00:02 We go Sunday night football at the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.
00:07 It's the Packers who have won two straight games as a six point home
00:10 underdog against the Kansas City Chiefs in over under at 42 and a half.
00:16 Donnie, the line earlier this week, six and a half.
00:18 That hook has been taken off now at that flat number of six.
00:22 The Chiefs have been a favorite in all 11 games.
00:25 And unlike years past, Kansas City is covering at a pretty good clip.
00:29 They're seven and four against the number as a favorite this year.
00:33 >> Yeah, needed a wake up game and they got one against the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:35 Took the loss, had to recalibrate and even stepped into a game against
00:38 the Las Vegas Raiders and got down 14 nothing right away.
00:41 Showed their metal and gumption.
00:42 I'm like, you know what, let's finally try to kick start our 2023 NFL season and
00:46 I believe they did that.
00:47 I'm actually kind of surprised though to see this lumber so strong.
00:50 Kansas City is a minus six point favorite at home against the Packers.
00:53 I go, yeah, that sounds about right.
00:55 But minus six on the road against the Green Bay Packers.
00:57 And also keep in mind, the Packers have been playing much,
01:00 much better on offense over the past few weeks as they did to open up the NFL season.
01:04 But also if you're taking into account the running back positions,
01:07 really banged up in the room there for the Green Bay Packers.
01:10 Dylan, I know returned back to practice.
01:12 Doesn't look like Jones is probably gonna give it a go this weekend.
01:14 And that's not a bad thing.
01:15 They've been dealing with these injuries for the past couple weeks and
01:17 Jordan Love has really stepped up to the plate.
01:20 So, you know guys, I'm a legitimate NFL quarterback.
01:22 Now it's my time.
01:23 I'm finally getting the field down.
01:24 Let me spin it in the pocket.
01:25 Matt LaFleur has been letting him do that.
01:27 Having said that, I still do think going into Green Bay,
01:30 it's a little bit of a challenge here.
01:31 Cooler conditions, 32 degrees at kickoff, no precipitation, light winds here.
01:35 Should be just fine for passing and Patrick Mahomes.
01:37 He's got another nice number, Ben, in the mid 250s here that I think he gets over.
01:42 And also, maybe we're seeing some of these younger wide receivers like Rasheed Rice go from,
01:46 hey, look, I'm priced at 25 and a half yards.
01:49 Now I'm priced at 30 yards, 35 and a half, 40 yards.
01:52 Maybe he is the go-to guy to take some of that relief efforts away from Travis Kelso.
01:56 It's like, hey, Travis, if you're not open, we can't move the football.
01:59 I like what I see, or should I say, I like what I saw last week from the Vegas Raiders game
02:03 with the offense for the Kansas City Chiefs.
02:05 And also, as I said, the Green Bay Packers, they're going to be able to score in this game.
02:08 I like the Chiefs' defense, but the Packers no longer one of those teams that look like,
02:11 ah, unbettable and like a team total line.
02:13 They're legit now.
