iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or the whole nine
right, so wherever you're at,you can get the podcast available to you.
I'd appreciate if you did that andleft a five star review for the
podcast. I prefer five stars,obviously, give it what you feel it's
worth. But I prefer the fivestar obviously because that helps increase the podcast

(00:43):
up on the charts of sports podcasts, and I do plan on trying to
incorporate some of those reviews into thepodcast. The more that the podcast receives,
so I appreciate each and every oneof you if you could go ahead
and drop that five star review onthe podcast of course, this podcast is
a podcast made of your own volition. Because I put up a poll on
the Instagram and I asked everybody,Hey, would you guys want me to

(01:06):
do a podcast covering the Super Bowlpredictions for myself, like the winner,
the MVP, and the betting lines, which would post which was gonna get
posted tomorrow? So I wanted tomake sure that I was getting the chance
to do that. And pretty mucheverybody voted yes. I mean everybody did
vote yes and not pretty much.If one person would have voted no,
I might have called you out byname. I'm not gonna lie. I

(01:29):
would have called your user out nameout and I would have just put I
might have blasted you all here,I'm not gonna lie to you. But
on Instagram where I posted the pollmission follow kPr sports on Instagram, that's
where everybody voted and resounding yes.So I appreciate everybody for at least at
the support, at least wanting meto put out more content. And it's
something that I try to pride myselfon hold of myself to whenever people will

(01:52):
at least ask for it. SoI I'm talking about the super Bowl today.
This is just a entirely super Bowlpodcast me by myself on this one
part of the reason why when Iposted the poll, I said that I
was trying to have a deadline cutoff at five o'clock because I was trying
to also if I could get somebodyelse on here to discuss the Super Bowl
and everything like that. And thenI thought about it and it was gonna

(02:15):
be really time consumer, especially becauseI posted a poll on Friday and then
to get somebody kind of late noticeon a Friday by Friday night. Especially
with the type of NFL knowledge thatI would like to have when discussing the
Super Bowl. I just figured,you know what, maybe I just go
in with my own expertise. AndI have to say expertise my own knowledge,
because when we talk about expertise,I consider that to be someone like

(02:36):
a Tom Brady or something like that. But what I know about football,
hopefully I can disseiminate that to youguys. But I wanted to talk about
all that and just talk about someof the best bets that I saw that
I think going into Super Bowl Sundaywould be very advantageous to hop on,
especially if you lean a certain waywhere you predict the game is going,
especially because these bets actually have probabilityof making you money, right, because

(02:58):
so many times there's so many betsof available, right, and so many
so many of them are on thefavorite or their their favorite to kind of
go through, right. So themoney you're kind of making your you're you're
inclined to make less money than you'rerisking at the end of the day,
Whereas a lot of the bets Ipulled out, I felt as though that
they're at the end of the day, you're going to make money on these
bets, right, So we're goingto see We're going to talk about that

(03:21):
as well as talking about some ofthe factors I think they are going to
go into this game to determine who'sgonna end up coming out the winner of
the super Bowl and then who Ithink will be the Super Bowl MVP at
it all, which will also followinto the bets and so on. So
let's talk about all that. Well, Actually, before I get into all
that, y'all, I do wantto give a YouTube channel update. So
currently I've been pumping out, pumpingout tiktoks and shorts as much as I

(03:45):
can within my current schedule. Mycurrent work schedule right, and so before
I was able to get them outlike almost every day. But I wanted
to make sure that I'm I hada reflection within the new year, and
I wanted to make sure I wasputting out more I don't know, like
more conversational topic or more conversational topicswith the audience as opposed to just covering
the current news. I want toput out more stuff that was I guess

(04:08):
could generate more conversation amongst me andthe people that were watching the content.
Maybe that was maybe as you allfelt that was already the case. But
I kind of picked out sector andI analyzed a lot of the reels and
tiktoks and stuff that I have madethroughout twenty twenty three and was seeing which
ones were the ones that garnered themost discussion, because I do want to
foster more of that discussion. Ireally enjoyed doing this because as as someone

(04:31):
who grew up with two brothers,one older, one younger, and then
an older sister. Our family,we were always able to go back and
forth on so many different topics,whether it be music, whether it be
sports, whether it be religion,politics, all that right, and I
always feel like if it's the mostfun, because not that we're all experts
on all these forms of discussion rightpersonally, for me, my weakest topic

(04:56):
of discussion amongst all those different categories, I would probably say is music maybe,
And that's just because I just don't. I used to listen to music
so much more coming up until fromlike obviously obviously auto up to college.
And I think maybe this is thecase for a lot of people. A
lot of people just stick with listeningto music for forever, right, they're
just music heads. Whereas for me, I fell off really in college,
and college is where I really gotinto the sports bag, and that's when

(05:18):
I really started to take a fullappreciation of my love for sports. It
started in high school. I lovefor sports because I never forget one of
my best friends at one point whenI was like in middle school, him,
his brother, and his sister.They had stayed over our house at
one point during the spring break forlike a week, and I remember it
was so funny because at the timethey like, you know, I was

(05:42):
so I was still into like mychild kids show bag, and I would
watch things like I'd watch things likeSonic X. I'm watching that on what
it was Fox for kids, andI'm obviously watching the pow range Ers,
so whatnot. And these guys areon the other side of the room,
on the other side of the house, watching Sports Center, trying to see
what the most recent highlights and stuffwere. And then just come you come

(06:02):
like fast forward what twenty years fromthat point, which is crazy to say,
but practically twenty years from that point. And now I'm like, just
such a I'm so deep in termsof NBA NFL. I don't know,
there's probably only one person that watchesa much NBA, at least NBA.

(06:23):
I know there's only one person.I mean, obviously it's snack killed the
other person I have on here withme who watches as much NBA, if
not more NBA than I do.And that's I say that comfortably. I'm
pretty much I know that for asa fact. But there are other people
that are probably I would say thatdo watch as much NFL or probably more
than me. For sure. AmI that I know directly. I've had

(06:43):
them on this podcast previously. ButI say all that to say that I
enjoy the conversation that I have withthese in these different perspectives and I and
from that point, you know,growing up, I've fallen off of some
things, but I've become super laserfocused in certain other areas, right,
especially in the sports arena. I'vetried to keep up with all things sports,
but I know my bag is NBANFL. That's where I'm passionate about.

