Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, there he is. What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Anything Better podcast for NFL week number. Oh, my God, dude, it's going on to week number five already. And I'm your host, Paul Berzi, over here. Bill Burr over there, we have Jake the Snake with injury reports, as always. And we have Andrew Semless, producer extraordinaire. I finally hit a couple of games here. But dude, this is the weirdest year because no lead is safe.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Dude, I had the Colts last week. I had the fucking Colts. Like, they score a touchdown. And the guy, like, dropped the fucking ball. They had another touchdown. And the same guy was holding. So, I mean, he probably wouldn't have got a touchdown if the guy wasn't holding. But like, and then I'm like, all right, I had the Colts three and a half.
Starting point is 00:00:56 There's like, I don't know how much time left. And, you know, Collinsworth is always like, there's plenty of time. It's like just 45 seconds to run their own 20. And then they score. So I was thinking like, all right, they're going to go down the field. I know they're going to go down the field. And for some reason, like a 50-yarder out of nowhere, Paul. Like, is a chip shot?
Starting point is 00:01:19 Like, I'm not supposed to be thinking they're juicing up the ball. It's insane, right? So anyway, first play, Paul. First play, they're 88 yards away. The Colts quarterback gets turned around, clicks his own feet, falls down. The guy handed him for a touchdown. I lost my bet.
Starting point is 00:01:38 It was like, you know, there's those bets you lose when you yell at the TV, and then there's the ones where you just sort of stare at the TV, just like, it's a delayed one. Like that Eddie Murphy bit, talking about getting hit, you ever get hit in the nuts? And there's like a 30-second delay before it hurt.
Starting point is 00:01:55 It's like that bit. It's like that bit. The same thing where you're just sitting there and then you fucking, yeah, I, yeah, I couldn't. Well, the one thing I'm getting from this year definitely is the point, the half a point has either, the half a point is coming into play big time this year. More than ever. That point five scares the shit out of me every time now. You know, and it's, dude, it's, I don't want to be floating. conspiracy theories out here, but it's like these, these leagues, they're there to make money.
Starting point is 00:02:30 And now they got involved in gambling. And they made this amount of money in their corporations. And they have to figure out how to keep making more and more money. So I think that they got to play like a game here. We've got to make more money on the gambling, but we can't do it so much that they stop. Like these conversations, they have to take place. Or maybe the system is just already in play. Like maybe they are. They're probably just. just, they are this good. Yeah, because it's been like this before gambling. They're good.
Starting point is 00:03:03 They're good. I mean, I look at this shit five seconds before we start talking, you know? How about the Giants beat the Chargers, huh? I'm happy for you, but like, I don't like the Chiefs now being two and two and everybody. Oh, they're fucking back and everything. I just, like, if I had to describe their offense, I would call it Cunty. Their offense is, that's a perfect word. It's just like you got him and then he scamper's first, first down.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Or are you going to get him and then he throws the ball like, ugh. It's just not, I don't know what it is. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I just find it so fucking hard to watch. It's just not like let's fucking just line up, may the best man win. It's always like somebody slips on a banana peel and they get a fucking first down. flag. It's the most, it's interesting, I should say. But I also will say that like the level of speed that is in the NFL now and the horrible tackling, like people just running through defenses like, did he just run through three guys? Are those guys even trying like this?
Starting point is 00:04:15 There's some really, I don't know if it's because they can't lead with the head again and they, anymore and they just the fundamentals of tackling they say i don't know they're going through them like butter um what's going out your patriots you like what you're seeing with new england yes i'm fucking beyond excited dude we've been we had our first blowout victory since uh 2018 now that last year tom was with us like he didn't have anybody to throw to or whatever that lost season and then cam newton came in and that didn't work and then Mac Jones, and that didn't work, and Belichick leaves. Then they bring in mail for one year.
Starting point is 00:04:56 They hire them to fire him, waiting for Brable, which was really not, as a fan, was not a fun thing to watch. So, yeah, the fact that we're two and two, and, like, you know, if we didn't have six turnovers and a zillion penalties, I mean, I don't want to take anything away from the Steelers. I mean, they got those six turnovers, but, like, six turnovers at some point, you're not taking care of the ball. we could easily be three and one.
