0:00

Live from New York, it's the

0:02

show that is a few minutes

0:04

away from Bruce's official Super Bowl

0:06

pick. Wow. And he has been

0:09

grinding, he told you, all week.

0:12

Two weeks. Two weeks. Yeah, congratulations. You

0:14

made it, buddy. You made it. Just

0:16

hold on. It's first things first. Today

0:19

is Patrick Mahomes a lock to

0:22

win his third Super

0:24

Bowl MVP. Wow. Meanwhile, in

0:27

just over half an hour following

0:29

Bruce's pick, De'Jana Robinson joins

0:31

the show live in studio via

0:33

a remote. But it won't feel

0:36

like he's in studio. And

0:38

finally, what are the chances that Erty

0:40

has an A-game on Sunday? It's a

0:42

little bit of a Cowboys franchise that

0:44

we're bringing up. Oh, yeah. Alongside Chris

0:46

Broussard, who we'll hear from in just

0:49

a second, I'm Kevin Wilds. Nick. Yeah.

0:52

Do you have any hints from the teaser of

0:54

which way Bruce is going? Well, it

0:56

looked like he saw something on the board and pointed

0:58

to it. But what he was pointing to was

1:00

heads or tails. So I do not know.

1:03

I don't know. I don't know. Those

1:05

were both teams' playbooks. Oh, really? That's

1:07

what was on the board. Wow. I

1:09

haven't had both teams playbooks. All right.

1:11

Well, let's kick it off. We start

1:13

with the moment we've all been waiting

1:16

for, the Super Bowl of

1:18

Super Bowl picks. Chris Broussard, who

1:20

has been on a legacy-defining

1:23

streak of accurate predictions, dating

1:26

back to the Warriors, to be honest with

1:28

you. That's right. That's right. He has grinded

1:30

the All-22, consulted experts, and for

1:32

some reason has been jumping rope.

1:35

All for this moment. So without further

1:37

ado, Brew, who wins Super

1:39

Bowl 58? Well,

1:41

look, as you guys saw, it wasn't easy.

1:44

No. I mean, I needed the physical exercise

1:46

because I was spending hours at that board

1:48

going over the plays, the Chiefs plays, what

1:50

Spags might do, what Reid might do, so

1:52

on and so forth. So I just needed

1:55

a little physical relief. That's what that was

1:57

about when I was spending the night here.

2:00

And people might think it was easy, that you might think

2:02

it was easy. Cause look, the

2:04

Chiefs, I said all week, and that

2:07

my two weeks of study did not

2:09

change my mind on, the

2:11

Chiefs should be favored. Okay. I'm

2:14

still shocked that the Niners, not that they don't

2:16

have a chance, when I was shocked at their

2:18

favorite. Cause look, the Chiefs have been better in

2:20

the playoffs. Yeah. They got the best

2:22

quarterback in the world. They got the

2:24

best coach arguably right now in the world.

2:27

They've got the defense that has been

2:29

better than the Niners

2:31

this year, or at least certainly lately.

2:33

And they've got the experience now, but

2:35

what tripped me up, the

2:38

Niners are not without hope though, because

2:41

the Chiefs play man coverage about as much

2:43

as anybody. They can go zone, they went

2:45

to zone against Miami, but they like to

2:47

play a lot of man. And

2:50

the Niners are great against man with their, you

2:52

know, with Kittle and all their weapons, D4 and

2:54

all those guys. They got, yes, they got a

2:56

lot of weapons. So they eat up man. Spags

2:59

loves to blitz. I mean, he devastated

3:01

the Ravens with the blitz. Guess

3:04

who's the best quarterback in the league

3:06

against the blitz? Don't tell me, Purdy.

3:08

Yeah. Look at yards per pass. This

3:10

is all against the blitz. Pass, TDs,

3:12

passer rating. He eats

3:14

up the blitz and they

3:17

as a team eat up man

3:19

coverage. Also, Nick, if

3:21

there's a, isn't that a weakness, but the

3:23

weakest part of the Chiefs defense, I would

3:26

say is the run defense.

3:29

15 of their 20 games, including the playoffs, they

3:31

gave up more than a hundred yards rushing. So

3:34

we know that Niners had the best running back

3:36

in the world. So they, and

3:39

the thing about Shanahan, he will not go

3:41

away. If it's working, he won't go away

3:43

from it. Like for some reason, Baltimore did.

3:45

All right. So I took all

3:47

of that into consideration. And

3:49

then I, there's another factor. It's

3:52

called Mojo. Yeah. This is Kyle

3:56

Shanahan. Is he going to

3:58

fail again? I mean, this

4:00

is three times on the big stage,

4:02

I mean, including championship games. Do you

4:04

think he's on pumpkin alert? It was... I

4:08

don't know. I wouldn't say pumpkin alert like you said.

4:10

But he better win. He needs to win this

4:12

game. Also, the Niners

4:14

have been... You

4:16

could argue they should have lost the

4:18

last two games, but they found a

4:21

way. And while I think the

4:23

Chiefs should definitely be the favorite, I know they're not

4:25

for some reason, we've seen

4:27

a lot of upsets in Super Bowls. I

4:30

mean, Tom Brady upset by Nick Foles,

4:32

Tom Brady upset by Eli Manning, Tom

4:34

Brady himself is a first year starter,

4:36

upsets Kurt Warner, the greatest show on

4:38

turf. Gentlemen, please remove the hat. Oh

4:41

my gosh, you're not going to get excited.

4:43

You're not going to do it in the

4:45

third straight. I hate to ruin what would

4:47

be a wonderful trip to Kansas City this

4:49

week. No, he's not doing it. Wow!

4:53

Wow! Niners! I

4:55

did not see that happening. I saw it. Oh

4:58

my gosh. This is objective. Just

5:00

give me the Niners, yes! Wow.

5:03

That's right. Wow. I'm shocked.

5:06

I am too. This is going to ruin our

5:08

birthday. People think that we... Oh, you got to

5:10

go against the Chiefs. No. I

5:12

was totally convinced. I

5:17

was so convinced Brew was going to

5:19

pick the Chiefs. That's why we have

5:21

waited until today for this. Brew obviously

5:23

had to do all his research. But

5:27

I was so convinced you were going to pick the

5:29

Chiefs. I was like, well, if you pick them on

5:31

Monday, a lot of the rest of the week of

5:33

shows is going to be anticlimactic. My goodness. This is

5:35

going to be your worst time going against

5:37

the Chiefs. Because you picked the

5:39

Bills to beat them. The last time was pretty bad. No.

5:42

The Ravens. Well, you picked the Bills to beat them, and

5:44

that game was close. You picked the

5:46

Ravens to beat them, and that

5:48

game, the final score

5:50

was close, but it didn't feel close.

5:53

This game, the final score will not

5:55

be close, and it will not

5:57

feel close. Well, you know my theory.

6:00

on when to put on a winter coat.

6:03

Oh yeah, I don't love this theory, but

6:05

it is a theory. So it is, I'm

6:07

a big believer in getting acclimated. I'm

6:10

a big believer in, so in the winter,

6:13

I wait as long as possible to put on

6:15

a coat, so then when it's actually really cold,

6:17

the coat actually provides me some warmth. As opposed

6:19

to when I was wearing it when it was

6:21

40 degrees out. Kansas City

6:23

has been getting acclimated

6:26

to tough post-season opponents,

6:28

and now they get a breather. Kansas City

6:31

had to go from Josh Allen to

6:34

Lamar Jackson, and now

6:36

they're down to Brock Purdy. This would be like

6:38

if in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, you had King Hippo,

6:40

then you beat Mike Tyson, and then all of

6:42

a sudden they're like, wait, before you win, Sota

6:44

Pafinski's coming through. You're like, well, that's easy. I

6:47

just beat Tyson. It's a video game from 20

6:49

years ago. 30 years, I was really

6:51

closer to 30 years ago, but the audience gets

6:53

after my time. Go ahead, go ahead. The Kansas

6:55

City's defense, on the other hand, has

6:58

just dealt with the Baltimore Ravens defense,

7:01

the only defense in football that had

7:03

an argument they were better than the

7:05

Chiefs this year, and Kansas City found

7:07

a way to move the football in.

