00:00the Broncos at home nine and a half point favorites hosting the Kansas City Chiefs is a 39 and a half

00:05over-under. Obviously with the Chiefs having the number one seed locked up it is I don't say just

00:12extremely unlikely but it is an almost absolute certainty that we will not see Patrick Mahomes.

00:19We may not see Isaiah Pacheco. We may not see Travis Kelsey. DeAndre especially DeAndre Hopkins

00:27I wouldn't say no obviously as a veteran get him that rest but they're just not gonna have these

00:31players play. Now some of them may be active. Obviously teams are only allowed to have so many

00:36inactive players so Mahomes may not technically be inactive but he may be dressed but he's just

00:42not gonna be starting. It's gonna be Carson Wentz and it's gonna be Carson Wentz and the Chiefs who

00:46do still have very good defense going up against Bo Nix and the Broncos who need to win and if they

00:52don't win in order to make the playoffs I believe it's they need to have they need to see the Bengals

01:00and the Dolphins both lose and then that's the only way the Broncos can lose and still make it.

01:06Obviously you don't want to be banking on that you want to control your own destiny.

01:10So the Broncos minus nine and a half I'm not laying minus nine and a half with the Broncos I

01:14still think the Chiefs are a great defense overall and I'll take the nine and a half points with the

01:18Chiefs. The 39 and a half over under is super tough. You would like to think that the Broncos

01:24would show some type of resilience and go out there and score some points but ultimately

01:28the Chiefs offense could still get yards and still get points up against a mediocre Broncos defense

01:35who have kind of fallen off as the season has gone on. They collapsed in the second half against the

01:39Chargers on that Thursday night game three weeks ago and then they just gave up an immense amount

01:47of yards and points to the Bengals. Now this is not to say that Carson Wentz and potential backups

01:52from the Chiefs are the same thing as Joe Burrow with Jamar Chase and Dee Higgins obviously not but

01:5739 and a half especially for that game I think it feels right and I lean on the over don't want

02:03to make a commitment to it now.
