00:00Here are the odds right now for where that latest check is.

00:04As we have said, Donnie, not all that much of a change,

00:08but slight movement on the money line.

00:10Minus $1.24 for the past 48 hours,

00:13now back up by six cents to minus $1.30 in favor of KC.

00:19Still a point and a half, that is the spread.

00:21Total remains the same at 49 and a hook.

00:25But the amount of money in bets on Kansas City

00:29on the FanDuel Sportsbook, at the very least,

00:31in terms of the spread component,

00:33continues to dwindle as well.

00:36We're in that low, we're talking a couple of cents

00:38on the money line, so let's have some more fun.

00:41We start with our first storyline, rated from one to 10.

00:47So rate the storyline, Donnie.

00:49The Kansas City Chiefs trying to make history

00:52and go for a three-peat to become the first ever team

00:56to win three consecutive Super Bowl championships

00:59in NFL history.

01:00Now, from an NFL landscape, rating that would be a 10.

01:04Why?

01:05Because nobody's ever done it before.

01:06But from a national landscape from fans,

01:09I'm gonna put the three-peat at a three here.

01:11And the reason I bring that up is,

01:12it's not because I'm an Eagles fan.

01:13Hear me out on this.

01:15Like, growing up for me in the Philadelphia region,

01:18as we like to say, Ben, the national teams,

01:21like the Chicago Bulls, like when they went three-peat,

01:24you know, Jordan takes a year off three-peat again,

01:27they had a lot of fans and a lot of fans in areas

01:28that you're not supposed to have fans

01:29in if you have a rival team.

01:31Like, I'm pretty sure in New York City,

01:32a lot of Knicks fans were actually Bulls fans here

01:35growing up and the same thing nationally.

01:37Same thing, let's just go back with,

01:38let's just say the Lakers who had a three-peat, right?

01:40You use them.

01:41Boy, Kobe and Shaq had a lot of fans nationally

01:44where people were tuning in and actually cheering them

01:46on to win their three-peat.

01:48I don't find that with the Kansas City Chiefs.

01:50Like, I respect the Chiefs for what they've done.

01:53Andy Reid is a fantastic head coach.

01:55Patrick Wilmer's a great quarterback.

01:57The storylines are there, but I don't find myself

01:59outside of like Kansas City Chiefs fans going like,

02:02I can't wait to watch the Chiefs win their third in a row

02:05and how great that would be.

02:06It's almost the opposite.

02:07Now, granted, the Eagles tracking as the national team

02:11is funny too because a lot of people don't like

02:13the Philadelphia Eagles because I would assume

02:15if, let's just say, Washington was there,

02:18just as a new team, where it's like,

02:19hey, they're harmless at this point,

02:21they'd have a lot of national fans going like,

02:23please do not let the Kansas City Chiefs win that game.

02:26The same way in 2017, it's like, hey,

02:28hopefully the asteroid hits the earth

02:30where the Patriots don't win again

02:32and the Eagles don't get their first Super Bowl.

02:33It's miserable either way.

02:35So I do have that, but if I'm just rating it

02:37from a story perspective, from fans tuning into this game,

02:40I don't think many people are rooting

02:42for a three-peat for Kansas City.
