00:00So let's get started. And first game of the day in our divisional betting preview is the Texans and Chiefs.

00:09So let's get started here. Chiefs are 8.5 point favorites.

00:15The last total I saw this morning at 5 o'clock in the morning when Sam told us we have a show today was 41.5.

00:26That's the same total? Thanks. 41.5. Chiefs minus 8.5 in this game.

00:35So let's play it out, George. How does this go?

00:38You know, by the way, which game was it?

00:42It was the Buffalo, yes, the Buffalo-Denver game.

00:46You know what? Do you guys want to play this back on the show?

00:48I said that Denver takes a 7-0 lead. The Bills score at 7-3, 10-7.

00:54I couldn't believe it worked out exactly the way that I said it.

00:57George, this is exactly the blueprint for the Buffalo-Denver game.

01:03This is the Chiefs-Texans game. That's what's going to happen, I think, today.

01:07I think the Texans are going to jump on top. They're going to take a 3-0 lead or 7-0 lead.

01:12Everyone laying the points with the Chiefs. It's going to be freaking out.

01:15But they just put you to sleep, man. It's like they put you in that chokehold.

01:18And then it's 7-7. And then it's 10-7. It's 17-7.

01:21And then Stroud goes to pick six. You're like, oh my gosh, I bet the wrong side.

01:25Now, truth be told, Chiefs have been horrible at covering the spread this week.

01:28Do they do it this week against the Texans?

01:32First off, make sure your shoulder's okay. Don't dislocate it.

01:36I never do that. The whole season, I never pat myself on the back.

01:41Anybody who watches SportsGrid, I never—

01:43Is that Sam yelling? Come on. I never do that on this show. Never.

01:47I always say I was wrong, I was wrong. I was really good last week.

01:50I had a really good week.

01:51Sorry. Go ahead.

01:54Listen, Sam, I've been plotting his death since about 6 a.m. this morning when he sent the text.

01:58So really, both ears out with the bathwater here.

02:02Anyway, all year long, it's been the same story with Kansas City.

02:06They win, they don't cover. I think it's the same thing today.

02:09All right? Eight and a half seems a lot.

02:11Hughes is not a bad team, and I don't think Kansas City's a great team, by the way.

02:16I also wonder, Craig, could Kansas City get off to a slow start here?

02:19We want to take the under in the first quarter.

02:21You know, they haven't played since Christmas.

02:23It's literally—it's December 25th. It's three and a half weeks.

02:27It's a long time without playing football here.

02:29So, yeah, I like the Kansas City to win, Houston to cover here.

02:33Lower-scoring game, so I'm going to take the under.

02:35It's a low total, 41 and a half.

02:37All right? Minus one ten, so you're paying the same dues when they take the over or the under here.

02:41I think we'll get a better feel of this game in-game.

02:44But pregame, under, Kansas City to win, Houston to cover.

02:49Kansas City win, Houston to cover.

02:52Hmm. I don't know. I think we're going head-to-head.

02:54All right, I'm going to take the Chiefs. I'm going to take the Chiefs, minus the points.
