00:00Now to the first game of the weekend, the first of two on Saturday in a familiar setting for both
00:06teams. Def Texas, the Houston Texans, playing in an NFL playoff game with a start time of Saturday
00:124 30 p.m. Eastern Time and for the Kansas City Chiefs, the two-time reigning Super Bowl champs
00:18inside Arrowhead Stadium. Eight and a half points spread in favor of KC. Total stands at 41
00:25and a hook. Again, we are tracking the numbers and what we expect that to mean for how the game
00:31actually looks in this divisional round matchup. 41 and a hook, DRS, is our lowest total of all
00:38four games throughout divisional round weekend. Wild card weekend, we saw five or six games stay
00:44under. The only game to the over was the first one in Houston. Do you, like the odds makers,
00:51believe scoring will be at a premium come Saturday afternoon in KC? I do. I really do
00:57think scoring will be at a premium here. You have two really good defensive teams, two really good
01:01coordinators, and also if you're looking at launch points from an offensive perspective for Kansas
01:06City, Tyreek Hill's long gone there. So this is more of a team that's going to be, let's get three
01:11plays and 12 yards and three plays and 12 yards and continue going down the field. The same thing
01:16as we take a look at the Houston Texans, we're going to want to use Joe Mixon and then of course
01:20got Nico Collins, the most explosive player in the game. But we understand this, getting healthy
01:24at the right time for Kansas City, rested with a full week prep advantage to get ready for Houston.
01:29They'll be ready with Steve Spagnuolo. And also, as we take a look at, there's one game in a dome,
01:34which we are going to get to. You don't have to worry about any weather conditions whatsoever.
01:37You take a look at Kansas City, kickoff at 430 in the afternoon, eastern here, 22 degrees here.
01:43That'll dip below into the teens by the time you get to the fourth quarter. Precipitation
01:47and forecast. There's none, which is great, but windy conditions and a little bit gusty here
01:51over 10 miles an hour, gusting probably closer to 20 miles an hour that could play into it.
01:57I just look for a knockdown drag out battle, which we know with Kansas City,
02:01if you want to get into a shootout with them, they can engage you, but boy, they love nothing
02:05more than dragging this game all the way into the fourth quarter of a one possession game.
02:08And then saying, oh, we have to score on this drive. All right, let's go down and score in
02:12this drive, win this game and get out of here with a W and not covering a line of over,
02:16let's just say seven points here. So for me, I think it tracks again, then as an under.