7:10

What have the Niners been doing? The

7:13

Niners have been defensively going

7:15

up against the Packers, don't argue anything about

7:17

it, Wilds, they were a bad defense, and

7:20

the Lions, who were a bad defense. What

7:22

have they gone against? Quarterback wise, and now

7:24

they're going up against the best defense in

7:26

football Kansas City. Quarterback wise,

7:28

Jordan Love, who's a good player, but

7:31

overachieved at the end of the year,

7:33

first year in the postseason, and Jared

7:35

Goff, who's a fine player, and now

7:37

you are going up against someone who

7:40

is trying to become the greatest player

7:42

of all time. And this postseason, despite

7:44

the Chiefs having the far harder

7:46

path of opponents, how have

7:48

they done in those games? How have they looked?

7:50

If we can show it to you, the Chiefs

7:52

have controlled all three

7:55

games, trailing for just 12%

7:57

of the time. The Niners

7:59

have... lived from behind. And

8:02

then I will add one last thing on

8:04

this note. Brock Purdy this

8:07

year when the Niners have

8:09

lost has played poorly and we can

8:12

show it to you on what you

8:14

are going to see against

8:16

a dominant Chief Steven that

8:19

led the league in batted passes which

8:21

is a big problem for an undersized

8:23

quarterback that as Bruce says does not

8:26

have a great offensive line in front

8:28

of him you're gonna see passes batted

8:30

down you're gonna see Brandon Ayuk a

8:32

race by Lagerius need because if you

8:34

can erase Justin Jefferson and the

8:37

best receive Tyree kill twice you can

8:39

erase Brandon Ayuk George Kittle and his

8:41

40 playoff yards per

8:43

game doesn't scare anybody and unless Christian

8:46

McCaffrey pulls off a Terrell Davis in

8:48

the 97 Super Bowl this

8:50

isn't America this should be an epic but

8:52

it won't be 31-13 and 31-30 and to

8:55

be fair I did not call for a

8:57

blowout against

9:01

Baltimore I called for a six-point game

9:03

and against Buffalo I said 34-24 and it in 27-24

9:05

thanks to a fumble at the goal line so I have not

9:11

been calling for blowouts throughout this

9:13

postseason I think this is the

9:15

weakest opponent Kansas played since Miami

9:17

in round one which is interesting

9:20

because obviously most of the year

9:23

they look like the best team until

9:25

they struggled and then Baltimore waxed them

9:27

and then Baltimore looked like the best

9:29

team five weeks ago it

9:31

would have been like they would have been a heavier favorite now

9:33

I don't even like I said I don't even think they should

9:35

be favorite but they would have been a

9:37

heavier favorite so I and

9:39

I expect that defense was bad last week or

9:42

two weeks ago but I think they're

9:44

gonna bounce back they got some pride okay

9:46

are we you're really rolling with the Iowa

9:49

Mafia big time are

9:51

are we moving on wilds yeah but I'm

9:53

not one more question good because I got

9:55

someone as well but the question is this

9:57

room Wow this

9:59

shot I am both of you

10:01

guys are shocked. You're like disappointed. I'm

10:03

not disappointed Well if you were a

10:05

few things for the audience one

10:09

The way this show works You 100%

10:11

asked with you. It's a little bit

10:13

like when you believe in Santa Claus when you're like

10:15

11 years old you're like I

10:18

kind of have a feeling what's going on here, but I'm gonna

10:20

go along with it I kind of have an idea when the

10:22

banners drop I kind of you know I got

10:24

a sense of it Right I had

10:26

no idea this was coming zero the

10:28

second reason. I'm a little bit disappointed

10:33

Is because I feel like You

10:36

know better yeah, I

10:38

do in your decades we will

10:40

find of journalism There's

10:43

a certain tenant that belongs right up there

10:45

next to the phrase that

10:47

I coined defense wins championships And

10:50

that's don't bet against greatness and

10:53

however good you think Brock Purdy is we

10:55

know that there is one guy who is?

10:58

Undebateably great and

11:01

to pick against them yes in

11:03

the Super Bowl seems like it goes

11:05

against years for

11:09

this LeBron is Objectively

11:11

right then he's already times you

11:13

also Tom Brady. Yeah Brown

11:16

is lost it. I didn't I

11:18

didn't have brew please don't dusty

11:20

the board I I didn't know

11:22

here's the problem. Oh surprising me

11:24

through I don't we

11:26

already had to eliminate Well, I figured I'm already on

11:28

the board Yeah Can I get on the board but

11:31

I remember when I put that on there and

11:33

I told you you could pick you want that one

11:35

or cowboy brew Well cowboy brew

11:37

is still in my drawer And it's

11:40

the only way to manage to put

11:42

you on the board So

11:44

I'm gonna have to find a spot

11:46

for you. We're right here We'll put

11:49

you right next dapper brew and cowboy

11:51

brew and you could be double eliminated

11:54

I I didn't want to do it, and I'm sorry to put

11:56

that boy. I know you don't love the picture. I I

11:59

didn't see that one guy What a Monday. What

12:01

a Monday we're gonna have. Do I have a

12:03

stock show? We're gonna have Red Bull and Stock

12:05

Show. Alright, moving on. My

12:07

home's favored to win his third MVP. His

12:09

performance in Path Super Bowl. Ring number one.

12:12

62% completion percentage. Two touchdowns. Two

12:14

INTs. Comeback victory over

12:16

Jimmy G. Appearance number two. Brady in

12:18

the box ran for his life. Then

12:21

last year three touchdowns, but under 200 yards,

12:24

won his second MVP. So

12:26

Nick, two wins, but still feels like there's

12:29

more there. You can really see

12:31

that having a full Mahomes experience. Are

12:34

you expecting a Mahomes masterpiece?

12:36

Yes. Underrated game of last year when

12:38

he won league MVP. Maybe his best game

12:40

of the year was against this San Francisco

12:42

defense. Which while it didn't have

12:45

Chase Young, who cares, it did have Hafongo who's

12:47

outstanding. And I understand they've changed out defensive linemen,

12:49

but it's still the main core of the defense.

12:51

And I would argue they had an even better,

12:53

and I like Wilkes, but an even better defensive

12:55

coordinator with D'Amico. And all Mahomes did was the

12:57

Chiefs scored 44. He threw for 420 yards. He

12:59

had a 130 rating. And

13:04

as you alluded to, we can show

13:06

you Mahomes post-season career ranks. And

13:09

he is of course first

13:11

in everything. But there

13:13

is one thing missing. So if

13:15

you show him his touchdown interception

13:18

ratio and passer rating by round,

13:20

what sticks out is the Super

13:22

Bowls are not like the others.

13:25

Now, he was named the most

13:27

valuable player of two of them,

13:29

but the numbers aren't quite there.

13:32

And in a game where

13:34

he can stand alone and

13:36

third all-time post-season victories, just

13:38

one win, if we can

13:40

show that, behind Joe Montana

13:43

for his career if he

13:45

wins this weekend, there

13:47

is an element of Mahomes painting

13:49

his masterpiece within the year he

13:51

was most doubted, with the worst

13:54

weapons, with the most adversity, having

13:57

his first ever great start to finish

13:59

Super Bowl. And we are

14:01

in Friday before the Super Bowl brew and

14:03

we have not mentioned this stat once which

14:06

is where is this game in a dome?

14:09

So Patrick Mahomes as

14:11

it turns out has never lost an adult

14:15

330 yards averages a

14:19

13 to 1 touchdown interception ratio

14:21

if the conditions are perfect So

14:23

is he so for all of

14:25

those reasons and because of what's

14:27

at stake Locking in the

14:29

dynasty the first back-to-back in 20 years

14:31

having it simply be him and Brady

14:34

for the rest of time I think

14:36

Mahomes is gonna play the best game

14:38

He has played all year and

14:40

the best Super Bowl he's ever played Yeah,

14:42

cuz he's had few masterpieces if any this

14:45

year now you could say some of these

14:47

playoff games He was great, but you know

14:49

he didn't throw for his typical numbers and

14:51

stuff like that Obviously, I'm saying

14:53

no because if he has a masterpiece you're in

14:55

trouble. I'm gonna be wrong. I think

14:58

that Nick Bosa He

15:01

needs a big game and I think you'll have

15:03

one He's gonna be going against your wine Taylor

15:05

and I think he's gonna be able to what

15:07

he's only got They only got two sit well

15:09

Hopefully he'll be called for those holes if he

15:11

does it and then I think

15:13

hard grave to divine hard grave I

15:16

don't know if to uni is playing we

15:18

don't know we not right So I thought

15:21

the backup had a little bit of trouble

15:23

against Against Baltimore or

15:25

some run plays where he didn't

15:27

clear out and so I think

15:29

hard-grown grave could have a big game Against

15:31

the backup center. They got a backup. Yeah,

15:33

they got it. Yeah my back They got

15:35

to get pressure on the go on the

15:37

on the homes and no I don't

15:39

I don't think he's gonna have a huge game like

15:42

you saw he has yet to have He's

15:44

been great in Super Bowls as far

15:46

as winning MVPs and comebacks But

15:49

he hasn't had a typical monster. Yeah. Yes

15:51

in the Super Bowl All right, check in

15:53

on Brock who led the league in passer

15:55

rating, of course, and it's had a few

15:57

comebacks of late I know you think that was

15:59

a bad I actually thought that was actually pretty

16:01

good. What? That they've

16:04

been trailing so much in the playoffs. Okay. I thought that was

16:06

a good one. Yeah, I think it's bad. I think it's bad.

