00:00The books aren't necessarily looking for a side, right?
00:03They are not looking to take a side in the game.
00:06They may need one in a lopsided betting situation,
00:09but with two public teams like this and a short spread,
00:13they don't necessarily want to have to rely
00:15on the Chiefs winning or the Eagles winning
00:17in order for them to have a good or bad day.
00:19If they get 50% down the middle on the bets, great.
00:23We'll make it up somewhere else.
00:24They like the volume, obviously,
00:27and the juice paid to them,
00:29but prop bets and parlays are key and big winners,
00:34especially in the parlay front for the books.
00:37Yeah, 100%.
00:38I would imagine, if anything,
00:40they'll be rooting against Travis Kelsey
00:41scoring a touchdown,
00:43rooting against Saquon scoring multiple touchdowns,
00:45less than rooting for the Chiefs to cover one and a half.
00:49Correct.
00:50Saquon, minus 195 any time,
00:52plus 400 to score that first touchdown,
00:55and two touchdowns, plus 290,
00:57which is an amazingly short price to score two touchdowns.
01:01It's a very hard thing to predict.
01:02He scored three the other day,
01:04which would be 15 to one if he goes back to back
01:07on scoring three touchdowns.
01:09So did anything related to the lines,
01:13obviously a short line, Chiefs a short favorite,
01:15or the total, did that raise an eyebrow at all?
01:19I thought it was about what I expected,
01:21maybe a point higher on the total,
01:23but these were the hypothetical lines
01:26that were put out there,
01:27and they haven't moved at all.
01:29Yeah, the total, to me,
01:30seems lower than I kind of would have guessed,
01:33considering last year, you went to overtime,
01:36and the Chiefs, obviously,
01:38had been in a lot of close games again this year.
01:40I mean, it's hard to factor in having overtime,
01:44but I think it'll be a close game,
01:45given the fact that,
01:47while the Eagles can run the ball very well,
01:49they've shown that,
01:51the Chiefs can put up a lot of points in a quick hurry.
01:53So I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs got out ahead,
01:56and then the Eagles are kind of playing catch-up.
01:59They do have a lot of weapons of their own,
02:01so when there's so many big players involved,
02:04and so many names,
02:05and so many popular bets for any time touchdown,
02:07it's hard for me to see it being a low-scoring game.
