 the early game, the three o'clock start, and the Chiefs are seven and a half point favorites as well. And, you know, we'll start with the Titans and the Chiefs. When I look at this game, and I was listening to R.J. Bell today on with the guys from 10 to one, it brought up a really good point. He said, you're asking the Titans to win four straight road games. He said, the NFL never schedules a team four straight road games. It's too difficult. He also brought up that what Derrick Henry has done just isn't done. And to have that many carries and that much of a workload for another week, he expects that there's going to be a little bit of a drop off. Now, the Chiefs actually lost to the Titans earlier this year. But I read several stories today in the athletic and they said, everybody says that, you know, with Derrick Henry, keep the ball out of the hands of Patrick Mahomes. And a lot of the guys that I read said, that's not necessarily the case. The Chiefs still have to get the ball. And the Titans have to make sure that every time they have an expanded drive that they do score a touchdown. Because although the Titan defense is gonna be better than what the Chiefs faced last week, the Chiefs is still gonna be able to put up a lot of points. And I think that Tannehill's gonna have to have a game. He has not had a game. He has not had to. He has not had a game in the last two weeks. Is he gonna be able to put up big numbers? Because they're gonna, I think they're gonna, they're gonna have to score about 28 points to even think about beating them. I would think so, Michael. I mean, this is really a tall order. The one thing that you can't ignore is that Kansas City has really struggled historically in these situations that Andy Reed has as well. Correct. But putting that aside, running the football to me is only important when you're protecting a lead. If it becomes a shootout, which occasionally it does with Kansas City, you go back to that great Monday night game last year against the Rams. You go back to the game earlier this season where it just against Houston in the playoffs. How are you supposed to hang with this team? They can go out there and on five plays score a touchdown. And then you're gonna ask Henry to do something that hasn't been done in 10 years logically. And that is to run the ball 30 plus times, three straight weeks. That just does not happen. So if the Titans get a lead, I can see them running the ball, keeping it out of the hands of Mahomes. But if they're gonna exchange points, eventually Tannehill's gonna have to get with the program and start throwing the ball. You just can't play four corners football, get a lead and just kind of milk it. Eventually your quarterback is gonna have to throw to get a first down, start to throw to score some points. And I just don't know if the Titans are equipped to do that in Kansas City where you know that the Chiefs can just stumble into 24 points. And RJ Bell also mentioned another thing. He said that his people have put together a statistical analysis and they consider this year's Kansas City Chiefs team the best team of any NFL team in the last five years. I know, this is where they are right now. And really the Titans, it's kind of a Cinderella story. And they didn't destroy anybody. I mean, they beat a team in New England. That was not the New England Patriots that we know. And it was impressive that they knocked off the Ravens, but they didn't destroy them. The fact that the Ravens lost was the big deal. But you know, they started off up 14-nothing. It looked like they were completely run away. Right. And then the Ravens did hang somewhat close and they were in range, but it was a dominant performance. There's no denying it. But you can be what you want when you're up for two scores like that. You're up 14-nothing. You can kind of dictate the policy. Well, especially, well, that's the key, right? We would all agree this. Because from what I'm gathering here, we all sound like we have a similar leaning in this football game. If anyone picks Kansas City at seven and a half, would you agree that if you go down 10-nothing or more to start that game, you're very concerned. You're not covering. I'll tell you one thing. A 10-point lead with Derek Henry, that's gonna be very tough. You can, I'm not saying you can't win, but a deficit against a team that can run the ball like Tennessee is a problem. You do not wanna be in a hole against Derek Henry. Unless you can force turnovers. And that's what happened when they lost to them in the regular season. The Chiefs turned the ball over. So they've gotta play cleaner football. Andy Reed can't become championship weekend Andy Reed, where he's only been to one Super Bowl. I think he's lost four championship games. So, I mean, if you're betting the Titans, you're betting on Cinderella. Maybe you're betting the