16:08

He's the most of them. I thought about the most of them.

16:10

Yeah, a little bit of momentum. So can I ask you a

16:12

real quick question on that? If they had led every minute of

16:14

every game, you think that would be bad. No, but I think

16:16

you would say that he hadn't faced adversity. Alright. Okay. Alright.

16:20

Here's the best games against... Oh

16:22

no, sorry. Here's Brock first. Take a listen. That's

16:25

the nature of it. You're in the NFL.

16:28

Everybody's gonna be watching you. You're in a spotlight.

16:31

People are gonna, you know, obviously want to see

16:33

you success, have success. And some people are gonna

16:35

want to see your downfall. I guess it's the

16:37

nature of it. And so honestly,

16:40

it makes it entertaining. It makes it sort

16:42

of fun. Do I get wrapped up in

16:44

it? No, but obviously, you know, you hear

16:46

things every so often. And

16:49

I think at the end of the day, after all is

16:51

said and done, it'll be some sort of

16:53

fun for everybody to look back at. Okay. So

16:55

here are the best games against the

16:57

Chiefs defense. And I don't know

17:00

if you're calling any of these necessarily an

17:02

A, maybe some solid B plus is there.

17:04

It's golf, cousins. What could

17:06

have been, huh? And Jordan Love.

17:09

Everybody else. Re-game. Under 200 yards. 16

17:13

touchdowns. 15 turnovers with the passer

17:15

rating around 78. And

17:17

shout out Kurt Cousins who tore his Achilles, stayed quiet about it, and

17:20

then danced on stage yesterday at the S-piece, which was pretty...

17:23

Maybe the most impressive thing I've seen from an Achilles

17:25

patient. And his was a lot later. This

17:27

is pretty good. Go ahead. Sorry.

17:30

Uh, Brew. You had a hole in

17:32

one though? Mm. Uh, Brew, are

17:34

you expecting an A game out of Brock?

17:38

They need an A game out of Brock. Yes. I

17:40

think so. I'm not saying... This is the least base.

17:43

The base on that. No, I'm not saying

17:45

an A plus game. A plus. Oh,

17:47

no, I should. Brew has fired

17:49

remorse. No, no, no, no, no.

17:52

I just told you how he handles the

17:54

blitz. I told you how he handles the

17:57

blitz. I told you how

17:59

to handle, man. Cover. Oh my gosh. All

18:01

right, and also Spaggs gives

18:04

quarterback spits with his

18:06

disguises. Yeah. Purdie

18:08

is one of the quickest for everyone of his strengths. Quick

18:11

processor. All right, so I think he will

18:13

be able to recognize when they disguise and

18:16

then switch out of it after the snout,

18:18

he will recognize that and go to the

18:20

right man. So I'm expecting a clean

18:23

game, maybe one turnover at the

18:25

max and clean game otherwise. And

18:29

maybe not 300 yards, but multiple touchdowns.

18:31

Did you say one turnover but a

18:33

clean game? No, I said besides that.

18:36

Besides maybe one turnover. I know one turnover

18:38

is not clean. You say like a B

18:40

game. Maybe one. That's like a

18:42

B game. You touch out the turnover. If

18:45

he wins and isn't horrible, they can't win

18:47

without him being horrible, but if he wins

18:49

and plays fairly well. A B game, he

18:51

gets in it. No, I'm saying he's

18:54

going to get in playing A game. Okay. So

18:56

then. Sometimes, he says

18:58

things and I say, man, you went

19:01

first and you say exactly what I

19:03

was going to say. This

19:05

is one of those times where it's not exactly

19:07

that, but it might as well have been because

19:09

my first thing I had jotted down was, well,

19:11

is he going to be graded on a real

19:14

scale or some weird Brock Purdy curve?

19:16

And it sounds like what Brew was

19:18

saying is if he wins and doesn't

19:20

have a total disaster, he gets in

19:22

A. Which is not how we've done grades

19:25

on this show. Right.

19:28

I understand, but that's not what we're asking here. So

19:30

here's the thing. It's a zero percent chance he has

19:32

an A game. It's not zero percent in the Niners

19:34

win, but the Niners, coaches,

19:36

fans, players, media,

19:39

everyone knows that if they are

19:41

going to win, it's going to be because of this guy

19:43

on the board and not this

19:45

guy. It is going to be because Christian

19:48

McCappery has a monster game. So here's the

19:50

deal. We have not seen Brock Purdy

19:52

against this Chief Stevens, except for very

19:55

limited last year. And

19:57

when they were blowing out the Niners and he came in through a

19:59

pick, but it didn't was one of some of his first action.

20:02

But we, so the Chiefs finished number two in yards,

20:04

number two in points. Number

20:06

one in yards was Cleveland to Kansas

20:08

City. Number one in points

20:11

was Baltimore to Kansas City. How did

20:13

Brock Purdy look against Cleveland

20:15

and Baltimore? Now, let me show

20:17

it to you. Now I understand, against Cleveland there was a

20:19

light mist. So, and you don't have to deal with that.

20:22

It was a thunderstorm. Okay, well, against Baltimore, it

20:24

was perfect conditions and he threw four in our

20:26

steps. And that was a game that

20:29

even, I think after the game was like,

20:31

okay, fine. He's not the league MVP. And

20:33

since then he's yet to play

20:36

a great game start to finish. Not

20:38

a single one. The next game was fine. And

20:41

then in the playoffs he has been

20:43

bad and then good, bad and then

20:45

good. And so no, against this,

20:48

what is, people think Monday

20:50

is going to be a

20:53

coronation, if you believe the Chiefs are gonna win, a

20:55

coronation in my homes and sure maybe. But you know

20:57

the other thing that's gonna happen Monday, and this is

20:59

one of those things, Wilds, when you're gonna have to

21:01

remind me, Nick, the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. You're

21:03

not supposed to be angry. You know what's gonna be

21:05

on a lot of television, Monday morning and afternoon? Wow,

21:09

that Chiefs defense, who

21:12

knew? When the answer was anyone

21:14

paying attention. And so this

21:16

Chiefs defense was Steve Spagnolo, who by Wild's

21:18

count is about to join Chuck Knoll, four

21:20

times Super Bowl champion, because the coordinating rings

21:22

count the same as they had coaching rings.

21:24

So a Hall of Famer is

21:27

gonna put Purdy in the blender for three and a

21:29

half hours on Sunday. I'm just gonna

21:31

be humble and wait. It's a great

21:33

show. If

21:35

we knew this, we would have done it on Monday and

21:38

had a lot more content. You thought I was gonna get

21:40

this. Yeah,

21:42

you bought it. But we're dragging it out.

22:51

now for a Kansas City

22:53

segment where we run through several

22:55

concerns for the defending Super

22:57

Bowl champions. My pitch for

23:00

this was Kansas City problem with you.

23:04

Didn't hit. Like barbecue? You

23:06

have a problem. I

23:09

was outvoted. So we went with

23:11

Chiefs concern. First up, Christian McCaffrey.

23:14

One offensive player of the year and

23:17

hasn't slowed down in the playoffs. Averaging around

23:19

125 full yards, give or

23:21

take. Two touchdowns per game. Nick will

23:23

start with you. Is CMC a chief

23:25

concern? No, he's actually the only concern.

23:27

That's correct. He's not

23:30

a chief concern. He is

23:32

the chief concern. The only

23:34

concern. Chief concern would imply that you

23:36

have a long list and he's cheap.

