home field advantage, because I

01:07don't think they're as talented, if that makes sense, as last year.

01:10But there's no way I can sell this and be like, oh, we've never seen Kansas City go

01:13on the road and beat good teams in a way to a Super Bowl.

01:15They just did that last year.

01:18Out slash should, absolute buy, need because of what Donnie just laid out, I'm selling

01:25that.

01:26In fact, I think if you were to flip this question, the Bills need home field advantage

01:30as the one seed, more than the Chiefs do, I'm fully buying into that idea.

01:35But outside of buying into the idea, Donnie, it's a matter of should or will at the end

01:41of this regular season.

01:42Here's what we have at stake for the three teams still in the running.

01:46The Steelers do have a case, but really it feels to be a two-team race.

01:50And again, the Bills have the direct head-to-head tiebreaker advantage over KC.

01:57Buffalo would need Kansas City to drop two of its final three, and the Bills would have

02:01to win out.

02:02Buffalo will be a hefty favorite in all of their final three games, twice against the

02:07Patriots.

02:08Buffalo hosts New England on Sunday as a two-touchdown favorite at the moment.

02:13So DRS, we buy the idea that maybe Kansas City should.

02:17Are you buying the idea that Kansas City will be that one seed in the AFC?

02:22Yes, they will.

02:23And also keep in mind, I do think they beat the Texans now if Patrick Holmes is competent

02:27in the pocket.

02:28There's a good chance they lose to the Steelers on the road.

02:30That's just a tough game.

02:31But game number three, the Broncos, ooh, the Broncos can sting them.

02:34Keep in mind, there are scenarios where the Broncos might not even need that football

02:37game, and if Kansas City needs it, that might be a walkover victory.

02:40So yeah, I'm buying.

02:41They're going to get the number one seed.