Titans and go, it's gonna be a tighter game, maybe a backdoor cover. I wonder how many people out there really think the Titans have a chance to win this game. I just wonder. I thought about it, and I think they'll be game. I don't think this is gonna be a blowout cover. I think Kansas City's gonna win by about 10 points. I don't see them blowing out, Tennessee. I think this is a really tough, you know, they remind me of the Giants in some ways in terms of the run they're putting together. And if they somehow were to get to the Super Bowl, wouldn't you guys agree though, the NFL playoffs are weird. And even though Kansas City is clearly the favorite with the way the NFL is, you can picture Tennessee somehow ending up in the Super Bowl. It's a very Super Bowl like thing to happen. That you look at that. It would be a giant like run. It would be a giant like run. And you look back at 2020, you go, remember when Tennessee ends up in the Super Bowl? They did it once before. I mean, granted that team was more loaded, at least on paper, but I wouldn't be shocked if they somehow won, but it does appear that this chief's team is in the zone. I love the way they must feel coming after, not only they win last week, but to go on that 51 to seven run to end the game. When they were down 24 to nothing, they had a 6% chance of covering according to Vegas. Which is high to me. I know, you're surprised it's even six. But 94% that they were not gonna cover. And they covered easily. You knew basically by halftime they would cover. But I think they could be a nail bite in cover this week. It's such a, Tennessee's on this great run, but here's the problem that I have with the comparison of the Giants runs in 07 and 2011. Yes, the Giants were able to run the ball. Yes, their defense put pressure on the quarterback. And their defense played well in those games, in the playoffs. And they were road warriors. With the exception of that home win against Atlanta in 2011, all the games are on the road. But their quarterback can make a play. Eli made plays, right? Is Tannehill gonna make a play? I would think at some point, this game is gonna be in the hands of Tannehill to make a play. Can he do that? There, I think he can't. Listen, what is he? Eight and three is the starter. Nine and three is the starter, since taking over from Marriota. But in the playoffs, he hasn't been asked to do it. I think Kansas City will present an opportunity for Tannehill, where he's gonna have to convert on a third and 10 from his own 20-yard line. Otherwise they're gonna give up the ball. He's gonna have to make a play. I have a question for you, though. If they go on to win the Super Bowl, how much does Derek Henry and the Titans winning shove your Saquon argument right up your, you know what? They don't have a receiver. They have one receiver who has 52 receptions. A.J. Brown has 52 receptions. They pound the football, 1,500 yards a season from Derek Henry. So... Yeah, but their stat, like, the gentleman gave out a stat that the top four passing teams didn't make the playoffs. That's the top four passing yardage teams. You have to have the threat of a pass. The top seven teams with the top seven quarterback ratings all made the playoffs. Oh, I agree. So you have to have a really professional quarterback. They do have the threat of a pass, and Tannehill's been good. Right, but, like, you can't just have Walter... But you can't deny that... You can't have Barry Sanders and get to the playoffs and win a Super Bowl. Not if you're a quarterback is Rodney Pete. No, apparently not. But with this team, as presently constituted, there's no doubt if they were to win Derek Henry's the MVP of everything. He's the reason they would win the Super Bowl. All right, a couple of things to play here. Number one, if it was so much about Henry, then what did they bench Mario in the first place for? He's making all that money. And Mario's numbers were not bad when he was benched. You look at his QB rating, it was not awful. So the quarterback still has to play well. Maybe not in the two playoff games, but again, if this team, I'm guarantee you, if this team wins a Super Bowl, Tannehill's gonna have to have a game. He's gonna have to make a play. This might be the game. All right, I think this is the moment. If they win this game, it's not gonna be Tannehill throwing for 78 yards. Right. And Henry rushing for 220, he's gonna have to make a play. He's gonna have to do some things. And also, Henry's different than Saquon. To Michael's point with Barry Sanders, I can give Henry the ball and he kind of just moves the pile. He drives it. Saquon is a cut and slash and speed guy. That's why I didn't understand what Gettleman said. You gotta be able to run when it's cold and no matter what you're gonna face. Listen, I love Saquon, but he's not the kind of guy that's gonna, you know, just