A Saturday doubleheader in week number 16 of this NFL season is
00:08
tomorrow. We talked about the game in Baltimore between the
00:11
Steelers and the Ravens. That's the second of our two kicking
00:15
around 430 PM Eastern time. The first game at 1 PM Eastern
00:20
inside Arrowhead. It blew it early in the week. We thought
00:23
Mahomes, that being Patrick, might not play in this game,
00:27
might not play next week on a short week on Christmas Day
00:31
Wednesday. His status for the remainder of the regular season
00:34
uncertain with a right high ankle sprain. But then the guy
00:39
was out there at practice in full all week. The odds started
00:42
to change in yesterday to confirmation. Patrick Mahomes
00:46
is going to start tomorrow on a short week Saturday against the
00:50
Houston Texans in Kansas City. Now a three and a half point
00:54
spread in favor of the Chiefs. Total still low at 41 and a
00:58
hook. How effective, Bluett, do you think Mahomes will be? How
01:02
does it affect the game plan for the Chiefs against the
01:05
Texans? I don't really think all that much. Full participant
01:10
yesterday. We've seen a lot of this from him in the past. I
01:15
don't think it's any type of exaggeration on his part or
01:20
histrionics on this part as some people suggest. He took a
01:23
brutal hit last week. He was lucky to avoid a major injury.
01:27
I think he knows how to play even in slightly limited
01:30
fashion and shoot, he's won Super Bowls playing in this
01:34
manner. So I don't really think it impacts him much at all. Any
01:38
doubt you have about the Chiefs is based on their body of work
01:42
this year, a season in which they've only lost one game. So
01:46
I consider this to be a low scoring affair. Joe and I get
01:51
to watch a lot of the Texans and we know their offense just
01:54
isn't clicking week in week out and they're going up against
01:58
the Chiefs defense where I feel like this is an ideal scenario
02:01
for them. At home, short week, Stroud's got to go out there
02:05
and prove it and I don't know that he can. So it's a low
02:08
number but I could see us getting under that. Maybe a 20
02:11
to 17 Chiefs win. That hook though scares me. I could see a
02:15
field goal win for the Chiefs and the three and a half is
02:18
tough. I think a really interesting live betting
02:20
opportunity. I like the Chiefs to win the game, but if Houston
02:23
gets up early, you're going to bet it back the other way.