23:38

He is the only. Listen,

23:40

their path is, as I

23:42

mentioned earlier, Terrell Davis in

23:45

the 97 Super Bowl. A hundred

23:47

and fifty-some yards, 30 carries, three

23:49

touchdowns. The Chiefs

23:51

have, listen, unlike, don't lean on lead up to

23:53

Chiefs bills where it's like, well, let's spend half

23:55

the time talking about a couple defensive players that

23:57

are missing. Believe it or not, the Chiefs are

23:59

missing. two starting defensive linemen hasn't been mentioned

24:01

because it's football and social field deal with

24:04

it but with Charles Amenohou out on the

24:06

right defensive end spot and then also Derek

24:08

Noddy their nose tackle out. My

24:11

fear Greg for this game would

24:14

be Christian McCaffrey behind Trent

24:16

Williams again and again and

24:18

again so yes

24:20

he is to me the biggest

24:22

concern. Yeah he's achieved this. When

24:24

you look at what this offense

24:26

is based upon it's based upon

24:29

establishing the run and then getting the

24:31

ball out of Brock Cardie's hands quickly. When

24:33

you listen to why he struggled in early

24:36

playoff games against the Green Bay Packers he

24:38

was pressing he was a little nervous. Well

24:40

to eliminate those nerves or to

24:42

lessen those nerves early in the game

24:44

you gotta believe he's gonna be a

24:46

large part of what they do as

24:49

far as getting the ball out of

24:51

Brock Cardie's hands he ends obviously

24:53

the other cast of guys. Absolutely

24:56

there's no doubt I don't see

24:58

30 carries I mean they don't

25:00

really do that but yeah he'll but if

25:02

he's running well that'll open up other things.

25:05

He has 30 the Niners will win. Well

25:07

yeah no true I mean I see if

25:10

he's 20 low 20s but then obviously

25:12

they're getting the ball to him you know

25:14

passing to him as well but he need he

25:16

they need him to have a huge game no

25:18

doubt so yeah big concern. Next up and

25:20

they've gotten better of late but

25:23

Kansas City did lead the league and drops this season

25:25

in fact it was the worst rate in

25:27

three years. It takes me three years to

25:29

go that one there. Well out of the

25:31

last three years the Chiefs would still lead

25:33

the league and drop. I propose.

25:36

Are drops a

25:39

chief concern especially if my guy Kaderis Tony gets

25:41

them run. No we fixed

25:43

it. Mahomes is throwing

25:46

un-dropable balls. Un-dropable?

25:48

So Tony. So how about

25:50

this he's targeted Kelsey these

25:52

playoffs 27 times. Kelsey

25:54

had three drops in the Miami game and

25:57

so 26 of the 27 times

25:59

he's targeted. Kelsooth had been right on

26:01

target, one overthrow in the end zone.

26:03

The last two rounds, how

26:06

has Mahomes done targeting his top two guys? Well he's

26:08

thrown them 30 balls, how many have they caught? Oh

26:10

wait 28! Pretty good.

26:12

So those guys are going to get

26:14

the vast majority of targets and then

26:16

while you showed an MBS highlight that

26:18

was from so long ago, might as

26:20

well have been in standard definition, just

26:23

a couple weeks ago MBS had to

26:25

catch up the postseason to seal the

26:27

Ravens game. So no, that's old news.

26:30

Okay. So no, they're not a... Yeah I'm

26:32

with you on this. No. Really?

26:34

No, it's not. Sorry. You

26:37

can go back to the Buffalo Bills game when

26:39

MBS was in the slot and he had the

26:41

inside fade and everybody was like, oh my goodness,

26:43

they're going to MBS. Well yes, this is what

26:45

Patrick Mahomes was trying to tell us all season

26:47

long. I'm going to continue to go to these

26:49

guys and they're going to come through. They have

26:51

delivered in the postseason so no, it is not

26:54

a chief concern. It is absolutely a chief concern.

26:56

When Giannis Antetokounmpo hit with 17

26:59

of 19 free throws in the

27:01

NBA Finals game, were free throws

27:03

no longer a concern ahead? No,

27:05

MBS dropped long. I

27:08

mean that just threw his career. Now

27:10

he still made some great plays too

27:12

but he dropped passes. McColl makes mistakes.

27:14

Yeah, it's a concern. That is correct.

27:18

I'm with you. Wow, this is starting to

27:21

come my way. I'm with the chief but

27:23

you're just spitting back at me. The guy

27:25

that you guys are worried about, they're not

27:27

going to get targets guys. They don't get

27:29

the targets. It's going to be the whole

27:31

grade, Justin Watson, a couple MBS beatballs and

27:33

25 targets to Kelsey Rice and Pacheco. Tell

27:36

me right now. I know but if I was the 49ers. You

27:39

would bribe them to put Tony on the field? What

27:41

are you going to do? If

27:43

Kelsey is unguardable, Rice is not unguardable.

27:47

Next up, San Francisco's potent

27:49

weapons. Fiddle and

27:51

Debo. Including the

27:53

playoffs, these guys have very similar

27:55

statistics. 100 targets even. Look

27:57

at Brock Furdie. Just

28:00

like you'd spray as they will. Yeah, it's like, you

28:02

know, candy if you have a lot of kids. It's

28:04

like everyone gets the same amount. Switch

28:07

up more of a cheese, you know,

28:09

sir. More. Kittle or Deebo?

28:11

Deebo and questioner. Listen, I think they're gonna

28:13

have Sneed, Shadow I. Oof, and take him

28:15

out of the game. George Kittle, for as

28:17

great as he is, he's

28:19

40 yards per game in his

28:21

postseason career. He has as many career

28:23

playoff touchdowns as Travis Kelce had two

28:26

weeks ago against Buffalo. So it is,

28:28

Deebo is the, to

28:30

me, the X factor of this game. He's almost

28:32

too good of a player to call him the

28:34

X factor. But yes, I think Deebo, Deebo's a

28:36

legitimate concern because whenever he gets the ball in

28:39

his hands, it feels like he's going to break

28:41

the first tackle and then you gotta get him

28:43

down the second one. So for me, it's far

28:45

and away Deebo. Yeah, I'm with you again, Deebo

28:47

Samuel. And when you look at Christian McCaffrey, basically

28:49

what you're doing is looking at Deebo Samuel

28:52

because they're interchangeable at times. And you talk

28:54

about who's gonna cover him.

28:56

That would be Trent McDuckie. If he, because

28:58

he primarily plays in the slot. But when

29:00

you decide to move a guy like that

29:02

and you have the capability to move him

29:04

in the backfield, who's, what are you doing?

29:06

Kitten Nick Bolton on the right side. You

29:08

don't, it's a mismatch automatically. And again, you're

29:10

gonna want to get the ball out of

29:12

Brock Cardi's hands and allow these guys opportunities

29:14

to make plays with the ball in their

29:17

hand and sooner rather than later, he's a

29:19

cheap concern. I think you guys

29:21

are underestimating Kittle a little bit.

29:23

Most of those playoff games is

29:25

quarterback and Jimmy G who as good

29:27

as he was, he wasn't Brock Cardi. If I were to trade

29:29

him to. Just for the record,

29:32

half of his playoff games have been with Brock Cardi.

29:35

Five, that's four really. I mean,

29:38

the ones got hurt. But

29:41

Deebo, I'm with you on Deebo because he can line

29:43

up anywhere. They might hand the ball off to him.

29:45

So, and of course how dangerous he

29:47

is after the catch. Deebo. So,

29:50

like, you're underestimating Kittle. No, I'm just

29:52

saying y'all, Nick wrote Kittle on like

29:55

40 yards. What is

29:57

career? I don't know what, I don't know. And crew would

29:59

say. I'm worried about the stuff. Isn't

30:01

he doing other stuff on the field? Yeah, listen, nobody

30:03

opens up a four yard run like George Kittle. Give

30:05

me a break. It is a

30:07

fast job! It is a far me

30:09

job! He's a very

30:11

good player and I like him. But this

30:13

idea that he had so much in the

30:16

blocking game that there's a real argument about

30:18

Kittle versus Kelsey is nonsense. He would have

30:20

to be Trent Williams in the blocking game

30:22

to make up the gap in the receiving

30:25

game. Give me a break. Finally,

30:29

ring the alarm. This story seems

30:31

like it pops up every year, but this time, seemingly

30:34

with a little more complaining. Yeah, like the fields.

30:36

A fire alarm went off at the 49ers team

30:38

hotel at 6am. That

30:42

can't be right, Wilds. 6am. They would have already been

30:44

up by then. Which in Vegas called a late night.

30:48

Our Vegas distractions, and I'd consider a fire

30:50

alarm the most tame, a

30:52

chief concern. He's whining baby.

30:56

I was from the ESPN article. They said it

30:58

went off at 6.03am. Christian

31:01

McCappery says conspiracy was on purpose.