(07:08):
I love watching those two sports.At first, I try to go
with the general cover all sports,but then I really realize when you're a
jack of all trades, you're amaster of none, right, So my
focus has been to really just learnfootball, learn NBA. I'm never going
to be as good as someone whoplayed the game. I'm not going to
be able to analyze it from thatperspective or who coached it at that level,

(07:29):
or whatever the case might be.But as another person who's just a
fan, but as also a personwho covered particularly I covered the NFL,
and I covered the NBA for myown personal I covered the NBA in an
internship, and I covered college basketballand an internship, but NFL. I
actually got paid as a staff writerto cover the NFL. So from that
perspective, I do have that perspectiveof things, so I try to offer

(07:49):
that to you all, and alot of times I want to bring you
all into the conversations when I makea video or I make a topic,
because there's things I notice as ajournal as a former journalist who had to
be who was held to a certainjournalistic standard when I wrote pieces that I
noticed things that other people will door certain people will say in certain press
conferences, or certain news matters thatcome up that are worth talking about,

(08:13):
but nobody covers them, and I'mjust like, that's so weird. And
the previous sports entity I worked withoutside Pitch Sports Network Lets they eventually shut
down, but when I was coveringthem that we were covering, I mean,
we were covering all the bottom floornews stuff a lot of times to
kind of separate us from an ASPNor whatever that covered a lot of the

(08:35):
top level journal general news, andso so many times some of that stuff
falls falls by my my purview,and I'm like, well, I don't
know why this isn't that much ofa bigger deal, or why aren't people
acknowledging this team or this player orwhatever the case might be, right,
And I have only so much bandwidthas one person who solely does all this,
whereas sometimes I'm competing against like wholewhole organizations and whatnot, so I've

(08:58):
tried to be more selective in thetopics I choose to cover. I know
a lot of you guys might not. I appreciate all of you who have
listened to this rant for what nineminutes or so so far. I do
appreciate all that because I just tryto give you. I try a lot
of times to just give a windowinto how my brain works with the content
that I put out, and alot of times I can't. I can't
offer that type of insight in avideo or those tiktoks or shorts or Instagram

(09:22):
reels, whatever the case might be. So this is really my platform that
I come on and I can reallyjust just you know, just talk.
And it's one that I dictate thetimeframe, I dictate a lot of the
people that come on. I dictatethe guests and so and it's it's cool.
So it's your literally your platform,so you can say what you want
on it, and I try notto the main thing I just don't I
don't allow on this platform at leastI'm my purview that I can is cursing

(09:46):
because I know a lot of timesI have nephews that I don't know if
my brother will put this my otorbrother will put this podcast on with my
nephews in the car. And Isometimes I know there are people that have
kids that listen to this podcast.I've been told, and so I try
to be mindful of that. So, I I mean, I personally don't
use curse words in my language,but I know other people do. So
I never tell people, hey,you can't curse on here, but and

(10:07):
just in the edits, I alwaystry to blank it out or take it
out, just so that people canfeel comfortable having their kids listen to a
podcast or have family members listen toa podcast. Maybe they're not they're not,
you know, they're not open tohearing curse words on just a casual
podcast listen, right, So Itry to be mindful of that stuff.
But of course, guys, Isay all that to say that long ass

(10:33):
wrap around is asked curse word.I never I said it, and then
I mean, he said, Imean thought, I'm my hum, I
just said I don't say curse words, and then I thought about it.
I'm like, huh do people considerasked curse words? The reason why I
never considered it on was because it'sanother word for donkey, right, But
I can see how someone could considerthat to be a curse word. And

(10:54):
it's another word obviously for but becauseyou wouldn't want your your you wouldn't want
your kid to go to your teacherand be like, damn, my ass
hurts. But it's technically not acurse for it. I don't know.
It's like it's like there's politically correctways to say certain words. Right,
Oh, that's actually this is actuallyfunny. Damn, I leave this in

(11:16):
now. These these are my thoughts. These are the flat process of like
when you're editing something, or ifyou have an editor, you'll you'll like
record this, then you'll notate itfor your notes for your editor, so
your editor can kind of go overit, right and take that address those
certain different things. But guys,let's jump into talking about the Super Bowl.
Man, I've talked about a lotof random stuff for long ago,

(11:37):
but let's talk about the Super Bowl. So Super Bowl, we have the
Kancity Chiefs. Obviously, we havethe San Francisco forty nine ers in this
game. I think we have twoof Obviously it's a rematch of the twenty
twenty Super Bowl, if I'm notmistaken, Yes, it's the of the
twenty twenty Super Bowl where the Chiefsbeat the forty nine ers in that Super

(11:58):
Bowl. Even that game, itwasn't this high scoring, this high scoring
affair, and I honestly believe atthat point the Chiefs offense was more explosive
than it is now, right,I think, And at that time you
still had Tyreek Hill, and Ithink that you obviously had a younger Travis
Kelce and that that Super Bowl,I mean, I guess when you if

(12:22):
you had the over under, theover went, it went over at fifty
one points. So maybe I guessif you consider that, I guess I
guess that probably would be for onthe Chiefs side. They did put they
were able to put up more points. But it's just funny to me because
now this current iteration of the KansasCity Chiefs, I don't feel as though
as anywhere close to what that offensively, that what the potency of that current

(12:46):
that previous can't see the Chiefs teamwas able to do in twenty twenty.
And so now I'm sitting here andI evaluate this can't see Chiefs team and
I feel like this team is waymore contingent on their defensive success, right.
Their defense is what brought this teamalong this way. Currently, the
Chiefs defense at the as a asa whole for the regular season, they
were second in yards allowed and secondin points allowed. So this has been

(13:07):
the defense has been the forefront ofthis team. They've been the front facing
part of this team. And Ithink you've seen it, right. I
think we've seen it with how thisteam has performed, not only in the
postseason, but even in the regularseason with some of their games. I
don't think the Chiefs have been thisteam that have been gangbusters. Yes,
I think once you get it's alwaysweird to me, right, Because I

(13:28):
guess you could say a similar thingfor the Lebron James Cleveland Cavaliers when he
was there for a couple of years, and even after Kyrie Irving left.
There was a time period there whereI remember people were acting like it was
such a surprise that Lebron was ableto drag this team to the finals,
and I was just like, well, who was everybody picking? Right?
It wasn't like everybody was betting onthe Celtics to beat them, or people

(13:52):
were betting on the Toronto Raptors tobeat that Cleveland Cavaliers team, right,
I think the Chiefs. The competitionthe Chiefs were facing was a bit more
steep than that Cleveland Cavaliers team fromwhat twenty nineteen I'd say, but even
but even that Cleveland Cavaliers team fromtwenty nineteen, I think that Lebron was

(14:13):
working with less than what Patrick Mahomesis working with. I mean that Cleveland
Cavaliers team from a defensive standpoint oras a two way standpoint, was nowhere
near what this can't see Chiefs teamis. And this Chiefs team is carried
by his defense. Don't get ittwisted. But I think that the Chiefs
were the raigning champions coming into theseason, so they ready were coming from
a position of strength and belief ofpeople saying, hey, you lost Tyreek

(14:35):
Kill, what are you going todo without Tyreek Kill? Then they go
and win a championship. So itwasn't one of these situations where we hadn't
seen the Chiefs be able to performwithout having one of their their biggest producers
in the in the receiving game.And so people were already bullish on the
Chiefs coming into the season. Soit's one of those situations for me where
I felt I feel as though thisChiefs team, I think that it's just

(15:01):
I think it's a different it's adifferent face, right. I think the
main consistency that you have for theKansas City Chiefs right coming into the season
was the fact that you always knewthat, look, whatever Patrick Mahomes is
doing, you're gonna be able tobet on Patrick Mahomes. You're gonna be
able to believe in Patrick Mahomes andhave that faith. Literally, the Chiefs

(15:22):
were the favorites coming into the seasonto get back to the super Bowl in
the preseason. So it's one ofthose situations you sit there and you're like,
well, it's not like this teamis like a huge surprise coming for
people. But the weirdest thing isthat there was a time droughout the season
where people were doing the thing wherethey're like, oh my gosh, this
offense is looking like it's teetering,this offense isn't looking as good as we've
seen in the past, and whateverthe case might be, and how they
even were able to perform last yearwithout Tyreek Hill. But it's just so