run the ball every time, just right in the middle when there's no hole and drag people down. Saquon will give you a drive occasionally where he sets you up. You run him on first and second down and then you're at third and 16. How often does Derek Henry set them up for a third and 15? And people always rip me about, I mean, I love Barry Sanders, but the pedestal that he's put on, there were a lot of no game, no game, no game, 28 yards, no game, no. That's not Derek Henry, as Don said. Derek Henry's, you're getting four shots of yardage. I love Barry Sanders. He was a non-entity at the goal line. Couldn't use them, right? Cause they put eight men in the box, he's not driving through a non-hole. The other thing is there were certain games, they're going to Lambeau and it's zero degrees outside and it's icy and it's snowing. No Barry Sanders, cause you can't cut that way. Yeah, and it's actually, it's the difference. It's, even though I always as a kid, of course, I revered Sanders so much more than Emmett, but Emmett was so much more vertical. You know, he went straight to the hole, Barry danced back there and you're right. That is the difference with Derek Henry. He is moving forward constantly. I think that the Chiefs, if they're going to blow out Tennessee, then they will slow down Henry. Like they'll keep new about 100 yards, not 180 or something like that. And the Chiefs are not great against the run. They're much better against the pass. But Spagnolo's a pretty good defensive coordinator. They could come up with something. You're not going to stop them, the old Dan Patrick line. You're going to have to contain them. Don't let him go off like he's gone off in the first two games. Let him get his yards, but contain them. I think that they could do that. If he has a huge game, I still think the Chiefs win. It's going to be close, whether or not they cover seven and a half. I have a crazy, have a trivia question for you. Do you know how many yards Derek Henry has through two games? Like 390? 377, ridiculous. Do you know how many touchdowns he has through two games? Just two, right? One. How crazy is that? That's why the things that I was reading today, he is not as much of a factor in them winning those games as you think. He did not account for the offense. I mean, their defense has played a big role as well. Obviously, Tannehill's only thrown for 77 and something like 88 yards. It was just, just insane. So they might just have, as Don would say, they might just have the Kevorker. They just, they might have it, all the mojo going their way this year. I'm not sure. But they just haven't faced in the two playoff games as explosive an offense that Kansas City brings to the table, right? Baltimore's very good offensive team that ran the ball a lot. But they had a great MVP quarterback. But are they gonna do what Kansas City did last week? No, no, that's not that. They have, but not that way. It just, it's a great story. I'd like to see it continue. I really would, but this is a tall order, man. I don't want to see it continue. I want to see Kansas City in the Super Bowl. I want to see Pat Mohams in the Super Bowl. Why would you want it to continue? Because I do like underdog stories, right? Yeah, but think about it. Then look at Andy Reed as the underdog. It needs a Super Bowl title to be a Hall of Fame. You have every right, Don, to root for the underdog. And I generally do. But I'm with Michael in this case. I don't want one of those Super Bowls. We're the only person who thought it was good was Trey Wingo. I want Kansas City in the Super Bowl. I want touchdowns in the Super Bowl. I want to see Patrick Mohams play. That conversation, you guys educated me to the other day because I wasn't old enough to really appreciate what's happening with Dan Marino. Dan Marino gets there early and thinks he's gonna have more chances. And then you don't. We never, we act like Patrick Mohams is gonna have a Super Bowl team around him forever. He might be the greatest quarterback of all time. And this might be the only time he's there. So you don't know. It's been nine years since Aaron Rodgers had a chance to win the Super Bowl. He's 36 years old now, too, so. The Holmes? My God, the last couple years have gone fast. Not my Holmes. Oh, oh, oh, Rodgers. Got it.

You see, Tyler Murray was talking to a newspaper in Arizona and said, yeah, I'd like to play both sports. Well, it really hasn't gonna happen, Tyler. So the Cardinals are gonna give you the first four weeks of the season off. Baseball's not gonna pull out your playing September. What happens if that team goes through the World Series? You're gonna miss eight games. You're gonna do what Deon Sanders did. Just missed the games on Sunday. I don't think it's workable. I really don't. No, of course not. Neither team's gonna want it. Neither sports gonna want it. All right.