31:04

Bosa immediately lit up the D-Lionman

31:06

group chat. And

31:08

they also, by the way, talked about how

31:11

they remain unhappy about the field conditions.

31:13

And now this has only compounded it. Then

31:15

in the athletic story, we get this Jim.

31:17

I have to read it to you.

31:19

Safety to Sean Gibson, who said he's never

31:22

seen so many sleepy faces in the

31:24

morning as he gets Thursday. When his father's

31:26

saying the disruption made practice later that day

31:28

a little more difficult. Next, practice seemed

31:30

a little harder. Our bodies were a little

31:33

tired. But I think we'll get caught up

31:35

on our sleep today. Wait till we

31:37

hear the post-game quotes about, we couldn't even

31:39

listen to Kyle at a half-time locker

31:41

room. Our crew was so damn well. This

31:43

whole thing's been ridiculous. These whiny, whiny babies.

31:46

6.03am. Be

31:48

off. Group all week. Get to work. Wilds

31:50

gets up at 6am to go to the

31:52

no excuses power plant. I don't know, but

31:54

just for the record, Greg, they're

31:56

not working nine to five jobs. They have to

31:59

be at peak performance. that six times. The

32:01

artist who said kiddo's alarm was for

32:03

six times and this went off at

32:05

6.03 and we're like oh my god

32:08

it's heading to messy. It's

32:11

not a chief concern but

32:13

it is unsettling because it's something like

32:16

for this week being

32:18

that it is super cold, being that

32:20

you are going to be in a

32:22

hotel not your normal environment for the

32:25

week. You try to keep things as

32:27

consistent as possible so anything that disrupts

32:29

that it matters and

32:32

although as you point out like

32:34

all the they're crying about it

32:36

if this were the chiefs you

32:39

would be on the other side of them.

32:41

This happened in the Chiefs and the playoff

32:43

game before the Patriots eight years ago and

32:45

nobody remembers because who cares. This is I'm

32:47

with Greg Greg. It is

32:49

it is a concern simply because

32:51

it's something that's disrupting what normal

32:54

looks like however

32:56

in the morning however at the end of the

32:58

day these guys know they got to just go

33:00

out there and play the game. Wow. So and

33:03

it's a chief concern and I'm gonna give you

33:05

credit for this. I've learned the power of the

33:07

bulletin board from you this year and

33:09

they got more than bulletin board

33:12

perceived flight. Oh interesting. All right

33:14

they are practicing on the field

33:16

that's the softest pillow all

33:18

right they are they did have

33:20

this fire alarm go off and

33:22

all that. They they watch tv

33:24

and seeing everybody except brew pick

33:26

everybody. I don't know how because

33:29

I saw I didn't see one

33:31

pundit today pick the Niners except

33:33

me. All right they see that

33:35

they feel slighted bulletin board you

33:37

know what as low as anybody

33:40

it's a chief concern. Pretty good

33:42

though. Now you're back. No

33:44

a little bit of a little bit. Lamar

33:49

as expected takes home his second MVP

33:51

49 out of 50 votes

33:53

Greg. All right here's how the

33:55

voting went down Lamar number one

33:57

Dak with the silver Christian

33:59

McCattie. with the Browns and

34:01

Purdy, Josh Allen, who came in fifth but he

34:03

did get one first place

34:06

vote, then Tyree and then Mahone. So

34:08

do you have an issue, Greg, with Lamar

34:11

not being unanimous or Allen getting one

34:13

first place vote? No, I don't have

34:16

an issue at all and neither does

34:18

Lamar. Like he won

34:20

the MVP. Like at the end

34:22

of the day when you win an award

34:25

as procedures as most valuable player of the

34:27

National Football League, I don't care if you're

34:29

just wanted by the strand

34:31

of hair. Like the fact that you are

34:33

able to be announced as the most valuable

34:35

player, that says it all right there. So

34:38

for me, these guys played great games this

34:40

year. Josh Allen, we know the numbers that

34:42

he put up, the hole that he's had

34:44

to dig his team out of and they

34:46

did something, they did at

34:48

least enough. They

34:51

got to their Super Bowl. They got to

34:53

their Super Bowl. But I don't think it's

34:55

not something

34:58

that I think Lamar is gonna look at and be

35:00

like, man, I should have been unanimous. No,

35:02

but he would have become the first

35:05

player ever to win two unanimous Super Bowl

35:07

or MVPs. Brady's the other, so it's only

35:09

two of them that have. It would have

35:11

been nice but I agree with what you

35:13

said. I think he definitely

35:15

should have won it but I don't think

35:17

it should have been unanimous. You could have

35:20

justified giving Dak some votes or one or

35:22

two of the 49ers. I don't

35:24

think Josh should have been the only other

35:26

guy to get a vote. I will say

35:28

that he finished fifth. You would

35:30

think that means he finished second if he got

35:32

one vote. But no,

35:34

I think because of the numbers, you

35:37

know, they unanimous. It

35:39

shouldn't have been unanimous. He definitely should have won.

35:41

So my takeaway was from a different part of

35:43

the evening and by that I mean the entire

35:45

part of the evening because then this morning after

35:47

all the awards were announced, we got all the

35:49

votes. And can we show the teams that had

35:51

players or coaches get a first or second place

35:54

vote? What you're gonna see is all the great

35:56

teams in the league. Niners, Rams,

35:59

Lions, Ravens. Cowboys, all of us, those

36:01

all have multiple, all you go up and down.

36:03

How many teams are there? Eight teams, playoff

36:06

teams, who nobody involved

36:08

in the team. Coach,

36:10

rookie, defense, offense got

36:12

a first, second place vote. The

36:14

Chiefs and the Packers, who

36:16

were nine and eight and kind of surprising people.

36:18

So, Dusty, if you will, the board just quickly.

36:21

Listen, you guys, you guys,

36:23

you guys question why I

36:25

put this on there. I

36:28

take these awards very seriously. We're

36:32

about to have someone on the show who I

36:34

thought was gonna win offensive player of the year,

36:37

Bijon Robinson. The FAFSA, the Chiefs are playing in

36:39

the Super Bowl and 12 coaches got

36:41

coach of the year, first, second, third, and Andy

36:43

Reid didn't get a single one, hadn't won it

36:45

in 22 years. Josh Allen

36:47

gets first place MVP vote, can't even throw

36:50

her. She writes a second place rookie of

36:52

the year vote. Okay. All right. It was

36:54

noted. Mahomes got two third place votes, two

36:56

fourths and two fifths. Zero first,

36:58

two second place votes is what that graphic said, sir. Bijon,

37:01

next. Bijon agrees with me. Welcome

37:06

back to an electric show. Joining us

37:08

now on behalf of a partnership with

37:10

C4 Energy is one of the

37:13

most electric players in the entire league. It's

37:15

Bijon Robinson, Bijon. Thanks for joining us. I'm

37:17

gonna start off with a double question. First

37:19

part, tell us about your partnership with C4.

37:22

Second part, give us your bold Super

37:24

Bowl prediction. Yes,

37:27

sir. So, my partnership with C4, you know,

37:29

we've been a great partner for a long

37:31

time. And as you can see here, we've

37:34

got the, in my opinion, the best drink. And

37:38

it's the most flavorful drink, but, you

37:40

know, it's a very good partnership, you

37:42

know, just the performance energy for all

37:44

the athletes, you know, that love to

37:46

use it. And not just for athletes,

37:48

but for people that, you know, are

37:50

in working life and that just are in a

37:53

day to day life. You know, this is a

37:55

great pick me up to have. So, you know,

37:57

I love being here with C4 and I love

37:59

just. just partnering with them for not just

38:01

me but for everybody. And then for

38:03

my Super Bowl pick, I'm

38:06

gonna have to go with the Chiefs. Oh,

38:08

there we go. 27 to 20. I'm

38:11

gonna say 27 to 20. Smart man.