Starting point is 00:05:20 So the fact that we're two and two, I'm really happy about that. And, you know, Drake May can move so he can extend plays. And, you know, he's got a decent arm and stuff. We've got that Stevenson kid, although, you know, set a couple of fumbles or whatever. But, like, you know, I like what we see. You know, there's some of the same problems that we've had. But I feel like we're going to improve each week. by the end of October, you know, we're going to be like, you know, they're that four and five
Starting point is 00:05:52 team. No one wants to play. You know, I'm, that's all I'm looking for out of this season. It's funny, you know what? I recently got asked to do this sketch and it was written by this sports channel, dude, like the fucking patriot hatred. So they wanted me to do some fucking thing where I was sitting at a bar all upset about how bad the Patriots were and looking back on Tom Brady. want that like i've never seen a dynasty so fucking disrespect but you know i even what i did i did rich eyes and i broke his balls he goes hey you see you see belichick's first game as on carolina it's just like dude i'm sorry they beat your team for 20 years you know you you you some of that everyone's like trying to take the joy the fans had away i don't know it's
Starting point is 00:06:41 fucking nuts that that's happened in sports yeah like they're winning teams that have historic winning. There just is a hatred out there because of that, that, like, resentment. But it's not usually supported by the media, but the New York sports fucking media, dude, has hammers us, fucking hammers us, and they control the narrative. Dude, you guys spend a zillion dollars to win a World Series, and the ESPN literally goes, and all is right in baseball. Like, it's wrong if you guys aren't.
Starting point is 00:07:13 It's fucking nuts. And then we start winning, and it's like, oh, and it's like, oh, he fucking cheated. Oh, now it's over. Oh, now you're miserable. It's like, no, man, it was fucking great. I hope it happens to you. Like, I'm actually at this point in football right now, Paul, I don't hate anybody because all the villains and all the storylines are gone. Yeah, it's true. It's like Eli retired, Brady retired, Pete Carroll left Seattle. He's in the Raiders. I don't care now. Nick Saban's gone. I was watching Alabama against Georgia. I was trying to hate Alabama.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Like, I liked Alabama before they won it every year. And just for fun, I just started rooting for LSU. But it's just kind of like, I don't, I don't, there's nobody, I don't hate anybody right now. How about this one, Bill? We've got to talk about this on the show today. In a few short hours, the one and done, Yang's Red Sox, Red Sox, to go on to the next thing. I don't need this in my life, dude. Oh, dude, I haven't watched.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I've checked in. I can't watch it. I got kids, dude. I honestly, I can't. They've seen me when I can't find an oven mitt in the kitchen. They don't need me to see me watching my Red Sox in playoff baseball against the Yankees. I'm not doing that to them. So it's funny.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I watched like almost every dog day of summer game. And now like playoffs, it's just like, like, I just, I don't know. You know what that is? Phil, that's self-awareness. Yeah, self-awareness. A good friend of mine told me one time that she held her temper because she realized, you know, her husband didn't deserve, she goes, he doesn't deserve this. And that just stuck with me.
Starting point is 00:09:02 And I was just thinking, my kids don't deserve this. That's really great for a wife to say, too. Oh, I know, no, she's like, but that was like, out of all the self-help stuff that I've read and all that, like, that keeps reoccurring in my brain. Like, Bill, people don't deserve this. Shut up. You know what I noticed about myself, though, as much as I'm a sports fan, and you know, I'm a huge sports fan.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I don't, I just, when my team loses, I kind of look, I take it. Dude, I was on the airplane on the way here. By the way, I'm in Sacramento. That's why I look like this, everybody. I'll be at the Sacramento punchline tonight and Cobbs in Sacramento and then Cobbs Comedy Club in San Francisco tomorrow. But, dude, I'm sitting in on the plane, and there's a guy in front. front of me. So like I'm window and then he's aisle in front. And I'm seeing his TV and he's
Starting point is 00:09:51 watching the Yankee game. He's a big Yankee fan. And he just gave a fuck on the level that made me go, am I that big? He was like, he was trying to be quiet. And then the Yankees got like two runs. He's going. And he's like looking around. People are looking at him. And it's like, I like, I like it. But I don't get like, it doesn't do to me what it does to like my son or some people and i i was that guy i just it's embarrassing it's embarrassing to give it's also a uh you just it's like it's like dating a fucking stripper to use that thing because it's just like you have a one in 32 chance that you're going to end the season happy and that's if you're with a franchise that is sort of caught a wave and they got the right owner the right gm the right manager the right
Starting point is 00:10:42 guys the right chemistry so much has to go your way just to get there to maybe win it you know what i mean um i don't know dude like Aaron boone it's just fucking unreal it's like the guy brought you guys to the world series last year it's just like there's nothing he can do people just dump their day on that guy and it's like you know this guy he's done you know he's done a good job i i don't know what like i don't know people just like you know after the fact why do you leave this guy and and he should have done this, you know? And I don't know. Some people say he's not even managing it.
