00:00Let's talk those divisional favorites around the National Football League. We start in the AFC.

00:04Once again, the Bills, a hefty favorite. The strongest of all of our favorites in this

00:09conference, minus 220 to win the AFC East. The Ravens, minus 140 to win the AFC North.

00:15The Texans, plus 140 to win the AFC South. And the Kansas City Chiefs, at minus 150 to win the

00:22AFC West. Donnie, everybody on that screen has at least won that division two consecutive years.

00:28Buffalo, five times in a row in the AFC East. The Chiefs, nine seasons consecutively in the AFC

00:35West. But right before the break, you said there is a team in the AFC that you think might present

00:41some value or is maybe underpriced. Which team? Which division? AFC North, Pittsburgh Steelers,

00:487-1 price here. And I'm not a Mike Tomlin lover at the point where it's like he's going to win 13,

00:5214 games and make a Super Bowl run. You take a look at price points and how effective they can

00:56be. A 7-1 price where the understanding is, they're going to get a veteran quarterback in

01:01here or they're going to draft a young, talented guy. Let's just say Shador Sanders falls down,

01:05they make a trade-up to get him. That price point at 7-1, even with a rookie, I would buy into that.

01:09If they get Aaron Rodgers at 7-1 with that roster, I'm buying into that. And again, understand this,

01:15the tickets for the Futures are meant to make money here. So if you're saying,

01:18Donnie, that's so stupid, the Steelers will never win it. Well, understand this, at a 7-1 price here

01:23to win the division, I'm not talking about the Super Bowl. I'm talking about two weeks to go in

01:27an NFL season where the Pittsburgh Steelers are right in it to win that division, where that

01:32ticket made sense and a payoff. Now, if they do go with Russell Wilson comes back, no, I don't like

01:37that. But for me, I think the Steelers understand the magnitude here. They're not in a position

01:42we're saying we're tearing it down. They signed DK Metcalf, brought him over in a trade. They have

01:46talent on defense and on offense. They're not looking to go with a bridge quarterback who they

01:52don't think can get them over the hump, which means playoffs and a playoff victory. And if I'm

01:57looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers and let's just say it's Aaron Rodgers at a 7-1 price point,

02:02the Bengals are ahead of them at plus 210. They missed the playoffs last year with everybody

02:08they're signing right now. And the Baltimore Ravens love them. With Lamar Jackson being

02:12healthy, they probably do win the division. I just think that price point for the Steelers at 7-1,

02:16not a Super Bowl, not an AFC championship, just a division at 7-1, no, that's too low.

02:22It's too low.