(15:46):
interesting to me that I feel asit comes full circle in a similar fashion,
because people say all this stuff inthe regular season, and then they
want to act like it's a surprisingthing when the team gets there, as
if they were fighting against all theodds, And to me, I'm just
like, you guys were betting onthis team before the season started, right,
and that's even considering all the issuesthey had the previous season. And

(16:10):
so now when the Chiefs end upin the super Bowl, I'm just like,
well, this was this has alwaysbeen that team, right, And
nobody knows how long the run willlast. Nobody knows if injuries will come
and play a factor in things,if a guy will retire, this and
that, right, Which is whyI've made a video earlier in the week
talking about or at least a realor short whatever you want to call it,

(16:32):
talking about how it's so the notionof Patrick Mahomes catching Tom Brady it's
such a tough one to come tofull terms and grasps with because of the
fact that it's so hard to beable to get back here year after years.
It's very hard in the NFL,and the fact that they've been to
four out of the last five SuperBowls is incredible, right, Six straight

(16:52):
AFC championships, and that's just somethingyou can't take for granted. And I
just say that this team is ona special type of run right now.
And I think to really be ableto come to crystallize that vision of being
able to catch Tom Brady, Ithink he. I think Patrick Mahomes needs

(17:14):
to win this Super Bowl, rightbecause I just don't why you still have
a Travis kelce that can perform atPro Bowl caliber level in terms of being
a great writer or a great tightend in the NFL, even he took
a step back this year in termsof his production. So you're starting to
see Travis, Like I even notedin that in that TikTok that Travis Kelcey
is in the latder half of hiscareer. Mahomes is like still in the

(17:37):
first third. Because you go throughyour first third, then you have your
middle, and then you have likethe ladder third, you're you're you're close
to your sendoff, right And Ithink Mahomes is closer is in that still
within that first third. He's comingoff from the middle now, whereas Kelsey
is I think Kelsey is is likeI don't know when we we project Travis

(18:00):
Kelce, because even Tony Gunzales playedfor a good number of years. But
I don't think, at least interms of Tony Gunzalez as he was as
one of the prime receiving targets inthe NFL, he wasn't that for a
He had a couple of years therewhen he was primarily a blocking tight end.
He became way more blocking oriented ina security blanket as opposed to like
go to game plans are being createdaround this guy as a threat in terms

(18:25):
of a receiving tight end. Right, So, I don't know if what
the transition will be for Travis Kelce. And we even saw Gronk kind of
start to fade into more of ablocking tight end during the latter years in
terms of him playing with the Buccaneersand so on, so especially as the
injuries piled on. But I thinkit's one of those situations where if for

(18:45):
this team, this team being here, I do think it's imperative on them
to be able to win it,especially that vision of them catching that Patriots
six ring run in terms of adynastic run. And I look, I'm
not one of these people that saysyou need to win like three straight to
be in dynasty. They lost this, won the next one, I would
still consider them a dynasty. AndI mean, if this team wins this,
they are a dynasty without question.I think even this level of success

(19:08):
to get to this many super Bowlsin this time frame, to win two
super Bowls out of out of five, for to win two Super Bowls out
of four visits or out of fivevisits four visits, I'm missing out my
years four visits. I have to, like, I have like the stats

(19:30):
lodge in my head, and thenI think about it from a standpoint,
I'm like, Okay, they've beenthe six straight AFC Championships and the I'm
trying to canckle what they lost thefirst one to Tom Brady and those guys.
Then they got they went the nextfew year, and then they lost
to the Bengals, and so I'mtrying to like keep it in my head.
But yeah, okay, so theywin two out of four Super Bowls.
They went fifty for fifty. Istill think that's a dynastic type run.
Man, if you ask me,I still consider that to be a

(19:52):
dynastic type run. I think thatthree solidifies it without question, because the
Patriots didn't win three straight back toback. I know they it all on
the first year within a certain timeframe, but the rings the Patriots,
I feel like we're bandied as adynasty for the success in the longevity of
the success that they had, right, not only because of those first Tree
rings, but just because they wereso successful for so many years. And

(20:15):
they went to Super Bowls just twothousand and seven, twenty eleven, and
they went and like they went acouple years later, and it's like,
you know, they just kept going. And so I don't know, I
don't know. Let me, I'mcurious what you all think about that that
proportion of the conversation. But Idid initially come around to when I brought
up the Cleveland Cavaliers and so on. I bring up so much of that

(20:37):
stuff when I was saying, isthat so much of it just revolves around
that one guy, right, especiallyin basketball, its way more focused on
having that one player who can changethe fortunes of the franchise. And in
football, when you have that quarterback, especially who's so generationally great that he
can cover a bit of the blemishesthat there might be in other areas of
your team's particularly for the Chiefs theiroffense, because even when I look here

(21:00):
and evaluate the offense, the offensethis year they were nineteenth and run or
sorry, they were the fifteenth bestscoring offense in nintheen yards, right,
so they were about middle. Theywere literally middle of the pack when it
came to putting up points. Theygained y pretty much a lot of yardage,
but they weren't always able to punchthe ball into the end zone.
So that's that's kind of how Iviewed this team. But it was just

(21:21):
so weird to me the narrative wherepeople were asking like, oh, it's
such a surprise that this Chiefs teamgot here or whatever the case might be.
I'm like, guys, you werebetting on them literally before the year.
Okay, let's shift to the fortynine ers some now, because I
think this forty nine ers team isanother proponent of a team that when people
I think that when you evaluated thisteam, even from last year, the
forty nine ers were the team thatwhen you looked at them, you were

(21:42):
just like, well, they gothurt if they had all their quarterbacks,
if they had like literally their quarterbackshealthy they would have gotten back to this
point. And so I think thatwhen you evaluated from that perspective, I
think the forty nine ers were theteam that you looked in the NFC.
They were just the team that hadthe most talent all throughout the season.
Yes, there were times where guyslike Deebo Samuel's, Trent Williams were hurt,

(22:03):
and so it made you really sawthe limitations somewhat on brought party at
times when those guys were out,especially when you have like an all pro
level left tackle that's out. Iunders I can understand that step back being
taken in some regard, even thoughyou would like to see brock perty still
be able to work around that deficiencyat the left tackle position, and maybe
without one of your best whiteouts.I still think that when a guy is

(22:25):
like elite elite, then you canfind a way to work around a lot
of that stuff. Or because theteam is still talented around. You still
have Christian mccathe, you saw BrandonI you you still have George Kittle and
all these other positions on offense thatare still viable and able to produce at
a really good level for that team. So I think that you evaluate the
forty nine ers, they are theteam that if you I think that much,

(22:49):
I mean, the forty nine ersare favored in this game right when
you look at the betting lines,which we'll get into in a bit,
but right now, I just wantto highlight the fact that by per sportsbook
Draft Kings Sportsbook, you look atthe current spread, the forty nine Ers
are two point favorites, right,and then the money line, it's minus
one twenty in favor of the fortynine ers, So they're they're the hands

(23:11):
down favor in this game. AndI think a lot of people, a
lot of betters are seeing that thisis the forty nine ers are the better
team from top to bottom. Likethey're literally the better team. They have
a great defense, they have agreat offense. They have it on both
sides. Literally, their offense wasthe third best scoring offense and second best
in terms of yards gained, Sothey have the best of both worlds when