Starting point is 00:11:17 It's just fucking analytics. I don't know. But I feel for that guy. I've been there, Paul. Yeah. All right, man. Well, let's get into the picks right now for week number five. We have a, this is the worst one that I've seen.
Starting point is 00:11:31 This is a, I don't like these lines. These are the worst lines I've seen. It's week five. I got one out of the gate that I love. Do you? I got one that I love. Wait a minute. have a, this is an odd. So, and this is five. So you go first. Okay. All right, Paul. There's
Starting point is 00:11:49 something about this Thursday night game. Oh. I remember hearing some time ago that when the coaches only have four days to plan, they have simple game plans. Okay. So I think if, if Seriani had a whole week to plan. I like seven and a half. I'm sorry. I'm not the eagle. Sorry. If, uh, if, uh, what's his face, um, who's that guy, who's their coach there for the Rams? McVeigh. McVeigh, yeah. If McVeigh had a week to really
Starting point is 00:12:28 utilize all of this stuff and his guys had all this time to heal up, it's the half point that I don't like. So I'm thinking because it's Thursday, I can see winning by a touchdown right i think it's you know division rivalry they're always fucking close i know it's eight and a half i got an old line here i like it even better 49ers eight and a half i love this pick okay paul this is a guy that's won like two games this year telling you i i pa pa pa i love that car bill i've bill i'm like two games better that's how bad i am i love that just picture jimmy the gent listening to my picks what's the matter with you
Starting point is 00:13:09 What's the matter with you? What's the matter with this? All right. Yeah, so I like the 49ers, eight and a half. I'm pretty confident about that. I don't know why. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I feel really good about that, Paul.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I like that pick. That's a lot of points with a good team. For my pick, this is a no-brainer. This is a Paul Verzi special. If there was ever a Paul Verzi pick in the history of the show, this is what it is. And it's simple. It's a great Chargers team
Starting point is 00:13:36 losing a close game to the Giants. and they're coming home against the commanders, and they're under a field goal. I'm taking that every day and Sunday, at a day, I'm taking it. So I'm gonna take Justin Herbert and the Chargers to bounce back after losing to the Giants and beat the Washington commanders minus two and a half.
Starting point is 00:14:02 All right, here's the Siriani game against Sean Payton, Broncos Eagles, Eagles at home, Three and a half. I know the Broncos are supposed to be good. I mean, I think the AFC West's good. I don't think the NFC East good. Three and a half. I like the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I feel like, you know, whatever hangover they had about the Super Bowl and shit, they want to win another one. I think he's got him going. I think they cover. I like that. And I like the confidence you had in that pick. Paul, you know, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, so I'm a little bleary eye.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Dude, my, my basement flooded last night when we were to sleep. Oh, dude. I was happy, though. I ran outside in wet slippers and knew exactly where to shut the water off, but the pipe had already burst. The pipe had already burst. I don't know how, like, how many hours before. Jeez. Dude, I got, I got rugs in my backyard drying.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I mean, it's just, it's a fucking shit show. It's a shit show. All right. Sorry. No, all good. I'm going to take the Ravens. I'm going to take the Ravens plus two. The Ravens just aren't winning and they're losing these heartbreakers and they have to turn it around or they're going to be in trouble. I like Lamar Jackson and them getting too. Oh, Jake, we didn't bring Jake in. Jake, we got to do a little give me the Ravens. But Jake, come in here and give us a little injury report. Well, it's good timing, Paul, because Lamar Jackson is probably going to be out. for that game so um may want may want to proceed with caution there yeah he's jay coming in like a superhero yeah oh dude that's why i called you in um don't you back up onto the sidewalk paul is that fucking bust was coming so we are gonna we are going to we are going to scratch the raven uh who else who else do we have injuries
Starting point is 00:16:01 uh jake well the niners have some injuries too and that's why i've seen that line shoot up but I think Bill made a good point. Like, it's still Thursday Night Football. Maybe the Niners can kind of hang in there with Mack Jones starting. So Mac Jones is starting quarterback this week. And then I don't know if you guys saw, but Tyree Kill is out for the season as well. That injury had on my night football is very disgusting. I'm glad I didn't see that.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Yeah, you don't want to see it. How about those dolphins? That looked like they were advertising new, like, crest with charcoal. That's what it looked like. It looked like some bootleg toothpaste outfit. I didn't mind the helmets, but those jerseys were. That was a tough one. And the league neighbor was out for a year.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yeah, that was terrible in that charter giant. I don't like that 49ers pick with Matt, Mac Jones again, but I'm going to stick with it because it makes no fucking sense. Exactly. That's why I'm kind of, you convinced me as I was watching you make the pick. I was like, you know what? He's making some good points. So anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, I just think it's going to be a simple game plan. Yeah. I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah. You know, in defense of Matt Jones, I made that fucking face. I mean, now that I've seen your boy out there with the fucking Colts with an offensive line, he's a completely different guy.
