00:00 We're in Vegas, we're at the Super Bowl, we got the Niners, we got the Chiefs.
00:04 What do you think is going to happen this week?
00:05 Obviously, Pat's been here a bunch.
00:07 A lot.
00:08 He knows exactly what's at stake.
00:10 He knows how, you know, the pressures of the game, how to operate it, how to do all that.
00:14 And he's tough to beat.
00:16 Someone's got to win.
00:16 I don't care who the hell it is.
00:18 I care that guys get through healthy and I want our running backs to pop off.
00:21 Well, Brock Purdy's going to have to do it.
00:23 I think he can do it.
00:24 I've got a lot of respect for him.
00:25 He's going to have to drop back and, you know, be able to dice him up and pass the ball
00:29 without the players.
00:30 I think the Niners are going to run the ball well, and I think the Chiefs are going to
00:34 throw the ball well.
00:34 San Fran's defense definitely has more big names on it, but I feel like Chiefs, their
00:39 defense is just, they're playing better sound defense right now.
00:42 Patrick isn't rattled by any defense.
00:44 He wasn't rattled by this defense last year when he played against them.
00:47 His dad was a Marino fan.
00:49 He wears 13, so I want to see him win.
00:52 Yeah, okay, so you heard him first.
00:54 He wants the Niners, he wants Brock Purdy to win.
00:57 I think Brock's got a little chip on his shoulder after getting hurt in the NFC Championship
01:00 game last year and not getting a chance to play in it.
01:02 And I think the extra motivation for him is everybody's talking about how he's a game
01:05 manager.
01:06 I think Brock Purdy is the best story in the last two decades.
01:11 I have probably more friendships on San Fran, so I probably will want San Fran to win.
01:16 The Niners, with their ability to run the ball and play action, I think that they're
01:21 a tough matchup with anybody.
01:22 I'm going to take the Chiefs, man.
01:23 I can't bet against Mahomes, man, you know?
01:26 So I'm going to go with the Chiefs, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a long four-quarter
01:30 game.
01:30 I have no idea who's going to win, actually.
01:33 It's a toss-up.
01:33 It really comes down to, I think, how Brock Purdy performs.
01:37 Not Kansas City's going to win, but I mean, I wonder.
01:39 I'll 49ers by a field goal.
01:41 I do think the Chiefs will win.
01:42 It's hard to bet against Mahomes.
01:43 I mean, every time you doubt them, they find a way.
01:46 I'm leaning towards San Fran just because, but it's going to come down to those quarterbacks.
01:51 Somebody's going to have to make a certain play.
