Will the Patriots be the ONE SEED?! 🤯 How WILD could the AFC get? | SVPod

I got a question for you about the AFC. Start with your Steve’s question on the AFC. On the bet show we had there was a prop uh offered on the app. The current division winners or the field to win the AFC. So the current division leaders New England, Pittsburgh, Indie, Denver. Yeah. Or the field. Yeah. Field. Field was minus 190. That’s cuz I get Buffalo. I get Baltimore. I get Kansas City. Yeah. Yeah, I’ll take Did you just say Baltimore? You’re damn right I did. Oh my god, I’m right. How’d your How the The Dolphins look good? They have more effort against Baltimore. Poop town. Yeah, they’re going to stay there. Okay. They should have never gotten out again. I’m I’m the slum lord of poop town, not you. You could set up doodoo village. I got doodoo village. That’s fine. You could put every And you want to know what? Everyone will be in there. Your whole the whole flea according to it’s almost well the the that’s a great that’s a great prop content piece for a show about that because we love Rael. May looks the part. New England beat Buffalo in Buffalo. Their schedule is easy. They’re going to be a playoff team. I think they’re going to get home field. That’s saying a lot. I think Buff They beat Buffalo. I still think Buffalo’s better. Buffalo beats Kansas City again. Excuse me. Again, regular season. I’ve talked about this at Nauseium. Every time you beat them, there’s value in it. It validates that you’re as good as them or better, but Kansas City has the ultimate trump card, which is see you in January. And you can’t say about that until January. The problem for the Chiefs, and we covered it last night on Countdown with Jason, they’ve already got four losses, Steve. And the whole if the playoffs started today, they don’t. But the point is they are not a they’re not in the field at the moment. They will be, but they’ll almost certainly have to play wild card weekend and almost certainly on the road. And having to win four versus having to win three, it’s just math. And they showed a couple of years ago going to Buffalo and Baltimore consecutive weeks and winning. They’ve certainly got that in the toolkit. Mhm. It just ramps up the ask significantly. And so you’ve been saying they’re the best team with at at five and four. Are you off that at all? No. Still feel like they’re the one? Yeah. Okay. And I’m not trying to talk you out of it. Momes was under 50% for the first time in his career. And it’s been the same since forever. If you’re old enough to go back in the day to Stalach or Bradshaw, people are going who? I’ll make it more reasonable for our younger listeners. Brady, you know who that was. Or if it’s Mahomes or if it was golf the other day. You just have to bother these guys. And Buffalo did. Philadelphia beat the crap out of him in the play in the Super Bowl because they harassed him all day. Made him uncomfortable. Um that’s what’s required. Otherwise, he’s going to kill you. He’s going to kill you. Where are you with Indie? Um, I can’t make a case for him. Okay. When you’re talking about those other teams, I don’t think, right, I understand. I think they’re real. They get They got a big one coming. They play Kansas. They go to Arrowhead. They go to Arrowhead. Well, Kansas City’s next game after the buy this week is in Denver. I’m going to get to Denver in a minute. Indie going to Pittsburgh. A team. their Steelers defense people were writing the obit for them. I mean Damen Woody on me on with me Thursday night. He’s like look most of their most of their defensive stars are on milk cartons. Like where are they? They are missing one two three four five six turnovers. But to the Colts credit they’re still swinging until the end that Pittsburgh couldn’t put them away. I I that impressed me because generally you have six turnovers old Colts team that’s a 40-10 game you lose. They didn’t. But can’t make a case for them relative to some teams who were much more familiar with because they’ve done it. That’s that’s a spot where you got to do it. Change change the the the image. Go to Pittsburgh and win. That’s fair. You know, so no argument. Pittsburgh still leads the division. It’s a big win for them. The Chargers get a win by seven over the Titans. They lose Alt. That is a disaster for them. They lost Slater to start the year. Now they lose all. You’re talking about two allp prolevel tackles that they’ve lost. And this is where the next man up just doesn’t make sense. Look at Washington. If the next man up was as good as the first man up, well, they wouldn’t be the the next man up. They’d already be the guy. I don’t know what to make of them. Denver’s more even more confusing to me because they have far too many quarters where they don’t do anything. And they I guess I mean Knicks. Three quarters of nothing against the Giants. One insane quarter where they lead the NFL in scoring differential in the fourth quarter. But if you keep winning games that way, I think you can relate to this analogy. I’ll make your boy a lot of times would wait until the last night before a test to crack open the book. No way. I do not believe that. Or to sit down and let me crack open the old typewriter here and type out a paper. If you consistently wait until the night before the test to take a test, you will sooner than later have a test. you do not have the answers for. And Denver just said it about Green Bay. I just feel like they dick around too much with teams that they beat the Jets 13 to 11 in overseas somewhere. London Luxembourg. What? What? I don’t think it was Luxembourg. Likenstein. I don’t think it was there. I was not I wasn’t They should get games. I wasn’t expecting you to pull Luxembourg for the Denver New York Jet game. The defense is great for sure. And Knicks has flashes, sure. And they’re seven and two, so cool. But there’s too many empty quarters and too many games where you have to rely on that fourth quarter differential. I just don’t want to live in that space where that’s the way you’ve have to win games. That’s my hangup with them. I got nothing. You had Luxembourg. Yeah, I watched the game that that between Straoud getting hurt, Mills coming in, Knicks, there was like six interceptions completely dropped in that game. Ugly. Not if you had Fair Baron as your kicker. Fantasy. What’s up? What’s up?