(23:34):
it comes to this forty nine Ersteam. And that was all under the
stewardship of Brock Party. And Ithink I think it's reasonable for people to
have question marks with Brock Party.I have mentioned that I think if you
just took brock Party out. Youput in a guy like Aaron Rodgers,
they will wash in terms of favorites, right. I think that in that
scenario a lot of people, morepeople are comfortable with believing Aaron Rodgers could

(23:56):
lead this team to a super Bowlthan Brock Party can. Matthew Stafford,
who is now a champion. Ithink more people will be confident in being
able to lead this team to achampionship than brock Perty could, Right.
And so those are the things thatI highlight because I think that this isn't
such a huge a bigger swing onebecause Patrick Mahomes is the other person on
the other side, and I've beenseeing that argument a lot. I think

(24:18):
a lot of people are very muchmore bullish on the forty nine or sorry,
on the Chiefs because they don't wantto bet against Patrick Mahomes. I
feel like at every stop of thiswholeseason, people have reason to themselves as
to why they can bet on Ibet on the team that's going up against
the Kansas City Chiefs, and foreach time, none of those teams to
be able to deliver in the fashionthat would require to beat the Chiefs.

(24:41):
The team that had the third bestodds coming into the season to reach the
Super Bowl was the Bills. Billsgo up against the Chiefs, Josh Allen
plays well, but doesn't make allthe plays they're needed to beat the Chiefs
in the twenty seven to twenty fourfinal. That it could have gone either
way, right, but the twoteams, the the Chiefs has made more
plays because they had that dude ontheir team. It's not like Patrick Mahomes

(25:03):
played this exceptional game. I meanpretty much, he was really good in
that game. Seventeen of twenty threefor two hundred and fifty for two hundred
and fifteen yards, two touchdowns,no interceptions, right passer rating of one
point thirty one point six. AndI think it's one of those situations where
you look at that and you're like, Okay, well, Josh Allen has
to outplay that or make more playsjust to put his team in a position,

(25:23):
and unfortunately he wasn't able to dothat in the moment. And it
takes that when you're playing against theChiefs, and a lot of times if
that guy who's Patrick Mahomes is theone that ends up with the ball ass
or is the guy that can kindof keep his team in that position to
not turn the ball over, orkeeps his team in a position where he
is going to be able to makethe plays that extend a drive, or
whatever the case might be, keepsJosh Allen off the field longer. He's

(25:45):
the guy that can do that.When he went up against Lamar Jackson,
Lamar Jackson had a bad game andhe didn't make all the plays and the
game was there for the taken.The Ravens defense held the Chiefs to seventeen
points. If you tell anybody,will we take holding the Chiefs to seventeen
points in a way to be ableto beat them in the game. Do
you think we'll be able to winthat game? I think a lot of
teams, especially those two teams,the Ravens and the Bills, would have

(26:06):
said yes, right, But theyjust didn't come and delivered their guy.
Their quarterbacks did not outplay Patrick Mahomeswhen it mattered the most. Lamar Jackson
came up short and he was missingthrows all over the place, Like I
felt like he regressed in that game. And it was just so weird because
to have an MVP caliber season wherehe was an MVP right to have an

(26:27):
MVP season and where you're able tomake the throws and so on. But
they were hints there. And Nick, my guy who's been on this podcast
before, he even highlighted, likeyou look at the Steeler games. Nick
the Steeler fan notably so he hasa thing against the Ravens Lamar. Of
course he has a little bit moreof a personal bias. But what he
said is true though. If yougo watch the Steeler games and how the

(26:47):
Steelers defended Lamar Jackson where they madehim a pocket passer, it's in those
games that Lamar has looked at hisworst, and he lost both those games
against the Steelers. The Chiefs didthe same thing. Edges wide they had
they had or yeah, they rushtheir edge rushers wide to prevent the him
escape in the pocket. Then theyhad spies in the middle to just keep

(27:10):
eyes on him and keep him incheck. And and and to somewhat degree,
the Ravens played into it with theirwith their game plan. Right.
I don't want to say it,I always believe I don't think it's one
of those things when Lamar plays bad, oh, the offensive coordinat always gets
to blame. I think there's someelement to that with some people, but
I think that it's as reasonable adults, you can properly allocate blame around to

(27:32):
everybody. This should be. Andthe Ravens didn't follow their rushing plan.
But that's one of those things whereteams just fumble against the Chiefs. I
don't know what it is, theyjust fumble. They get out of doing
what they normally do, right.And so I think when you look at
that element, and all those quarterbackswere better than, or at least people
would take them over Brock Party,but their teams were not better than Brock
Party's team. And I think it'sone of those saving graces for people.

(27:56):
They're saying, Okay, look,if Rock Party can just be good enough,
the team will care them there.Right, Because even when you're looking
at Super Bowl MVP favorite odds,Christian McCaffrey's right behind the two quarterbacks,
because people believe Christian McCaffrey could playa very huge vital role in this game
in terms of how the forty nineErs game plan will work, because it'd
been a three headed attack in termsof run passing, and then the I

(28:21):
guess then you can facilitate the receiverguy. The receivers right, because I
don't think it's been it's been this. They've been a team that's been led
by the production of Christian McCaffrey,which then fosters into everything else in their
offense. And I think that whenyou view it from that perspective, I
can see why people believe Christian McCaffreycould be the first running back to be
a Super Bowl MVP since Torell Davisdid it many many moons ago. I

(28:45):
don't think I was born by then, I think, and so I just
think it's one of those scenarios wherewe're looking at it and you evaluate how
how this forty nine Ers team hasbeen this year. I think it's I
want to say a credit in someregard. I think brock party in some
ways. I think Cam Newton startedthe conversation about if he's a game manager,

(29:06):
game changer the whole nine and evenhe's Cam Newton has said that saying
someone as a game manager is aninsult, right, because there's expert or
there's elite level game managers such asa Tom Brady. Right, Tom Brady
managed a game in such an eliteway that he wouldn't turn the ball over.
He just kept the ball on histeam's hands. He always tried to
minimize the turnovers, but would dissectthe defense in a way that other opposing

(29:33):
teams just had no chance of beingable to keep up with. Tom Brady's
mind was moving at a million miles, but he's playing the game faster than
everybody else, which is going tobe very excited to hear him in the
Fox poof this upcoming season, right. But I think that because people have
been saying that Brock Perdy is agame manager, it's been like it's felt
like a slight to him, becausegame managers always meant to be like a

(29:56):
guy who can't go out there andmake the place to win you the game,
where I would say that differs fromTom. I think this whole conversation
about game manager game changer has gota little bit more murky as time has
gone on, and I'm like,what necessarily makes that person the game changer?
Maybe Cam Newton elaborates that probably onhis podcast, which I recommend,
But I think that whole conversation's gota bit murky because I think when you

(30:19):
look at a guy like Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes, I think what one
would maybe define as a game changeris because of the fact he just makes
these crazy throws that you're just likethat that just shouldn't happen. That doesn't
even make sense some of the throwshe makes, some of the plays he
makes. And I don't know ifrock Perty necessarily makes plays like that that
you're like, oh my gosh,I like, only that player could have

(30:41):
made that play, or only thisperson could have done this thing. Maybe
that's the difference between game manager gamechanger. I don't know, because I
also think Tom Brady also fits intothat category as well. So I don't
know who knows, but I thinkthat's where people have the trepidation with Brock
Purty in that regard, and Ithink they had it when Russell Wilson was
in that position many moons ago toowith the Seattle Seahawks, and people still,

