00:00
Up Carson Wentz is on the slate today. You gotta be kidding me big screen only maybe at all
00:04
The TV's got this game here might change the town channel and Denver's out there who needs to see it
00:10
Let's get Wentz the football man. Let's get this guy starting job next season. Is that not what everybody's stealers?
00:17
Are there save that franchise themselves, man? Uh in all seriousness what you do have is
00:24
a simple winning end scenario for the Denver Broncos
00:27
All they have to do is beat the Kansas City Chiefs the Chiefs backups and Denver is home for this football game
00:35
They are up to an 11 and a half point favorite due to travel delays for Kansas City that number climbed if
00:44
Everything has been able to break Denver's way
00:48
everything Joe
00:50
Any chance they don't pull it off. I don't know if they do. I'm taking the Chiefs with the 11 and a half
00:55
I honestly believe that I watched that game play out in terms of Cincinnati
00:59
Sean Payton took a very conservative approach in terms of the first half
01:03
It wasn't until Joe Burrow and Cincinnati pushed tempo in the fourth quarter that Bo Nix had to get outside of the comfort zone again
01:09
What type of approach does Denver take today? They're nine and seven overall. They need the game
01:14
Are they going to allow Donnie Bo Nix to throw 25 to 30 times in this ball game?
01:19
Up against backups for Kansas City that still has competent play in the back end that that is the one thing
01:25
Do you believe if you're back in Denver, do you think that they could score 24 points?
01:30
Do you think that Kansas City can't score because that's what you're asking basically 24 14
01:36
You get the number and you cover this line
01:38
So again, i'm not sure that Denver can get to 24 points with this offense
01:43
I don't know if Sean Payton wants to open it up that much. I think it's short to intermediate throws
01:47
Don't make mistakes
01:49
Don't force turnovers with the rookie quarterback and put your team in a position to potentially steal it
01:55
Just the way they did in arrowhead again
01:57
I'd be shocked if they get over their team total of 24 today
02:01
the only thing is
02:02
if they don't get over it means they probably didn't need to at this point because you watch the game last night and there are
02:06
Some correlations that you can make and some that you can't cleveland did have starters on the football field yesterday
02:11
Kansas city not gonna have any starters on the football field
02:13
The one thing that we always worried about kansas city entering into the season was can they figure out their tackle situation?
02:18
They're basically playing fooney as a guard at left tackle. He's not there
02:21
So now you're on third and fourth and maybe practice squad guys on the tackle position trying to protect carson
02:26
Wentz with carson steel as your top running back today that the denver defense should be able to eat today
02:32
So just to get back to the point where I do think denver can get into the 20s
02:35
I don't think they need to today
02:36
The one thing I will say though is kansas city is going to call a pretty good game for carson wentz because why?
02:41
There's no win or lose. It doesn't matter. Let's hope nobody gets injured
02:44
But the same thing I love about spagnola's defense
02:46
He's going to call that defense
02:48
But it's a lot different when you have your top pass rushers and your top defensive tackle out
02:51
Probably two of your top three linebackers out and maybe let's just say there's six or seven dbs
02:55
Your top three won't play in this game. This should be pick and choose for denver
02:59
It's just imagine of what we're getting out of kansas city now for me some of the profits we'll go over later in the show
03:04
I hope kansas city shows up joe
03:05
I hope kansas city's 14 plus points to keep denver activated for that game
03:09
But I would be very surprised if at the end of this ball game
03:12
We're not looking at at least a touchdown or more victory from denver
03:14
Just because they're playing their starters full go and kansas city's playing all backups today. Yeah, look they certainly donny
03:21
Denver is not a 10 and a half point favorite by state. Correct, right? Yeah, but
03:27
Yeah, uh, this is the third time in the mahomes year
03:30
I believe it is that reed has been able to bench his guys
03:32
Uh one time he went to henny and then one time he went to gabbard
03:37
This is not a bit
03:38
Carson wentz is a hundred times the quarterback that those two guys are the last time wentz got a start last year
03:45
week 18
03:46
Right going for the rams throws two runs for 50 yards rushes another one in
03:52
Carson wentz is a starting level quarterback in this league despite what people have said for a very long time
04:00
Health and the decision to draft hurts got him out of philadelphia
04:03
The madness that is the indianapolis cults got him out of indianapolis
04:08
He was not good in washington. I won't pretend he was
04:12
Has anyone seen how washington looked until they finally got rid of ron rivera ron rivera was not good for that organization
04:19
During his tenure there
04:20
So to me donny, I think my issue and why i'm on kansas city today without any hesitation at the 11 and a half
04:29
If this was a fully healthy football game, what does this number look like?
04:34
Kansas city is laying
04:36
Six
04:37
less at denver less
04:39
a fully healthy four
04:41
Yeah, I mean if you had kansas city all in like they had to win this game without patrick
04:45
Well, petro has had like a hamstring injury, right? We back for the playoffs, but can't play in this game
04:49
I think that's about a four or five point line
04:51
So you're saying wentz with all the normal wentz with everybody in there that line will be about four to five points
04:56
It still is a favorite for them