38:13

I hate the... That's my pick. You're giving

38:15

the Niners maybe a little more credit than

38:17

I would, but that's a good pick. So

38:20

I got, whenever we have

38:22

the opportunity to talk to someone

38:25

who was a high school record

38:27

breaker, or somebody who was a

38:29

standout athlete from a very young age,

38:31

I'm always curious, what was

38:33

the first time? How old were you and

38:36

do you remember the moment? The first time

38:38

someone, an adult said to you, I

38:41

think you can be a professional athlete. I think this

38:43

can be what you do for a living. Yeah,

38:47

so my sophomore year

38:49

of high school, it was like

38:51

kind of towards the end of the season, when playouts were about

38:53

to start. And one of

38:55

the scouts, a

39:00

college scout was telling me, he was saying like, hey

39:03

man, I don't know if you wanna do this for

39:05

a long time, but he was saying

39:07

like, this could be something that you can dominate for

39:10

such a very long time, just off of your

39:12

playing style, like off of how you

39:14

run the ball, how you catch the ball, how you do

39:16

a lot of different things. And

39:19

he was saying, I'm a physical

39:21

runner, but how I run the ball, I can be

39:23

in the NFL for a long time. So

39:26

it was definitely a cool moment hearing that. And

39:29

just as a sophomore in high school, that

39:31

always makes you happy, but you really

39:33

don't know what God really has for you

39:36

until it happens. So now

39:38

that I'm here, I'm like, man, I mean,

39:40

he was kind of right from

39:44

the beginning. So it was pretty cool. Vijon,

39:46

you had nearly 1500 yards,

39:48

you had eight touchdowns. And yet

39:50

I think a lot of people thought,

39:53

hey, maybe could have even done more.

39:55

How did your rookie year stack up

39:57

to your own expectations going into it?

40:01

Yeah, well, for me, you know, my expectations

40:03

are high. And

40:06

you know, when I look at

40:08

expectations, I always shoot for the

40:10

stars and, you know, try to

40:12

get those 2000 yards and, you know,

40:15

achieve accomplishments like that. But

40:17

I think for my rookie year, like, you know, I

40:20

had a fun year, man. I mean, it was definitely

40:22

a blessing, like, what God has done

40:24

for me in my first rookie year and just

40:26

for me to learn and to, you

40:28

know, go through ups, go through downs. You know, there was

40:31

some adversity that

40:33

I had to overcome throughout the season. And

40:35

you know, for me, just, you know, being a rookie in

40:38

this league and trying to find my feet and find my

40:40

way, like, it was something that I

40:42

really took pride in. But, you know,

40:44

I think everything happens for a reason. And

40:47

you know, obviously, you know, I would always want

40:49

to achieve more for my team than for my

40:51

teammate. But I knew for

40:53

what was to come my first year, you

40:55

know, I was pretty happy with it. Bijon, you

40:58

mentioned your ability to run and catch the

41:00

ball. When you watch the Super

41:02

Bowl, obviously Christian McCaffrey is great at doing both.

41:05

Is that somebody you could see yourself

41:07

being used like, you know, throughout your

41:09

career? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

41:12

And I love how they, you know,

41:15

put in a package and put in different packages

41:17

to get him in open space so he can,

41:20

you know, use his God-given talents as well. And

41:22

for me, like, I want to be in

41:25

that same category and that same talk. You know, I

41:27

really, I started talking to Christian there

41:30

in the middle of the season. And you know,

41:32

he just started giving me a lot of pointers on how to take care of

41:34

my body, how to do a lot of different things. And

41:37

you know, with him, you know, I'll look

41:39

up to that dude so much and he'll

41:41

check on me throughout the season to see if

41:43

everything's going good. But

41:46

yeah, that's kind of somebody who I want to,

41:48

you know, inspire my game after and,

41:50

you know, get onto the things that he's been

41:52

doing. Beginning of the year, there was a lot

41:54

of talk about undervaluing the

41:57

running backs and guys not being able to

41:59

get the contracts that they deserve.

42:02

This year, I mean, McCaffrey obviously

42:04

is a huge impact on the

42:06

Niners. Isaiah Pacheco, the Baltimore

42:08

Ravens run game, James Cook, like you,

42:10

I mean, the value of the running

42:12

back was clear throughout the whole season

42:15

and the playoffs. Do you think that

42:17

that could change some of the perception

42:19

or have you talked to other running

42:21

backs about this? Yeah,

42:24

man, I think, I think it'll really change, especially

42:27

this year, like, you know, it was

42:29

really good that Christian won offensive player of the year just

42:31

to show, you know, what the value of the running back

42:33

still holds. And, you know,

42:36

for me, I think, I mean, you have to have

42:38

a good running back, a great running back on your

42:40

team to want to be successful clearly.

42:43

And, you know, for me being one of those

42:45

guys on a

42:47

team that, you know, is aspiring to be at the

42:49

Super Bowl, to be at this point, you know, one

42:51

day, you know,

42:53

it's something that's really important for an offense

42:56

and really important for a team. So, yeah,

42:59

I think the position is starting

43:01

to, you know, find its value again.

43:04

And I mean, even if it's a slow process,

43:06

it's starting to find it. So I

43:08

really appreciate what all the guys did in the

43:11

off season, but, you know, it was good to see it

43:13

during the season too. All right, Bijan,

43:15

thank you for your time. Have a

43:17

great week. Have a great sophomore season.

43:20

And again, great pick, Chiefs 27-20. Sorry,

43:23

Bijan. Thank

43:25

you, Bijan. Yeah,

43:27

thank you, guys. We'll see you, guys. Yep. Live

43:31

from New York. This show is

43:33

good. That just learned that

43:35

Brew has picked the

43:37

San Francisco 49ers. Wow.

43:39

That's the winner of Super Bowl 50. That

43:42

was so good. I'm thinking about

43:44

changing my pick. I got nervous. I

43:46

got that much studied the second hour

43:48

first things first. Today, why the

43:51

49ers are still on upset alert. I'm

43:53

not moving, but it was a little

43:55

nerve-wracking seeing the video. Meanwhile, this is

43:57

Patrick Mahomes or Kyle Shanahan. Pumpkin alert.

44:00

have the most to lose but right now

44:03

she's still two and a half point underdogs

44:05

quick history lesson underdogs against the

44:07

Ravens and the Bills and they

44:09

won the ball Andy Reid says he's okay with it take

44:11

a listen I

44:13

understand why we're the underdog I get that

44:15

we had some ups and downs during

44:18

the season I never

44:21

feel like an underdog okay same with

44:23

my home so the 49ers officially on

44:25

upset alert Greg of course and your

44:27

pick we need bow yeah we need

44:30

your pay right now yeah I don't

44:32

get to wait till I four oh

44:34

yeah like but yeah the 49ers are

44:41

definitely on upset alert look what

44:43

the Kansas City Chiefs do

44:47

very very well and we all see it they

44:49

come out the gate and they're gonna get points

44:52

what the 49ers defense has not done

44:54

very well is stop team from coming

44:56

out the gate and getting points why

44:59

is that I don't know whilst I'm

45:01

getting they better they better

45:03

figure it out because if you

45:05

started if you start getting behind

45:07

with this quarterback and this team

45:10

it with the defense that they have

45:12

now it's just it's tough

45:14

splitting we saw that with Lamar Jackson in

45:17

the Baltimore Ravens it's just hard it's a

45:19

hard feat to ask a team in Brock

45:21

Purdy in this offense I don't care how

45:23

many weapons you have to allow Patrick Mahomes

45:26

to be out front with the lead and

45:28

then you try to play catch-up so for

45:30

me this is they are

45:32

definitely on upset alert will they get

45:34

upset that's a

45:36

different conversation oh well can we have

45:38

it who you got it's 403 no

45:40

obviously I've got the Niners 2824 so

45:49

it's your fourth straight week in the playoffs saying

45:51

they'll be no no upset this time I'll be

45:53

right but

45:56

look they can't come out like you said

45:58

I mean if the Chiefs mark right

46:00

down the field, let's say they get the ball

46:02

first, they march right down the field and score,

46:04

or they stop the Niners, then march right down

46:07

the field. Because if they get behind too much,

46:09

then you just become, you gotta throw the ball

46:11

all the time. You become one dimensional. So I

46:13

think the defense

46:16

Niners we know has been better. They

46:18

really haven't played great since Christmas

46:21

or mid December, whatever you want to say. But

46:23

it's there, the capability is

46:26

there. And they got to

46:28

have some pride after what happened

46:30

in these playoffs, particularly the last game against

46:32

Detroit. And so I'm expecting them to have

46:34

a bounce back defensive game. And

46:37

then I think offensive, that purdy is

46:39

very good against the blitz. The

46:42

Niners themselves are very good against man-to-man coverage,

46:44

which the Chiefs like to do. And obviously

46:46

they've got a great run game. And I

46:49

think that's the weakest part of the Chiefs

46:51

defense. So that's the formula to me for

46:53

winning. Of course, they're on upset alert. I

46:55

mean, the Chiefs, I think should be favored.