Starting point is 00:17:21 So, I mean, it wasn't like Matt Jones was playing with the best Patriot team. So who knows? Yeah. Yeah. And since Paul brought up the Charter Commander game, Jane Daniels is returning to the game. so that'll be an exciting matchup for sure. Daniel Jones, that's what I was trying to say. Yeah, he's all of a sudden looking like a superhero
Starting point is 00:17:43 with the Colts. Jake, I've never been more wrong. Yep, I'm going to say. I was trying to tell us. All right, well, he was. Paul was trying to tell us. Thank you, Jake. I'm going to change the pick from the Ravens,
Starting point is 00:18:00 and you know what? I'll take the thoughts. I'm going to take the Dolphins minus one and a half versus the hapless Carolina Panthers. Changes to the Dolphins? Nice. I'm going to take the Dolphins minus one and a half, dude. Come on. They're only one and a half point favorites.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Even with Tyreek Hill out there, still only one and a half. That's surprising. I like that pick, Paul. Thank you. From a guy who's two and 12, I like that pick. Whatever the fuck I. I don't know what I am. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:35 understand this Patriots Bill's line. How do you feel about that game going into Sunday night football? You know, I think we have a long way to go. I don't think we're ready to beat a team like the bills. And I think we can hang with them for a half, but then I'm worried they try to like burn out the clock in the end, and then they go from being up by like 14. and then we get like a garbage time. Field goal, something happens.
Starting point is 00:19:07 That just has backdoor cover written all. I don't like that number. I thought that number should have been about 10. Wow. The fact that it's eight, I feel like they know something that I don't, which is not easy. It's not hard to do.
Starting point is 00:19:24 So I'm actually going to take, I don't know. I like the Cowboys minus two and a half. Is there any injuries over there going against the Jets? Cowboys will be down, their top receiver, C.D. Lamb, but as you saw on Sunday, they didn't play last week, yeah. And they had no problem moving the ball up and down the field. Dude, how about that catch that guy running out of the end zone, running up just right on the fucking sideline and falling down?
Starting point is 00:19:50 Oh, my God. C.D. LAM was a wild game. C.D. Lamb was impressed. Forget about out of shape comedian Bill Burr. I'm going to take the Cowboys going into the Meadowlands against the fucking Jets who are, I don't think they're, I don't think they're, I don't. don't think they're as bad as their record, but I think the Cowboys are a better team and they can win by a field goal. Yeah. You've got to admit, Paul, my bullshit sounds good this week.
Starting point is 00:20:11 I really sound like I know what I'm talking about. I mean, I'm not going to lie. You sound fucking ready and prepared. No, this is PTSD from the fact that my basement is underwater. Now I don't care about anything. Full disclosure, I don't care about anything. Fuck it. You know what I'm going to do?
Starting point is 00:20:31 I'm going to put on my fucking big boy pants. The fucking Saints stink. They're the worst team in the league. The Giants are getting points and the Giants are coming off of a win. The Giants' defense is tops in the league. Defense wins, games. I'm going to take a better defense and a hyped up new quarterback, which has the fucking locker room psyched against the hapless New Orleans Saints.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Giants. I like that pick. I hate that the Saints are so. I love when the Saints were good. How I want to say this New Orleans and how great are those sports fans? They're the best. And also, I love, you know, they didn't knock down the Super Dome. What movie was that, Bill?
Starting point is 00:21:14 He goes, why say no? When it feels so good, say yes. Oh, I don't know. Oh, my God, the guy, Tommy Boy, the dad. I got to watch that again. I haven't seen that. You know what I'm talking about. No, Bill, he was the cop.
Starting point is 00:21:32 He was the cop in first love. Oh, God, dude, I don't know. Brian Denahey. He goes, because he was a good salesman, and he goes, why say no? They were drinking at the wedding. He goes, why say no? When it feels so good, just say yes. All right, Paul.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Now I'm not going to lie to you. I'm in the weeds now. Now I'm in the weeds. I don't know what to do. You know, is Baker Mayfield playing? Yes, he is. All right, fuck it. I like Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers.
Starting point is 00:22:07 I've been going down there, Paul. I've been going down to the DMZ this year. It hasn't been working out for me. The NFC South, DMs, I don't know what goes on there. I don't know who their mayors are. I don't know anything about that part of the world. I'm right there with you. I took Atlanta against Carolina, and they lost 30 to nothing.
