So let's get started. And first game of the day in our divisional betting preview is the Texans and Chiefs.
00:09
So let's get started here. Chiefs are 8.5 point favorites.
00:15
The 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.
00:26
That's the same total? Thanks. 41.5. Chiefs minus 8.5 in this game.
00:35
So let's play it out, George. How does this go?
00:38
You know, by the way, which game was it?
00:42
It was the Buffalo, yes, the Buffalo-Denver game.
00:46
You know what? Do you guys want to play this back on the show?
00:48
I said that Denver takes a 7-0 lead. The Bills score at 7-3, 10-7.
00:54
I couldn't believe it worked out exactly the way that I said it.
00:57
George, this is exactly the blueprint for the Buffalo-Denver game.
01:03
This is the Chiefs-Texans game. That's what's going to happen, I think, today.
01:07
I think the Texans are going to jump on top. They're going to take a 3-0 lead or 7-0 lead.
01:12
Everyone laying the points with the Chiefs. It's going to be freaking out.
01:15
But they just put you to sleep, man. It's like they put you in that chokehold.
01:18
And then it's 7-7. And then it's 10-7. It's 17-7.
01:21
And then Stroud goes to pick six. You're like, oh my gosh, I bet the wrong side.
01:25
Now, truth be told, Chiefs have been horrible at covering the spread this week.
01:28
Do they do it this week against the Texans?
01:32
First off, make sure your shoulder's okay. Don't dislocate it.
01:36
I never do that. The whole season, I never pat myself on the back.
01:41
Anybody who watches SportsGrid, I never—
01:43
Is that Sam yelling? Come on. I never do that on this show. Never.
01:47
I always say I was wrong, I was wrong. I was really good last week.
01:50
I had a really good week.
01:51
Sorry. Go ahead.
01:54
Listen, Sam, I've been plotting his death since about 6 a.m. this morning when he sent the text.
01:58
So really, both ears out with the bathwater here.
02:02
Anyway, all year long, it's been the same story with Kansas City.
02:06
They win, they don't cover. I think it's the same thing today.
02:09
All right? Eight and a half seems a lot.
02:11
Hughes is not a bad team, and I don't think Kansas City's a great team, by the way.
02:16
I also wonder, Craig, could Kansas City get off to a slow start here?
02:19
We want to take the under in the first quarter.
02:21
You know, they haven't played since Christmas.
02:23
It's literally—it's December 25th. It's three and a half weeks.
02:27
It's a long time without playing football here.
02:29
So, yeah, I like the Kansas City to win, Houston to cover here.
02:33
Lower-scoring game, so I'm going to take the under.
02:35
It's a low total, 41 and a half.
02:37
All right? Minus one ten, so you're paying the same dues when they take the over or the under here.
02:41
I think we'll get a better feel of this game in-game.
02:44
But pregame, under, Kansas City to win, Houston to cover.
02:49
Kansas City win, Houston to cover.
02:52
Hmm. I don't know. I think we're going head-to-head.
02:54
All right, I'm going to take the Chiefs. I'm going to take the Chiefs, minus the points.