46:57

So they could lose, but I'm going with

47:00

the Niners. Go on. Well,

47:02

you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but I want to hear

47:04

that you've been studying the all 22. We

47:06

didn't do a whole sizzle real well, but

47:08

I know you've been do hogging the room.

47:10

Oh, I haven't watched a lot of it

47:12

on my phone. I've

47:15

been grinding. I didn't need

47:17

to grind because I picked the Chiefs in

47:19

September. When your kids were in

47:21

a swimming pool, I was picking the Chiefs.

47:24

Here's the problem. If I

47:26

was the 49ers because the answers the

47:28

spoiler the answer to both of these

47:31

questions going to be the Chiefs who's

47:33

Mike more likely to play the boring

47:35

game that gets the W the Chiefs

47:38

right Chiefs who's more

47:40

likely to play the super weird

47:42

game where running backs are catching

47:45

passes and there's throwing passes and

47:47

there's laterals and there's strange things

47:49

going on also the Chiefs.

47:52

So the fact that they can win boring

47:54

and exciting. I don't think Kyle Shanahan has

47:57

any plan for that because you have to

47:59

plan for the. spectrum of

48:01

boring to weird. And then

48:03

the other thing, I've said

48:05

this before, when the

48:07

49ers are up 10 points,

48:10

Kyle Shanahan is gonna get nervous.

48:13

He's been in two Super Bowls, he's been up

48:15

10 points twice. I'm sorry, Dust, it's the truth.

48:17

Trick or treat is pumpkin time. If

48:20

he's down a touchdown going

48:23

into the fourth quarter, Kyle Shanahan will be

48:25

nervous because he's won in 31 down a

48:28

touchdown heading into the fourth. So the fact

48:30

that the Chiefs can play any way from

48:32

boring to exciting and Kyle

48:34

Shanahan is gonna be nervous if he's winning

48:37

and nervous if he's losing is a recipe

48:39

for disaster in 2417 Kansas City. And

48:43

the Chiefs are better. Well that's true. So

48:46

and matchup wise, Lajerius needs

48:48

the best cover corner in football. He is

48:50

going to a race Brandon Ayuk. Brew,

48:52

what is your biggest concern about the

48:54

Niners offense? What has it been all

48:56

year? The right, particularly the right side

48:58

of their offensive line. Hello, Chris Jones,

49:00

maybe playing his last game as a

49:02

chief who has, I think, a lock

49:05

Hall of Fame spot if they win

49:07

this game. If you are the best

49:09

defensive player on a dynasty, the only

49:11

all-pro connective tissue of the dynasty, you're

49:13

in. The last time he had something

49:15

on the line was a million bucks

49:17

in a week 18 game against the

49:19

Chargers. He's at his career high for

49:21

pressures in that game even though no other

49:23

Chiefs were playing. You have the you have

49:25

the Steve Wilkes defense that wants to go

49:27

wide nine. Okay, Isaiah Pacheco will take advantage

49:29

of that and the Chiefs have shown they

49:31

will. You have a Niners

49:33

defensive ends that are susceptible to

49:35

what? Jet sweeps and screen games.

49:37

Who is the best in the

49:39

history of football at designing those?

49:42

Andy Reid. There's no time. No,

49:44

Nicole Hardin. Oh yeah,

49:46

by the way, you have perfect conditions which

49:49

while it's good for purdy because he melts

49:51

in the rain. My home has much

49:53

like LaVar Ball. Never lost except this one.

49:55

It's real in a dome. And then and

49:58

I did this for you, Greg. No,

50:00

I don't know who you're picking yet. Brock

50:02

Perdy this postseason. I

50:05

know he has had a couple nice moments,

50:07

but the overall production against bad defenses. Can

50:09

we show it, please? This is one of

50:11

my favorites. Sold it from Coward,

50:13

but he stole a lot from me this week, so I

50:16

don't care. Do we

50:18

agree those are basically identical numbers? We

50:20

do. Brock Perdy this postseason. As

50:22

I said, I did it for Greg. It's a

50:24

little Easter egg on who that is. Who is

50:26

that? Danny Dines

50:28

last postseason. He was rolling.

50:31

He was rolling. Was

50:33

he? Yeah. Did Danny have to give two

50:38

games each? More credit for the comebacks. That's

50:40

much fun. You've been waiting all year to

50:42

see him. Well, yeah. He showed some money.

50:44

That's fine. And I don't know. I don't

50:46

want to interrupt. You didn't. No, I'm done.

50:48

I think Shanahan gets more nervous if

50:50

they're up 10. Now,

50:53

not saying he's counting on a comeback, but

50:55

he's seen it the last two weeks. If

50:57

they're down seven going into the fourth, I

50:59

think now he actually believes we

51:01

can actually win this game now. If they're

51:03

up 10, that's when he's,

51:05

I'm not saying he's panicked, but that's when

51:08

he's melting down. And if he loses another

51:10

game up 10 in the fourth quarter, I

51:13

mean, that's great. Well, Mahomes has had a second half lead in 15

51:15

playoff games, and he's 14 and one of

51:17

them. So I would not assume that that's

51:20

going to, that would be a bad strategy

51:22

for Kyle. Who do you have? All right.

51:24

So I already gave my apology to Chief

51:26

Kingdom earlier this week, and I do owe

51:28

another apology to Brock Purdy, man, because Championship

51:30

Week, you came with it. All right. And

51:32

you showed me that you are a difference

51:34

maker at the quarterback position. With

51:37

that being said, I apologize to Chief

51:39

Kingdom for a reason. I'm not picking

51:41

against Patrick Mahomes. There we go, Craig.

51:43

I'm going with the chief. Well done. You

51:45

tricked me for a moment, but well done. Do you

51:48

have a score, Greg? Yes,

51:50

I do have a score. Wow.

51:53

Yes, Chiefs. 35-17. Wow.

51:57

You got a role. We won. I

52:00

had 31-13. No one thinks that

52:02

the Chiefs are gonna score a lot of points.

52:04

Yeah, this will be the week. God, what a

52:06

great story it would be. Oh boy. Time

52:09

to make some money. We didn't do this last week because it

52:11

wasn't games. But just so you know, I picked the Pro Bowl

52:13

right too. Should count on the record. That's two and O last

52:15

week. Too easy. Underdog wins. Lions

52:17

come from me even though they blew the game.

52:19

So going into the Super Bowl, we knew we

52:22

needed to get the Super Bowl right in order

52:24

to be above 500 in postseason. Before that, some

52:26

props for you. Four quick

52:29

props for Brock Verde to throw

52:31

at least one pick. You only have to lay

52:33

minus 140. There are

52:35

gonna be padded balls galore. Brock Verde barely

52:37

being able to steal the lives from him.

52:39

Chris Jones, Giants, what's this? He is. That's

52:42

why he is. Drew Brees is an install in the league. He's an

52:45

install in the league. He's an install in the league. What? Chiefs

52:47

don't really generate turnovers. Oh, but the Chiefs

52:50

leave the league in the game. They do battle out of balls.

52:52

They do, sir. They do leave the league. You know what? Kids

52:55

and open girls gotta have those. That's what we always

52:57

said in the defensive back meeting. This is true. The

53:00

next prop, Mahomes over 26 and

53:02

a half rushing yards. I like that. The only

53:05

way it doesn't come through is if like the

53:07

last time the Chiefs played the Niners in the

53:09

Super Bowl, he hit the over by 12 yards

53:11

and then took 14 yards of kneel downs because

53:13

they had to be funny kneel downs, wasting time

53:16

and it went under. He's gonna run all over

53:18

this Niners defense. All of a sudden you'd be

53:20

like, how can Fred Warner not catch him? Mahomes

53:22

is just a little faster than whoever's chasing him.

