00:00So Buffalo in Houston, right?
00:05Well, we'll start from the game standpoint.
00:06How much are they going to miss Von Miller?
00:08If there was a game that they would love to have him, this would be it, right?
00:11So I think the Texans, I'm surprised, it's basically pick them.
00:15I like Houston at home here.
00:17I'm with you. I like Houston as well.
00:19Talked about this last night with Carver.
00:21I mean, Von Miller only played seven snaps last week, but
00:24that's because Baltimore's just running the ball down their throat.
00:27That's not what he does.
00:29I don't know why Buffalo's favorite in this game.
00:31I know Houston hasn't quite hit their stride yet, Scotty.
00:33I get it, they're not quite there.
00:35And I am curious to see what Joe Mixon's status will be for this game.
00:39I think that's big, too, if he's back.
00:42I said, I just, I don't know.
00:43I like Buffalo a lot.
00:44They're a good team here, but it's in Houston.
00:46I think Houston's a good team as well.
00:47They're winning games.
00:48They're finding ways to win.
00:49Buffalo got shellacked Monday night, short week, then you go on the road.
00:52No, I'm with you.
00:53Give me the Houston Texans.
00:54Yeah, the only thing I can come up with, George,
00:57is there's different levels of success, right?
00:59You go from bad, then generally you go to mediocre,
01:03then you go to pretty good, then you go to really good.
01:06And among those steps is winning games by more than what you're supposed to,
01:11i.e. covering the spread as a favorite.
01:14And as great as CJ Stroud has been for this year plus,
01:18he's not good as a favorite, three and eight against the spread.
01:21They win a lot of those games, like last week against Jacksonville, but
01:25it hasn't been great covering the spread.
01:27So maybe just maybe the boys in Vegas are reluctant to make them even a two and
01:31a half, or I would think a three-point favorite, right?
01:34If this wasn't Houston, if this was, you know, pick a team, you know,
01:38Buffalo or Baltimore last week, right?
01:40What was Baltimore?
01:41Two and a half-point favorites, right?
01:42You know, two really good football teams.
01:44They would make the home team generally a two and a half to three-point favorite
01:48just because you're at home.
01:49Maybe they're just reluctant to make the Texans favorites because they know
01:52everyone's going to be betting against them because they've just not been
01:55successful in Vegas, you know, winning games by more than what they should.
02:01Could very well be.
02:02We know the, you know, what Vegas generally wants to do is they want to get
02:05half the people betting one side, half the people betting the other side.
02:07Buffalo, I think, is a more public team, sure.
02:10People may not trust Houston yet.
02:12And I think that's all valid, by the way.
02:14I, you know, generally the home team gets about a point and a half.
02:17So they're calling this game pretty much a coin flip.
02:19Yeah, 50-50, take your choice.
02:21I just, you listen, you're going to give me a couple of points,
02:23so a point and a half with Houston.
02:25You know, I'm going to take it.
02:26I'm just kind of going to take it.
02:27I would take it now, by the way, because I think this is going to go down.
02:29I wouldn't be surprised by game time if we're down.
02:31Really, we are down to a half even straight up anyway here.
02:35I think the money will come in on Houston as the game moves along here.
02:37I just checked on Mixon.
02:38There's no update on him.
02:40Last we heard was that Ryan said that he was day-to-day, but
02:43this is a game time on Sunday, or Monday, I should say, right?
02:46Today's Wednesday, yeah, Monday.
02:48So there should be some more information coming out as they practice or
02:52finish practice today, tomorrow, Friday, we'll see there.
02:55But if Mixon's on the, if he's on the field, I think Houston's got this one.
03:00Yeah, I tell you, you know, you look at futures, right, and you want to find
03:05a team that might upset the apple cart and actually beat Kansas City.
03:09You know, I don't think Buffalo, they haven't when they were really full,
03:11full strength, you know, and great.
03:13I don't think this year's version is going to do it.
03:16Miami, clearly, you know, we thought maybe, just maybe.
03:19They're not obviously going to do it.
03:21Cincinnati has some struggles, and I'm a Bengals rooter.
03:25I'm not a fan.
03:26I like the Dolphins, but I love that Bengals team.
03:28But boy, they can't stop anybody running the football.
03:32I don't think they're going to do it.
03:33San Diego, well, the Chargers aren't, you know, on that class.
03:37There's really, to me, George, only one team standing, and
03:40that's the Houston Texans.
03:41So getting decent odds right now, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world
03:46to have the Texans ticket win in the AFC.
