Now we switch it over to the AFC, the only
unbeaten team left in the NFL, the perfection of the
Kansas City Chiefs 9 and O, which will get tested
this week against the Buffalo Bills, who currently sit in
the second seed in the AFC at an 8 and
two record.
Let's start up top right away, Chiefs, Bills, Steelers and
Texans.
If the season ended today as a division champions here.
Any surprises in those two?
And also, how much longer can Kansas City stay unbeaten?
Is it a matter of hours?
Is it a matter of days?
Is it weeks here, Dubsy?
Or does it ever come where the Chiefs just run
the table?
No, they're probably going to win 5 Super Bowls in
a row.
It's it's going to be the 72 Dolphins all again.
Come on Donnie, get out of here.
The Kansas City Chiefs again said for their first loss
of the season.
It's coming against the Buffalo Bills who have absolutely owned
them.
Call them daddy in the regular season if you will.
And taking a look at the AFC, absolutely agree with
the board here.
You know, Chiefs, Bills well, in terms of the odds,
I should say that the Chiefs and the Bills stand
out for for me.
But I do think there's been a considerable drop off
for the Steelers and the Texans if we're taking a
look at the leaders of each division here.
So it's the Chiefs up top plus 185.
Baltimore scary out, but it's Lamar Jackson at those scary
times, which concerns me.
I like the bills there and a nice little 4
to one number.
But outside of that, I think a couple of these
teams I'm not convinced on.
Don't you know, the charges at 15 to one?
They could do something.
Joey Burrows trying to do everything in his power to
get the Bengals back in this thing.
But a couple of outliers.
And I do think there's a couple of other teams
who maybe on the inside who should be looking towards
the outside.
I think the wheels could be getting said to come
off the the old bus not too far away.
Here's where I love to talk about the AFC and
it's perfect.
Dubs, you were doing it on this Wednesday as compared
to even a few weeks back.
You are going to get the Kansas City Chiefs and
the Buffalo Bills toe to toe this weekend.
You know us, you're getting the Pittsburgh Steelers and the
Baltimore Ravens.
So answer me this question.
Still a long way to go even after this week.
Will you start to change your opinion on who's the
most dominant team in the AFC based on this weekend's
games?
Absolutely.
You know, call them a referendum spot, if you will.
This is gonna be the measuring stick, the full test
of what we're actually working with and for a couple
of big contenders, show me a little something.
I mean, for the Kansas City Chiefs, I'll be the
first guy to put their hand up and say I've
discounted them all season long saying they're not what their
record is.
But you are.
You're undefeated for a very good reason, even if you
continue to let these teams stick around long enough.
I like what I've seen from the Buffalo Bills.
I think Josh Allen is putting together an MVP type
season.
I think that's going to be a fantastic spot.
You look at the Baltimore Ravens at 7:00 and 3:00,
Lamar Jackson, King Henry going against the Steelers, who know
how to bring you down to their level and play
a real gritty sort of hardline, you know, still knows
kind of football.
And for Pittsburgh, I think this is the real test
that we finally get to see as well.
Donnie.
They're on the flip side for Danger Ross, who's now
got his his mojo back.
I don't want to say the term aura.
I, you know, I feel like that's a new term
that's just getting thrown around far too lightly.
But Danger Rust is playing with a bit of aura
there a quarterback for the Steelers.
So I think this is a nice little testing spot
for a lot of teams who ride the thick of
it as as we push through the second-half of the
season.
What a measuring stick Sunday we have.
Like I can't wait to watch those two games play
out because it can change the bounce.
Like you tell me, the Chiefs, like last year Dubs
in the playoffs.
No way I thought the Chiefs were going in the
Buffalo and winning their playoff game.
They did that.
No way I thought the Chiefs were going into the
AFC championship game on the road against Baltimore and winning
that game.
They did that.
No way.
I thought Kansas City was going into the Super Bowl
and knocking off the more talented San Francisco 49ers and
they did that.
So nothing will surprise me for Kansas City if they
do go in the Buffalo this weekend and improve to
a perfect ten.
And oh, if we're looking at some of those CART
teams currently standing right now, the Ravens as a wild
card team at 7:00 and 3:00.
The charges who I love with Jim Harbaugh 6 and
three.
The Denver Broncos would be in if the season ended
today.
But let me ask you this question on the horizon
here.
The Cincinnati Bengals sitting at 4 and 60.
Higgins expected to be back.
The chances for the Bengals to jump the Colts and
the Broncos.
It doesn't seem like that big of a task.
Dead in the water seemingly just a few weeks ago.
The Bengals, what's your prognosis for them and the chances
they can actually do some damage in the playoffs if
they make it in?
They really needed that one last week going against the
Baltimore Ravens.
So to to make matters a little worse, it doesn't
get any easier coming out here to the West Coast
to take on the charges who I think are another
team who's who's searching in the right direction.
But I mean, second part of the questions only yes,
the Bengals would absolutely scare the life at a lot
of these teams if they could somehow, you know, sneak
their way into the playoffs.
If they can get through the charges, it doesn't get
much easier the week after that.
They've got Steelers on deck than the Cowboys, but you
cannot go against Joey Burrow.
It doesn't matter what he's working with.
If T Higgins comes back, fantastic.
You've got Jamar Chase.
The run game is there.
Chase Brown has looked fantastic, and then he's got the
big bad tight end in Mike Gassecki.
There's just something about Joe Burrow having that dog in
him and trying to do everything in his power to
keep the Bengals season alive.
This is the test, Donnie.
I don't want to say the season is over if
they cannot get the win here in Week 11 going
against the Chargers, but that that uphill battle, it gets
a lot steeper if they cannot get the chocolates out
here in the West Coast for Week 11.