(31:03):
I mean, Russell Wilson had thatone MVP caliber year and now since
then, I mean, he's stillhad a great season this year or a
good season, and now people arenot as high on him, but he's
still He's played well with the DenverBroncos this past year. So it's gonna
be interesting. I see what happenswith him. But I digress. I
will say, when you look atthe games from San Francisco this year,

(31:26):
like I said, they've been oneof the best scoring offenses in a lot
of these games. But then youlook at the contribution of brock Party,
and in many of these games,you start asking questions. Right, because
even in the thirty four to thirtyone Detroit Lions winck they scored, they
put up thirty four points, brockParty contributes two hundred and sixty seven passing
yards, one touchdown, one interception, has a pass rating of eighty nine,

(31:48):
thirty four points, and brock Purtyaccounted for one of them. Right,
And then you look at their ohsorry, yes, yes, sorry.
Then you look at the Green Baygame where brock Party had that huge
last that huge game winning drive.But you look at it, they put
up twenty four points, brought perty, put up two hundred and fifty two

(32:09):
yards on fifty nine percent completion percentage, had one touchdown, no interceptions.
But even in that game, peopleare really highlighted how it felt like he
really just had that one really gooddrive and that was it. So I
think it's one of those scenarios wherethat's the question people are not saying that

(32:30):
you have to be the guy that'sthrowing every touchdown or running in every touchdown.
But I think it's just more demonstrablewhen you see how Patrick Mahomes is
more I guess accounting of making,of being the guy that's a part of
the scoring and so on, soyou can see it more on its face
for the contributions he's making towards theoffense, right, or at least that
he's getting his team down there tobe able to make to make those plays.

(32:52):
And I think a lot. Sothis is okay, let me highlight
the difference here because I think peopleare going to say, well, it
brought Perty gets his team down theretoo, and the Christian McCaffrey scores a
touchdown. What is it? Ithink the difference is that when Patrick Mahomes
makes a throw, it's like again of It's a gain of thirty five
yards because Patrick Mahomes made a greatthrow with a guy in a position to
He gives a guy a position tomake the play right. He puts the

(33:13):
ball in a place where a guycan make a play. Whereas Rock Purty
can complete a ten yard pass,but his weapons are so good they'll convert
that into a fifteen twenty yard game, right, And so then it's like
those guys, the pieces surrounding piecesare then extending plays. Deebo Samuel has
been known for years to be oneof the best receivers at yards after the
catch. Christian McCaffrey one of thebest receiving backs in the whole NFL.

(33:36):
That's why he's always been one ofthe most desired players in all of fantasy
football because his scrimmage yards and hisplay from scrimmage is ridiculous. You can
give Christian McCaffrey a pass might bea five yard checkdown, but he could
turn it into a fifteen twenty yardgame. And I think that's the difference
that we're highlighting here, Whereas Mahomesonly has really one player on his offense
that does that and Travis Kelce,who even this season has done that to

(33:58):
a lesser degree, and Mahomes thebig completions, and I think that's been
a part of why their offense hasbeen more middle of the pack because a
lot of the completions in the playsat the yards after the catch guys are
more so Holmes is putting guys inpositions where they can catch the ball at
where they are, even though thatChiefs offense has had a lot of drops
the season, which is why nowyou see a guy like Kadarius Tony not

(34:19):
playing because he's had a lot ofbig, notable drops and a lot of
miscutes dropped the season which put himin this position. But I think that
a lot of times that Mahomes ismaking plays for guys and putting guys in
position where they're making the catches andmaking the plays. He's finding them in
open seams. But maybe these guysaren't the players that they don't have the
athleticism or the just the versatility tobe able to go and get those extra
yards after the catch that previous talentlike a Tyreek Hill could on that team.

(34:44):
I think the guy that I seenow is like Rashid Rice, that
is the main guy that can Hehas the jets to be able to do
that. So I don't know,we'll see. I'm very interested in seeing
how this game goes. I'm excitedfor the Super Bowl. I'm trying to
make my own arrangements for Honestly,I don't know. Let me know what
you guys are getting for Super bowlmeals. I think I might just end
up. Truthfully, I might justgo to Knes get me a cane yet.

(35:07):
I love me some canes. Man. Look if y'all y'all know me,
you know I love me some canes. Baby. Look me and Kane's
got a good thing going. Ineed to be invested in that company because
I believe in the I believe init. I want to own a Kyne's
franchise. Dude, If I owneda Knes franchise, oh my gosh,
dream come true, Dream freaking cometrue. I probably can't because I just

(35:30):
gained so much weight. I don'tknow who knows my two restaurants I've been
staple since I was well, sincecollege. Kanes has been a staple in
my life, but since I wasa kid. Krispy Kreme. O.
Man, when that hot sign ison, Oh my gosh, I always
I look. I'm gonna give mea glaze dozen. I love me a

(35:53):
good glaze doesn't, And let metell you when I can eat up some
glazes does. Oh my goodness,beautiful man, I love me food.
I'm lucky. I live in anarea close to a lot of a hotbed
for food, so I get alot of great food in this area,
but you know, you always gotto be mindful of your budget and smart

(36:15):
spending, and you don't want togain the crap ton of weight. So
it's kind of like the torture oflike humanity. You want to be healthy,
you can't eat you can't eat toomuch food. You want to be
financially smart. You want to befinancially aware. Can't just go eating out
every day, right, so youhave to be you have to make all
these smart purchases and buying decisions.It's like, damn, bro, being
an adult sucks. It's annoying aswell. I just used to be able

(36:38):
to go my parents. I'd belike, yo, can we go to
Christmas cree? And then we stoppedbuying after like church nights and stuff and
pick up Chrispy Kreme a like twelveam. It's probably not the best thing
to feed your children at twelve am, but my dad would do it.
I'm like, yo, you're awriter for this one. The goat.
Then Saturday mornings we come up,wake up, go get our Krispy Kream
donuts. You have like multiple sitin there, me and all my siblings.

(37:00):
Imagine that's a household of six people. Man used to crush them donuts.
But I used to be so disappointed. We're coming down to the last
few. And I always knew,Man, when my when my little brother
or my older brother came to thedonut box, dog, oh man,
I knew it was treacherous. Youjust saw the amount just plummet. Like
my little brother used to eat themthings like they were doritos. Bro used

(37:20):
to be crunning them things. Iwas like, Bro, these things have
just expired too fast. Like damn. I used to be so butt hurt.
Man, Oh gosh, I usedto be so sad about it.
But nonetheless, oh gosh, thiswhole food tirade. All right, yeah,
guys, let me know what you'regetting for the super Bowl. But

(37:43):
what I will say, going goingeven further into things that when I when
I look at even the viability ofRock Purty as a quarterback, I think
that I think some people sell themshort. I think Rock Purty has been
able to make the play, makeplays that have definitely like it's it's a
different vibe to when Jimmy g wasthis position. I think a couple of
years ago when the forty nine erslost, when the forty nine has lost

(38:06):
to the Chiefs. There was anotable play and I think it was the
fourth quarter, about six minutes left. I'm not sure. I'm not tily
sure, but everybody should everybody Ithink would remember this. But I think
it was Deebo Samuel gets behind thedefense and he's he's open, right,
He's burned the two Chiefs safeties onthe back end, and I brought If
Jimmy Garoppolo puts the pass on thereon the money, then that's a I
mean, Deebo's walking in there fora touchdown and Jimmy just overthrew them and