53:25

Next, Brandon Ayu. A right

53:27

by Legerious Snead. Under

53:29

62 and a half receiving yards. And in

53:31

the one fun long shot

53:34

at 9 and a half to 1, Titan 2. Noah

53:39

Gray to score a touchdown. I like that

53:41

too. The Chiefs love that 13 personnel. Three

53:43

Titans set. Noah Gray

53:45

will leave this game with half as

53:47

many career postseason touchdowns as George Getaway

53:49

has. There's Ann. Then

53:52

of course, the pick for the game. For

53:54

the third straight week, you are giving me the

53:57

best quarterback you ever lived

53:59

and points the Chiefs getting points two and

54:01

a half point under rogs they've been under rogs

54:04

for the last five playoff games and they have

54:06

let me check what all of them there's

54:08

Nick's picks for the week so sounding

54:10

success I like to know what great pick a

54:12

lot yeah not you say by the way America

54:15

he's 47 to one to score

54:17

the first touchdown but that would be a little greeny nine

54:19

and a half to one to score eight touch little 47

54:22

one first touchdown no

54:24

great all right coming up

54:26

most again most to lose

54:29

just more clues we're going negative alone dark playing

54:31

the reed welcome

54:36

back to the show earlier this week we

54:38

went through Super Bowl most to gain less

54:40

which was headlined by Patrick Moans Kyle

54:43

Shanahan and coming

54:45

in the number two spot you put yourself

54:47

on the list America today

54:51

we're going to dig a little deeper

54:53

on the flip side of the list

54:55

who has the most to lose who

54:59

do you want to go even though it's next

55:01

list it's not my list I don't have a

55:03

list we're all you're not going to lift up

55:06

no no I'm thoroughly continue no sorry who has

55:08

the most to lose on oh yeah sorry about

55:10

that I think Kyle Shanahan

55:13

yeah for reasons you've pointed out

55:15

wise I mean we

55:17

refer to him as a genius and he

55:19

is great offensively but you can be great

55:21

and a great offensive mind and being OC

55:24

you know when you're a head coach we

55:26

measure you by winning the biggest games or

55:28

at least if you never get to the

55:31

big game okay but he's getting there or

55:33

getting close and falling apart in

55:35

those games and as you said like

55:37

if they're up 10 and

55:39

he shows visible panic whether it's in

55:41

the play calling or whatever that's

55:44

not a good sign at all and that'll

55:46

be like we got to do something but

55:48

you think that's what happened in their first

55:51

Super Bowl no Shanahan well next I know

55:53

I did think though They

55:55

were running the ball dad obviously run the ball

55:57

the whole playoffs and done great up and they

55:59

were. In the ball well against the cheese.

56:01

Now that sees a rally and so I

56:04

guess they had to throw some but I

56:06

still with a lighter seen them sticking it

56:08

out of the perfect place here and it

56:10

grub Hello miss that Nebraska the are if

56:12

you got a better quarterback have found the

56:15

perfect play but that the so thought but

56:17

I do think if he loses nick I

56:19

think a lot of people are gonna look

56:21

there's obviously no same and losers sees but

56:23

people don't look at him because they are

56:25

technically to fight roots and five years from

56:28

now Noble Gabi Zion. For. Letting us

56:30

which is better to I assumed I was

56:32

in which is as have zeroed in on

56:34

Thousand and let's say they lose and Jed

56:37

York because he can't blame the refs this

56:39

time says you know what need a fall

56:41

guy I'm firing him out not know of

56:43

course you wouldn't but the this is my

56:45

point so would don't you think. You

56:48

would have. A. Dozen.

56:51

Teams in the league of who are lining up

56:53

to wire have course in high end. A Do

56:55

you Think Win or Lose is one of the

56:58

five best coaches in the Nfl. This

57:00

problem. Okay, so then I don't understand.

57:02

I guess I don't understand your horse

57:04

cornices. I'm not a big fan of

57:06

silver medals. I'm not a big

57:08

fan of having ten point lead in the

57:10

fourth quarter and not being and will hold

57:13

on to them and not big fan of

57:15

been one for thirty one or down a

57:17

touchdown into the fourth. Corn Tilbrook pretty showed

57:19

up among big fan of Everybody Blame and

57:21

somebody who stand on the sideline commonplace for

57:23

we Blame and the littler well a lot

57:25

of yours is would suit will I hear

57:27

you. But. A lot of his

57:29

office is all based on the play

57:31

action and that's what happens. Like you know

57:34

you get in those moments and you can't

57:36

just run the play axes so that

57:38

that's where why he struggles. It's as if

57:40

they get down on naughty words. I'm

57:42

of them be enough but if they get

57:44

down to play axes not as effective On

57:47

center for me is is Bradford's. Is.

57:49

Rochefort, even in. Largely

57:52

because going up going into this

57:55

game. If there's one player that

57:57

you feel like you're picking them.

58:00

That has to play great for this

58:02

team to win. Or. And just

58:04

can't be the reason why I dare behold

58:06

this team lose because he plays poorly. What

58:08

the lose a player. Property.

58:11

Recipe has the most fresher because

58:13

there is adult as great as

58:15

he's been over the course of

58:17

the season. And for the dry

58:19

run and against Green Bay in

58:22

the Come Back against the Lions.

58:24

If. He doesn't deliver. All. Is

58:26

that it? All that does is as erase

58:29

all the what he does this like absolutely

58:31

zoc. Everybody's been some pounds Joe Montana and

58:33

I'm like what he's done. Like I said,

58:35

he won me over. However, Joe

58:37

Montana became So Montana and the

58:40

cats became the kids. Because

58:42

they actually. Put. The cherry

58:45

on top in one Super Bowl. So now

58:47

you look back to that point and say

58:49

it was in that moment. Where.

58:51

Is that doesn't have that plays other happen

58:53

he was so great and such a great

58:55

throw in all the things we could say

58:57

that if they are to win will look

59:00

at that drive against Green Bay and be

59:02

similar will look at the comeback against a

59:04

miser have similar have a talks about that

59:06

and the if I before I give my

59:08

answer of i may defend Silver Moses for

59:10

a moment. Read Mcveigh Tom

59:12

One Hardball, Mccarthy Peterson I think are

59:14

the only active coaches with any gold

59:16

medals. And so I just thought. And

59:19

by the way, my in Mccarthy's Harbaugh

59:21

and Tomlin, it was all more than

59:23

a decade ago. And so there is

59:25

a level of like I it it's

59:27

hard to win Superbowl and it's really

59:29

hard to. You're going up against the

59:32

modern day Dynasty and I say one

59:34

word. Yeah, I think it's the ghost

59:36

of Twenty to Three. It. Yes

59:38

of rational I am when more think

59:40

I'll sit there and were some of

59:42

the and that was more in my

59:45

have them in the Atlanta deepens for

59:47

that game them the Atlanta often stayed

59:49

as you enter twenty eight to three

59:51

lead but is a my answer by

59:53

the way is every active quarterback if

59:55

the Chiefs when so in in the

59:57

decade before Brady kind of to go.

1:00:00

The league guys who the majority

1:00:02

of their career were in that

1:00:04

decade. Became. Hall of Famers

1:00:06

Eight min Elway Farm Kelly Marino, Moon

1:00:08

Young, Kurt Warner Like that the majority

1:00:10

their accomplishments. Warner kind of straddles it

1:00:13

once Brady took over in the twenty

1:00:15

years since then, The. Only Hall

1:00:17

of famers we've had or Brady Manning

1:00:19

fair and breeze been with maybe for

1:00:22

he was the guys like Philip Rivers,

1:00:24

Matt Stafford a mess Brian those guys

1:00:26

are problem in the outside looking in

1:00:28

because so much of quarterback whole thing's

1:00:31

of the zoo's you make Simple to

1:00:33

join us who bought it more holes

1:00:35

is just gonna gobble them all up

1:00:37

that there's gonna be all these great

1:00:40

players. This era is gonna be so

1:00:42

many fewer Hall of Fame spots and

1:00:44

in November so if he wins this

1:00:46

one excesses. Hannibal warning shot for all

1:00:48

this other birds. And

1:00:52

Monday the first things first us

1:00:54

extra virgin where's while and in

1:00:57

other I am someone I know

1:00:59

it was. Use my life out

1:01:01

here be smaller rentals. I like.

1:01:05

Minded and says we will have to

1:01:07

find that. Reiterates, I look like that

1:01:09

arose war with yeah ah, Melton early

1:01:12

and Lakers nuggets abroad. Beautiful touch. I

1:01:15

thought it was mistaken first. then I realized it

1:01:17

was on purpose and then I watched it again

1:01:19

and I thought it was an accident or Missouri

1:01:21

where. I landed on it like a

1:01:24

lot with an emphasis added guy although

1:01:26

some as as you get another the

1:01:28

discover that was not overall most the

1:01:30

Denver area to them our number darren

1:01:32

and was like seventy know we saw

1:01:35

your food etc about. Thirty

1:01:37

One Eighty Seven. And and I

1:01:39

think it over the silver medal.

1:01:45

Are no foreign born, blow out of the

1:01:47

pacers. And then for the goal. My words:

1:01:49

It'll Fellini and sun and again that I

1:01:51

wasn't able to withstand. But I set my

1:01:53

in the series ramsey there. but he was

1:01:56

rooting for the next. Only thirty nine, eight

1:01:58

1:02:00
