00:00Who is going to win Super Bowl 59 and I do think the

00:06fun and fascinating aspect of this, Kansas City run

00:11despite the

00:13consistent success

00:15they are never checking into these games as

00:19Massive favorites and in a few instances not even as favorites. It's not a disrespect thing

00:26Whomever comes out of the NFC is always an incredibly worthy challenger

00:31But this year it is incredible to see it shift

00:34I think many would tell you that two years ago's KC group or last year's KC

00:42Group is better than this year's. I know this year's team has only lost the one game

00:46But the way they played and the way they got it done was more impressive. I

00:52May be on an island

00:53but I would tell you this year's Eagles team is better than the one from two years ago and yet two years ago the

01:02Eagles were favored in this game. I think some of today's number is

01:08KC is kind of beaten everyone down is it's just we're not making the Chiefs plus

01:14We're gonna get our KC bets. We'll get our Eagles bets as well

01:18But we don't need this to be lopsided the game is likely going to see if anybody's betting the spread

01:25The covering side be the winning side Chiefs by one Chiefs. It's just not very likely

01:31It's possible. So I think they decided to

01:36Sidestep the oh boy. I have to take KC. It's plus 105

01:40It's plus 110 that doesn't stop me though from feeling as if the wrong team is favored

01:46I make the point of how we saw the line priced two Super Bowls ago

01:50I'll make the point of how we saw these teams viewed with the Baltimore Ravens on deck

01:54Philly went to Baltimore and caught only three and a half points the Chiefs in a look-ahead line for an AFC title game

02:00We're going to be a home underdog the Baltimore you do a little bit of my favorite spread of math there

02:05And it suggests the Eagles should be small but favored within this football game

02:10Also, I think they're the best team within this league. It's not a slight though

02:14I understand the position that the Chiefs have put the books in I'll go to you first on

02:20do you feel that Kansas City is booked as a favorite because they're the better team or maybe because

02:26We're not gonna give you Chiefs at a plus price

02:29It's hard to play it out because it's not like one of these teams got lucky to get into the Super Bowl like I could

02:34Sure, you say like the Eagles are the better football team warrant a priced appropriately

02:37But also understand this what would have been the difference?

02:39Anyway, minus one and a half one way minus one and a half the other way

02:41It's virtually a coin flip either way

02:43But I do agree with the sentiment that the Kansas City Chiefs are one back-to-back Super Bowls

02:47All they did Joe this year was win football games and he said well they lost late

02:51Well, yes, they didn't play any starters in week 18 against the Denver Broncos had they played their starters

02:55They probably would have beaten that team as well

02:57I did agree at the opening number that the Chiefs to be a slight favorite here and I even picked

03:01Minus one was my final number on the Super Bowl and some books are showing now a minus one in the favor of the Kansas

03:08City Chiefs, but for me there was no disrespect to the Eagles being underdogs in this game

03:11There would have been no disrespect to Kansas City

03:13I think they're looking at this as a virtual coin flip and now that we talk about Joe the market

03:17Percentages which are almost 50-50 now on betting from both sides proved they nailed this number and the respect factor

03:24Yeah, the Pat Mahomes factor right the going for the fourth, you know Super Bowl for him almost like Tom Brady, right?

03:32We talked about the luxury tax and the betting tax on the Yankees and the Cowboys you always pay up

03:37well in the Super Bowl type of setting you're gonna get the Kansas City Chiefs as a slight favorite even when it's an evenly matched game or

03:44Potentially the stronger team is in the Philadelphia Eagles again. We're not talking about two or three

03:49We're talking basically a pick them right here

03:51We see, you know on fan do one and a half star are ones popping up in other books

03:56So again, it's fair slight favorite. It's because of my homes and because it's a Super Bowl

04:02But again, you know styles make fights we'll see how this game plays out in just about seven hours
