00:00I think it's notable that we're at least seeing, I'm going to say, a touch of clarity when it comes to the Chiefs' backfield.
00:10And this has been something that we've discussed on this show since Isaiah Pacheco has come back for the Chiefs.
00:17And again, we saw a bit of it last week. It's maybe not to the same degree just because Kareem Hunt only had eight carries last week.
00:24Pacheco had five.
00:25A part of me wants to say, as I kind of mentioned at halftime, I don't know if Pacheco's like 100% healthy.
00:31And seeing Kareem Hunt with 17 carries tonight when Isaiah Pacheco only had five, I think that tells the story of, I want to say, what we should be seeing if things operate rationally once they get to the Super Bowl.
00:45Maybe people were saying, oh, this is a 50-50 split in the backfield for the Chiefs.
00:50Maybe it's looking like 70-30.
00:53And we can use some of that looking at the props once we start to dive into the Super Bowl because 17-5 is a pretty big discrepancy.
01:02Again, last week versus the Texans, it was 8-5 for Kareem Hunt over Pacheco.
01:07But, I mean, Pacheco still, five carries for 18 yards was not good.
01:12Tonight, five carries for 12 yards.
01:14So regardless of the volume, the efficiency from Kareem Hunt is just so, so much better, again, what we saw this week, what we saw for a portion of last week against the Texans.
01:24So Kareem Hunt being more involved, more Travis Kelsey in two weeks, I should say, not next week, but in two weeks, Travis Kelsey being more involved than he was tonight.
01:34It's not going to be two catches for 19 yards.
01:37And then we will see, I'm going to say, a good mix of worthy Juju Smith-Schuster, Hollywood Brown, and DeAndre Hopkins.
01:46And at times, it can be tough to pinpoint who's going to see, I would say, the lion's share of the work after Kelsey.
01:54It does appear to be worthy, but even if we know it's going to be worthy after that, there are some opportunities in the passing market, the receiving market for the Chiefs, just because there's not a lot of clarity.
02:06So when we don't think Marquise Hollywood Brown is going to be involved, we can take unders.
02:11We can take unders on DeAndre Hopkins, who has been very quiet over the first two games of the postseason for the Chiefs.
02:18Maybe we will see Juju play a big role in the playoffs or in the Super Bowl, as we saw him in the past with the Chiefs.
02:27And then once we get to the Eagles side of things, obviously we know where their offense starts with Saquon Barkley, but it was a huge game from A.J. Brown today.
02:36Devonta Smith, Dallas Scott, we can break down a little bit, and we will go on from there.
