00:00It was Chiefs pick them against the Houston Texans two days ago with the news that Patrick

00:07Mahomes is going to play that thing just shot right back up.

00:10It is Kansas City minus three and a half coming up on Saturday.

00:13What's interesting for me here, Matt, is the total is just 41 and a half points.

00:18I would say not so much because of Kansas City, but because of Houston, Matt, like Houston

00:24has had just such trouble scoring this season.

00:27Joe Mixon's had a really nice year for them, and it feels like, at least for me, that D'Amico

00:31Ryans has just basically said he's the only thing that is consistent.

00:35Let's just keep giving them the ball.

00:36You know what happens when you run the ball.

00:38These games tend to go under.

00:39Yeah, for sure.

00:40And that's the way I look at this classic sort of ugly Saturday matchup.

00:44I don't think two teams that you know are bound for the playoffs, obviously with Patrick

00:48Mahomes banged up.

00:49I don't think we're going to see the Chiefs putting their foot on the gas pedal a lot.

00:54They're going to do what they do, and that's just enough to win.

00:56If that's the case, the Texans aren't a horrible team by any means.

01:00They're going to win their division again, but they also just haven't been a great team

01:03this year.

01:04And like you said, they run the ball really well.

01:06Joe Mixon's been really good.

01:08And then they're getting some good situational red zone play at times with Nico Collins stepping

01:12up.

01:13They might get the occasional tank down big play, but for the most part, that offensive

01:16spark just hasn't been there like it was last year with CJ Stroud for whatever reason.

01:21He's capable of it.

01:22That's why, you know, if you were an under better, I think you'd, you know, you got Patrick

01:27Mahomes and CJ Stroud in the same game.

01:28I think you're going to be a little worried till that final whistle.

01:30But at the same time, this game just looks like it's set up to be low scoring.

01:34And like you said, that total is very low.

01:37But at the same time, I just, I just don't expect a lot of fireworks.

01:40I mean, Kansas City had trouble with, with Cleveland last week, and it's not as if Patrick

01:45Mahomes was injured at halftime.

01:46He wasn't injured until well into the second half.

01:49And they still sort of just limped along and did what they had to do.

01:52And they won the game and moved on with their lives.

01:55And over betters were left trying to pick up the pieces of theirs, I guess.
