00:00And the one that everyone's going to be looking at would be the Broncos.

00:02If we can jump to some early lines for next week, the Broncos are at home.

00:07They are eight and a half point home favorites taking on the Kansas City Chiefs,

00:10which is obviously not a line that you expect with the Broncos at home taking on Chiefs,

00:14but it's obviously under the assumption that Patrick Mahomes does not play for Kansas City.

00:20Probably not going to be seeing, maybe not Isaiah Pacheco,

00:23Travis Kelsey, etc, etc, for the Chiefs because they are fully locked into the number one seed.

00:27They have literally nothing to play for.

00:30So, this is what we may be seeing from a number of teams around the league,

00:34is that they will be resting their starters.

00:36If they are secure, another team could be the Buffalo Bills.

00:40One today, massive win over the Jets.

00:42They are one and a half point road favorites taking on the Pats.

00:46The Bills were just 14 and a half point favorites two weeks ago against the Pats.

00:49You'd expect this line to be at six and a half, maybe seven,

00:53but there's literally no reason for Josh Allen to play.

00:57So, a lot can go on between the lines where they are now,

01:03and once we get to Sunday, depending on who gets ruled in or out,

01:07one line we also could be taking a look at that could change would be the Eagles

01:11at minus three and a half taking on the New York Giants.

01:14Now, you'd like to see this line, or you'd expect, I should say,

01:16to see this line a little bit higher, at least a touchdown,

01:20if not pushing to that nine and a half, ten, whatever it might be,

01:24but we know that Jalen Hurts didn't play this week,

01:27and not only did Jalen Hurts not play this week,

01:29Kenny Pickett got hurt in game for the Eagles.

01:34Saquon Barkley is setting and breaking records.

01:36He's approaching records, but the Eagles are also locked into their spot.

01:40So, do they need to have Hurts out there?

01:42Do they need to have Saquon out there?

01:44Will Kenny Pickett even be good to go?

01:46So, there's so many things going on.