(38:31):
missed them. And that was aplay that you're just like, ah,
man, they had to have that. They had to have that. And
now you asked the question, canBrock Purdy be the guy to make that
throw? I think that's been thequestion, right, Are you the guy
that can make that throw? Andmaybe that's the definition of the difference between
a game changer and a game manager. And that's why I still get confused

(38:53):
when he says Cam says Tom Brady'selite game manager. I don't know,
because Tom Brady could make those shrows. But I digress. I think that
it's one of those things that Iknow Patrick can make the draw in the
moment to win the game, right, I know Patrick can make the drive
in the moment to make to goand win the game. The thing is,
though, Brock Purty already in thispostseason, has had two more game

(39:15):
winning drives fourth quarter comeback postseason drives, and he's done it, even did
it in last year's postseason. Iguess the Dallas Cowboys. Sorry sorry,
it's a little funny, but heeven had it last year against the Dllas
Cowboys. Right, And so whenI'm sitting there and I'm looking at I'm
like, Okay, Brock Party isnot like this guy who hasn't had any

(39:37):
successfully game winning drives or they cancome back drives or something like that.
Obviously, it's not to the degreeof a guy like Aaron Rodgers or a
guy like Patrick Mahomes. I don'tthink when Rock Party has the ball in
the fourth quarter and we're like,okay, under two minutes, let's see
what he's gonna do. I don'tthink that we're sitting here like, oh
my gosh, it's Brock. Idon't think that stop. I don't think

(39:59):
the NFL world it's in they're trembling, right. But I do think I
do think it is one of thosethings that if if Brock Party can just
turn into an elite game manager inthis one game and this one game,

(40:21):
just don't have any turnovers, like, just just manage the ball game for
what it is, right, takewhat the chiefs are giving you. Don't
feel rush, don't let the momentescape you. I think, man,
I think he can. He canhave success. I think because Brock has
played well all year. The onlygame he really let get away from him
in terms of turnovers and so on, where like the losses against Cincinnati,

(40:44):
Minnesota, and then obviously the terribleloss against Baltimore, which I will state
forever, that's the game that helost the MVP. I think Rock Party
was having a strong case in termsof, oh I deserve to be an
MVP, but that lost to Baltimore. It kind of just shut it all
down. And the crazy thing is, even when the MVP voting happened,
Lamar Jackson got robbed of Unanim's MVP. The one person who voted for Josh

(41:05):
Allen, bro who was talking aboutJosh Allen being the MVP. That was
even one thing, and that's onething I will say from local that had
that had to be a local writer, without question. And I need they
need to make the vote to publicbecause I think NBA all NBA votes are
public. You can see who votedfor whom for all NBA, so people
can't bes the voting right. Andit's either that or it's the legal awards

(41:30):
or that you can get you seeall the voters for each award. It
might be both. I gotta Igotta confirm that, but the fact that
it had to be a local writerbecause but Josh Allen wasn't even in the
MVP discussion, man, Josh Allenhad been out of the MVP discussion since
like what week thirteen, So forhim to be the one vote that stopped

(41:52):
Lamar Jackson from getting back to backunit or not back to back but having
been the first two time unanimous MVPis ridiculous. That's a joke. This
is a joke, man, thatwas a joke. But anyways, I
think that if brock Brock can someonewhat he's what he's been most of the

(42:15):
year, the forty nine ers havea good chance. I think this should
really, truthfully be a really goodSuper Bowl. I just feel like the
pieces are lined for it to bea really good one. It might not
be the high scoring contest that everybodywants, but and maybe this is where
I get into a bit of moreof my my my betting lines. But

(42:35):
I don't I personally don't think thisis gonna be one of those thirty one
to twenty Kansas City versus the fortynine ers type like it was in twenty
twenty. I think this is moreof a twenty four to twenty seventeen type
of deal that we're gonna get inthis game, right, And from that
perspective, I definitely I look Ithe over unders set at forty seven and

(43:00):
a half points, right, andI think that when you look at the
odds, the over is at minusone twelve the unders at minus one to
eight. So even Vegas, theleanings are for the under. People don't
think this is gonna be a highscoring game, and I don't believe it
either, because I, for one, I don't think I think both teams

(43:22):
are so good defensively that neither offenseis gonna be able to run rough shot
on the other. And even theRavens defense proved that in the run.
The Ravens are we're the best defensein the league, right and they held
the Chiefs to one to seventeen points. But then you have like the second
best defense now in the forty nineor sorry, you have the second best
defense in the Chiefs, and thenyou have the you have also another top

(43:45):
ten defense in the forty nine ers. So I'm sitting there, I'm like,
well, I'm not sitting here reallygonna project this huge game, right,
I don't. I'm not going tosit here and project this huge scoring
contest. And I think Vegas haseven seen that too, which is why
it's more favored that this will bethe under this game. And that's why
my score I'm feeling more of atwenty four to seventeen or twenty four twenty.

(44:07):
They're gonna be field goals in thisgame, I don't, I have
without question, because both teams areable to gain yards. Both teams,
the Chiefs really have no running gameat all. To be honest, I
was Pacheco. I know his lasttime. That's like Isaiah or I don't
want to mess up his first name, but I know Pacheco. He's a
solid running back option. But whenyou look at the Chiefs running numbers.

(44:28):
They were nineteen four rushing yards andsixteenth in rushing touchdowns, So they're not
necessarily this barn burner when it comesto running to football. But I think
that similar to like their first drive. Once the Chiefs getting too a rhythm,
they'll get like a couple of scoreshere and there, but then their
drives might stall out for a bit. And that's really where you're gonna see
the game kind of come become tensebecause they're gonna You're gonna have the initial

(44:49):
reaction right where teams are gonna comeout either gonna go three and out,
maybe then score in the next drive, or they're gonna score. Teams are
gonna make adjustments, and then you'regonna feel like a bit more of a
slog when it comes to scoring forboth teams. That's how I feel like
it's gonna go. And I definitelyfeel as though when it comes to I
feel as though I'm comfortable in believingthe Chiefs can go find we'll find a

(45:13):
way to score the Niners. Tome, I just need I can't get
over the feeling of can I trustBrock to show up against that defense?
I don't think he's gonna have abad, horrible game, but he has
to go multiple. You're gonna blowto blow with the champ. Like this

(45:34):
is literally you're going. You're goingwith the champ. You're going with the
mono. You mono. Here theyhave the talent like they got he Look,
Brock's got Tyson's right hook, He'sgot his uppercut, the whole nine.
But that he got that Tyson.No how And when I say he
has that Tyson, I'm talking aboutthe talent. I'm not talking about his
actual arm. I'm talking about thetalent. Guys. So we'll see,

(45:57):
we'll see, Okay, well,we'll definitely see. I'm excited for this
game, man, I'm so excitedbecause there's so many legacy implications for this.
The forty nine or the forty nineErs would would they break? They
would? Then I think they wouldthen tie the Steelers and Patriots for most
Super Bowl titles all time. Yes, they won five. They won five

(46:21):
Super Bowls and then you have theCowboys there with them two at five.
So it's funny because my same friendNick, when we talked about the this
game, he was bagging the fortynine Ers out to win because the forty
nine Ers have been that franchise.They've been to the Super Bowl many times

