00:00The Steelers are getting the score, grabbing the points, home dogs, I think for Kansas

00:08City.

00:09Patty Mahomes playing a little banged up.

00:11He's always got this ankle injury.

00:12He's always got this ankle injury, but they could be looking towards the postseason.

00:18Steelers come in, catch them napping, and the Ravens going against the Texans.

00:21Well, Joe, we highlighted some of the wildcard contenders, Baltimore, very, very scary.

00:27And you look at Lamar Jackson, what we saw in that press early there yesterday, my guy's

00:32excited.

00:33He's excited to be in the building.

00:34He's excited to see Beyonce in person for the very first time.

00:38And for the Texans, look, they're a little banged up as well.

00:41Tank doll, that's a massive loss for them.

00:44So give me the Ravens to cover there, five and a half.

00:46Love the look of the Steelers at home and what's going to be a bit of an arm wrestle.

00:50We saw plenty.

00:51We're projecting a lot of points in the association.

00:54And for me, Joe, it leans towards the unders in both spots.

00:58I think it's going to be run game heavy where we really don't see that high octane offense

01:02that we're expected to see from a couple of these gun shooters.

01:06So what do you think, Joe?

01:07Are we seeing it eye to eye?

01:08Are you jumping in on Dubs' holiday hamper parlay, if you will, for Wednesday?

01:15I agree.

01:16I would even go, I like the unders in this spot as well with you here, Dubs, especially

01:22the Steelers at home, four and two to the under.

01:26And we know Kansas City is not in a rush to run up and down the field on anybody.

01:31I think their games are only averaging around 42 points.

01:35So I do think the only thing I worry about is the short week.

01:39It usually affects the defenses more than the offenses.

01:43I do think maybe if you're looking to fade a team, maybe you should be looking to fade

01:49the team total of the Houston Texans, because I do think they're going to be going through

01:55it.

01:56They're trying to get, and listen, as it is, they haven't been the most prolific offense

02:01this year.

02:02I think they're going to have, I think they're going to have problems against this much improved

02:06Ravens defense as well.

02:07I think 20 and a half was the team total, Dubs.

02:10I mean, are they getting to 21 points here on this Ravens team?

02:15I don't know.

02:16CJ Stroud has become very predictable.

02:19And so has the Houston Texans team.

02:21So if they ain't scoring early, they ain't scoring late against Baltimore.

02:26So I would look to fade them and go under their team total.
