00:00Chiefs and the Texans on Saturday afternoon in Arrowhead, a 430 p.m. Eastern time kick,

00:06something Houston is all too familiar with. Inside Arrowhead Stadium, a playoff atmosphere

00:13that Kansas City well understands. After a week off, earning the one seed and a bye,

00:20the Chiefs are greater than a touchdown favorite at home against the Houston Texans with the lowest

00:25total throughout the entirety of this second round of the postseason, only at 41 and a half.

00:32Joe, the Texans, as they did a season ago, went outright as a two and a half point home underdog

00:37throughout wild card weekend to earn this spot in the AFC divisional round. I think the natural

00:44question is, can the Texans keep this game within margin? And if so, is there a realistic path

00:51that Houston might be able to play spoiler and upset the two-time reigning Super Bowl champs?

00:58Yeah, no. I just, Houston, to me, even in a, what, 20-point win against the Chargers,

01:08at some point, Stroud in the offense, if you believe they're going to have any shot at this,

01:14you have to believe that offensively they can finally figure it out and be able to run the

01:19ball, be able to protect Stroud, and be able to take some shots down the field. And yes,

01:25they have been decimated that receiving core by injuries, but now they've become so reliant on

01:31Nico Collins. It's ridiculous. And any quality defense is, they're going to have their hands

01:39full. And there is no better one than coming into this game at Arrowhead with Kansas City.

01:45And listen, you're not turning Patrick Mahomes over four times. He is not Justin Herbert here.

01:51This is a team that, this isn't even one of the best Chiefs teams that we've seen,

01:56and yet they're still 15-2 either way here, Ben. And that tells you everything you need to know.

02:01Plus, they're two home wins away from a shot at NFL history and a possible third

02:08championship in a row. Extra time to prepare for Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. And oh yeah,

02:16they finally look like, you know, they've been able to figure out how to use Xavier Worthy,

02:21how to use Isaiah Pacheco, DeAndre Hopkins, the list goes on. Yeah, this is what the Chiefs is

02:29all about. This would be like betting against Tom Brady in this spot here for over a decade.

02:35How well did that work out for people waiting for Brady to fail? It ain't happening with Mahomes

02:40against this Houston team either. Great defense, but the defense is not going to be enough to get

02:46you to go to Arrowhead and beat Patrick Mahomes. I think this is probably the blowout of the weekend.