(46:42):
over the last two decades, right, and people might say three times,
not a lot, that's a crapton of super Bowls. Guys like,
I don't know what what era offootball you're living in, but to what
the Chiefs are doing is an anomaly. Even what the Patriots did was an
anomaly. There's a reason why theseteams are like the outliers. Not every
team is going to go to thesuper Bowl this many times. The forty
nine ers to keep a super Bowlwindow extended from essentially twenty twelve all the

(47:07):
way to twenty twenty four, notto mention all the NFC championships they've been
to in this whole entire timeframe.This team is that they've been a really
good team. And even to Nick'spoint when we were talking about it,
he even notes that he doesn't careif the Cowboys somehow just get there and
win a championship, cause he doesn'tbelieve in the Cowboys. He doesn't believe
in the sustainability of a Cowboys caliberchampionship team. Whereas the forty nine Ers,

(47:29):
they've shown over the course of adecade they've had, They've been able
to not only retain their talent,keep their talent, but also go and
draft new talent, go get newblood, and forty five their team.
This is probably one of the bestbuilt teams I've seen in a very long
time. From top to bottom.The forty nine ers are are ridiculous and

(47:49):
really the only the only position thatyou have a question about is the quarterback.
That's truly it because of the fortynine ers. If the forty nine
Ers would have been the team tosign Aaron Rodgers, let's say he didn't
get hurt in the off season,people would be entirely saying a different tune
about who they were picking. Everybodysays they're not they don't want to pick
against Mahomes. But if Aaron Rodgerswas the guy that Patrick Mahomes is sitting

(48:09):
was standing across from, look,a lot of people will be picking against
Mahomes. Like I'm just saying,man, that's not like I have anything.
Again, I don't care. Noneof these teams are my teams.
But that's just that's just the truth. I mean, when you pick against
when you were in the field,is not as as talented or whatever the
case might be. When you're pickingagainst or they're just not as consistent,

(48:30):
then yeah, it's easier to pickagainst the it's easier to not pick against
the main lead guy. But no, Mahomes is that dude, bro.
I say that unabashedly. Mahomes isthat dude. So I definitely feel like
this is going to be a fungame personally for me. When we talk

(48:52):
about picks, who am I taking? You have? You have the second
best off defense in the Kansas CityChiefs versus the third best scoring defense in
the forty nine ers in their theeighth best in terms of yards allowed.
Then you have the Chiefs mid rankedoffense versus the forty nine ers top class

(49:15):
offense. And to be honest,I'm just gonna be one of those other
people. Man, I'm gonna haveto go with the Chiefs. I'm picking
the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs. I just have way more faith in
Patrick Mahomes to be able to makethe plays that are necessary to win this
game. That's just so what itcomes down to for me personally. I'm
not ever gonna cap I could notcap kill you. I look, I

(49:40):
thought the Ravens could have beat theChiefs. I felt like there were many
opportunities in that game that the Ravenshit. But when I realized how the
Ravens were coming out playing, andfor some reason, Lamar Jackson has it
in his head that he has toprove people wrong about him being able to
pass in the pocket. I don'tjust go and win the football game,
right, And I felt like Lamarwas trying to prove every dott Or wrong.

(50:02):
Dude, you're a two time MVP. If Dodters are gonna keep doubting
you, like, who who cares? You? Just go and play how
you play to win the game,how you instinctively play to win the football
game. Because there is multiple timesin that game Lamar Jackson center, he's
got like five seconds in the pocket, just sitting there holding the ball,
and I'm like, bro, thisman in the regular season would have just
took off already. And mind you, even though they had spies there on

(50:24):
him. There are times that whenLamar did take off, He's still gained
like twenty fifteen yards, right,Like a bit of my irritation is coming
out, My irritation is coming out. But I just I think that this
is one of those situations that Mahomesis gonna play his way. He doesn't
let the d he doesn't let thedefense dictate how he plays. He plays

(50:45):
his game. He will always playhis game and he takes what the defense
gives him, but also through doingthat then breaks the defense in a way
that then he will take advantage ofwhat they're giving him in some respects because
then they start playing out a characterrealizing oh, maybe this isn't working against
this guy or whatever the case mightbe. So we'll see how that goes.

(51:05):
But I am definitely taking the Chiefs, and that leads me to the
bets. Guys. So when we'retalking about the money line, I would
say bet on the Chief money line. The Chief money line a day ago
was one ten, but I'm grantedit might be a different sports book where
it was one ten for you guys. I saw it at one ten for
this the DraftKings sports book. TheChief money line was. Right now it's
at plus one hundred. I stillthink you take that because you still make

(51:25):
your money back on letting a plusone hundred bet. There's still money to
be gained there, So I thinkthat that's a that's a worthwhile bet.
Now, let's talk about where Ibelieve that some of the get the prop
bets right. I don't. I'mnot too much of a I think this
game could go anyway. So I'mplayers saying not taken any player props or

(51:46):
whatever the case might be, butsome prop bets I will take. I
do think the chief money line inthe first half is a good bet.
I believe the Chiefs will be thelead, will lead going into halftime.
So the Chiefs first half prop betis at plus one ten. I'm comfortable
in taking that because a lot ofthroughout a lot of many of these games,
the Chiefs have been leaders at thehalftime so or at the half.

(52:06):
Not at the halftime, but atthe half. So I think that I'm
comfortable being able to take the Chiefsat half to be the leaders. That's
a plus one ten bet. Soyou can make some money, and granted
I'm all about making money, yes, to carry some risks. Might be
some more, you know, interestingbets that are being considered, but I
do think that's a scenario that theChiefs can have a halftime lead. So
I think that what plus one tenbet, especially if you are somebody that

(52:28):
believes the Chiefs can win like Ido. Like if it's different, if
you're more leaning in the forty nineers camp, this whole perspective might sound
different to you. But if youalso are leading the forty nine ers camp,
but you think that the Chiefs couldpossibly lead at the half and then
the forty nine Ers will come andtake the lead, then that Chiefs one
plus one ten might not sound badto you, right, So I think
that one ten is a good isa good bet. Then we have the
bet. There's another prop bet whereI took another halftime bet, but a

(52:52):
bet. The bet is each teamto score one touchdown in the first half
and at least one field goal inthe first half. That was at a
plus three twenty. I believe,so, yes, I believe that that's
a good bet. I think thatin the last few games both these teams
have done that. Both of themhave literally done this exact thing the last
two games they've played. So Ithink that I'm comfortable in taking that bet.

(53:15):
And I also feel as though inthis game, I don't think any
one team is gonna get this biglead. Like there was a prop bet
where it was like one team willlead like a score by a plus of
thirteen and a half point, sothat's essentially leading by two touchdowns. I
was like, oh, hell no, I was not comfortable taking that bet.
That bet was at like a plusseven something, I think maybe,

(53:37):
and I just had no comfort intaking that bet because I just didn't think
that I didn't think that any team'sgonna be able to really get away from
the other net regard like I'm anticipatinglike one team might lead by like a
field goal or a touchdown at anyone point. But I don't think it's
going to be this crazy fair wherethese guys are just running the numbers up
on each other. But look,look at it this way. Even if

(53:58):
you're if your Kansas City money linebet is wrong at plus one ten right
and Ken City isn't winning at thehalf, if you make money on the
each teams to score, each teamsto score a touchdown in the first half,
and the field goal in the firsthalf, then you already make that
money back and then some right atplus three twenty odds, you're gonna damn
your triple your money for what youbet. So I think that you kind

(54:22):
of cover yourself in that in thatrespect as well. So just wisely bet
with how much money you're gonna boundon that. And there's also these are
bets that I'm anticipating you have thediscretionary income to be willing to lose,
right, So let's keep that inmind. Right. So, now let
me go to the Super Bowl MVPodds. So I think Patrick Mahomes is

(54:43):
gonna be the MVP personally, inmy opinion, I believe Mahomes is the
MVP. I think that, Andthat's also that also goes into fact because
I think the Chiefs are gonna winthe game. A lot of these things
are tied into it to each other. For me, some people might disagree,
but I think that that's something thatI believe. So that kind of
ties in so matter. Mahomes towin MVPs at plus one twenty five,

(55:07):
now, I think that's that's agood number you make, You make your
money back, of course, andyou make some money on top of that.
And I think with him being thefavorite to an the MVP, I
think that's just a solid bet thatmost if most people believe the Chiefs win.
The person that you most likely aregonna believe that's gonna be the MVP
should be Patrick Mahomes. I don'tsee why you don't couple this bet with
the money line bet in some regard. So just take with that, do

(55:28):
with it what you will, guys. But I think that's pretty much majority
of what I wanted to discuss onhere. This isn't a full like I
said, this is just a SuperBowl special show, and I'm trying to
make sure I'd said I discussed everythingI said I was gonna discuss on the
on Instagram when I took the poll, and I'm trying to make sure I'm
being fair in terms of what Iam offering everybody. So I think that,

(55:49):
yeah, I think that's pretty muchgood. Unless I'm trying to think
because I know some people have thequestion about mahomes legacy and all this stuff,
and I feel like that's been bandiedabout all week. I think if
you've listened, if you've even listenedto any triage of shows on ESPN,
you definitely Hurt or Fox, youdefinitely heard the topic matter come up.
But with this does for Patrick mahomeslegacy. For me, if he wins
this, look his legacy, he'sstill he's gonna be one of the greatest
quarterbacks of all time. I thinkas it sits right now, when you're

(56:14):
talking about quarterbacks of all time,like, I think people are gonna end
up taking Mahomes over Rogers. Mahomesdoesn't have Rogers like longevity right now,
but him being able to win moreSuper Bowls, He's been to more Super
Bowls, his MVP trajectory is there. Offensive Player of the Years. I

(56:37):
think, I mean people are gonnatake Mahomes over Breeze. I don't think
Breeze has the one super Bowl andthe one MVP. I don't think that
Breeze is I don't know if peopleare gonna prefer Breeze's stats to Mahome and
this thing we're comparing like a halfwayMahomes to like full on right. And
I just think when you're talking aboutlegacy, if he wins the super Bowl,
like it's solidified, it's for himso many ways. I think the

(56:57):
only people that were then talking aboutwith Mahomes that respect is Tom Brady and
Montana if he wins the super Bowl. If he loses the super Bowl,
you still keep guys like Peyton Manningin the discussion and whatnot. But I
think that if he wins the superBowl. I think it becomes a way
more locked in race because people,I mean obviously analysts, media, everybody
has shown that the postseason matters moreto than the regular season, which is
what hurts Peyton Manning's case, right, because of his postseason looes. But

(57:22):
Peyton Manning in the regular season wasa dog. Five MVPs. It's just
nuts. You have five regular seasonMVPs in the NFL. That's crazy.
Mahome is already a third of theway to half of the way there with
two MVPs. So we'll see howthis goes. I'm very interested to see
how that plays. That it broughtparty wins, implications would be that then

(57:44):
he would be seen as a legitimatequarterback, right. I think that then
you'll see you start viewing him asa guy that can lead a team to
the super Bowl, regardless if youthink he needs the pieces or not.
He's shown that he can play goodenough football with that team that he can
lead them to a super Bowl.Whatever that means in terms of them investing
in him, I think it mightmean that he can now go to with

(58:04):
his agent and say, hey,look, we were good enough to win
this, right, and we weregood enough to command this and so I
think that that's one of those situationswhere that's almost like brock Purty's stamp of
approval is him winning a super Bowlwith that team. So we'll see how
that plays out for the forty nineers. I do think in terms of
a clock, the forty nine ershave to win this year. I think

(58:27):
it's so hard to retain talent foryears on end. To the degree the
forty nine ers have like they've beenso good for so long, and each
time they have the forty nine shave been good for that decade kind of
like how I noted what Nick hadsaid my friend when we were talking about
this is the fact that they've beengood for like a decade straight, right,
But then they have these pockets whenthey're just getting to NSC championships,
getting the Super Bowls, And they'vekind of been in this pocket for like

(58:50):
the last five to six years,even a little bit. They had that
little bit of a drop off inthe mid mid teams of the twenty tens
after the after college Kaepernick left orwhatever, after whatever happened with the Colin
Kaepernick scenario, and that after thatsituation happened, then they had that bit

(59:12):
of a law because they didn't havethe guy, they didn't have their quarterback.
And now now they're back in inthis situation, they're a better team
than they've ever been. And Ithink you if you're forty nine, oh
man, they gotta win the superBowl. They internally they are saying,
like, we have to win thisgame. And I know how hard it's
going to be to beat this teamto Sheief seemed because they lost to him

(59:32):
before, so it's gonna be tough. But guys, appreciate each and every
one of you for listening in.Everybody is tuning in. I know this
is gonna be a weekend episode,so I appreciate I know. No many
episodes do better during the weekdays becausenormal people will listen to them driving into
work during the early workday. Butnaturally on a weekend you're doing stuff with
family, friends, so it's hardto listen to a podcast. Those of
you take the time out to listento the podcast today, I appreciate you

(59:57):
more than you know. I alwaysappreciate everybody who supports the podcast as tunes
in of course, if you wantto support it even more, go ahead
and drop that five star review.If you like some of the episode content
that I put out for you,if you liked any of these bets,
these bets let make you some money. Let me know, go ahead and
tweet at KBR Sports at KBR UnderscoreSports, or tweet at me at Brendan
at Abin Brendan on Twitter stick withsomebody has my user name on there.

(01:00:17):
It's so annoying because you want totry and normally synergize all your handles and
stuff like that, but I couldn'tget it on Twitter sadly, so,
or you can message me on Instagramat brendan Abin. So there's that and
the prolonged rebrand of this thing that'sbeen going on forever. My girlfriend mocks
me about it at this point,which is pretty funny. Yeah, I
think I'm just gonna eventually just startpushing it right because I've been trying to

(01:00:38):
figure out ways to do it soin a way like you have. Because
the careful thing you have to beabout with a rebrand of your product is
that you're changing the name right soyou can assume a good amount of people
find your stuff as a search engineoptimization type of deal s c O SEO
and so naturally but what I've realizedthat recently because there's a company that also
shares in the first part of thename of kb are Sports. Some of

(01:01:00):
my SEO goes to them because youcan see where your search traffic is going
to or where it comes from.So some is going to those people,
and I don't know if people thenjust it's harder to see at what your
converts are from that point in time, so we'll see. But guys,
I appreciate everything you guys do forme. I always enjoy making this content