Starting point is 00:22:22 So I don't know what's going on there either. Wait, Carolina beat Atlanta 30 to nothing? Yep, yep. Brutal. I don't think I've been more wrong about anything in my life. Wow. I was too busy watching that fucking Colts-Rams game,
Starting point is 00:22:41 like, oh, I had to go for a walk. I got it. What did I just watch? I just watched the team win a game three times and then let up an 88-yard touchdown to lose it. Like, I don't understand. Or what about that stupid fucking Cowboys Packers game? All of that bullshit.
Starting point is 00:22:58 That was the Collinsworth game. Still plenty of time. It's just like, how is there plenty of time? I mean, they get the ball at the 35 yard line and these guys all you got to do is pass midfield and they can kick a field ball. I mean, you know? I don't know. Yeah, I got
Starting point is 00:23:13 to get out of the dude, I'm like a human beings don't know how to fly. I got to be honest with you. I got to say this on the show because it drives me nuts. Having these guys literally put their lives on the line and having the game be able to come out in a tie
Starting point is 00:23:29 is one of the worst fucking things in sports. It's like, just go back. let a guy put I don't understand oh we're going to do one 10 minute period or whatever and then if it ends like that it's like no let the let the field goal kicker let it end where one of the these guys are battling for 60 minutes dude and then all of a sudden 40 40 it was a game like that needs to have a fucking winner there I said it I'm done I just can't fuck it any tie no ties I like the metaphor of a tie why what's that mean because it's just life you know just two sides kicking the shit out of each other in the end nobody wins what are we doing we should all be working together hey bill bill never did um no i i my thing is in in like uh combat sports like boxing and stuff like that's literally like and if it's a brutal fight and you know some of those trainers and those guys that little fought before it's like that that that fight literally took like probably a year off those guys
Starting point is 00:24:33 lives and you're not going to say but i mean what about the other side we're okay well i just took a year off my life and i lost i know well that that that uh arturo goddy uh mickey ward fight that one that one i could see in a tie because both of those guys you nobody could lose that one yeah i don't know that that's like that's just a whole other it's a whole other level Dude, that was the first time that a fight looked like a Hollywood movie with makeup and blood. I've never seen anything like... Oh, yeah, it was like Stallone wrote it. It was amazing.
Starting point is 00:25:11 It was fucking incredible, dude. Yeah. I enjoyed it. Italian, Irish guy just fucking mopping a floor with each other. It was amazing. All right, guys, before I do my fourth and final pick, wait, does Bill have three? Bill's has four. I got four Hail Mary's.

Starting point is 00:26:24 I am going to take the- I love that dramatic pause. I'm going to take the Kansas City, Chiefs. I don't like the half a point, but I will say this, and you know me, I'm not the biggest chiefs guy. I thought Mahomes made some passes to some younger receivers last game. I liked the three. I like it at three. I don't love it at three and a half, but I think they're better than the Jaguars. I'm going to take them in my last game. I think that now, if the Chiefs are turning it around, if they're doing one of these, I think it starts now against the Jags. So it should
Starting point is 00:26:59 be more than three and a half i hope that isn't happening and if it does happen can we just talk about the fucking team jesus fucking christ um yeah all right well bill you know what time it is bill it's time for you to sing oh let the monday night special win some money for you let the monday night special with some fucking money for you we are two and two we are two and two with Chuck Willardie. Be back in two and two. Rest is so. Two and two.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Rest of soul. All right. What do we got here for Monday night? We have... Chiefs and Jaguars. Ooh. I like what you were saying, Paul.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Chief's Money Line. I'm smelling what you were cooking. I feel like... Let's definitely take Chief's Money Line. That's money in the bag. Oh, yeah. It's true. It's money in the bank, Paul.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Hey, I'm Italian. I don't trust banks. It's money in the bank. Hey, hey, Andrew, there's the clip. There's the clip for the win. There's money in the bank, I think. All right, I like the Chief's money line. I just think they're a better team.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Dude, Travis Kelsey, Travis Kelsey just isn't the same. He's not really ranking up some numbers, is he? It just looks a lot slower. I mean, it's easy to say from a couch, but like, but it just doesn't feel the same as it was, I guess. This is like the first time I felt that one. Are you saying the honeymoon phase is over? It might just be beginning for him.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Hey, Paul, Paul, Paul, she's singing again. We got to go outside. She's thinking about heartbreak. I mean, what else does she? sing about i mean just no dude that would be so funny if he goes she always she always gets like she always gets like this right before tour i'm like this he goes taylor taylor i'm doing a show dude can you sing just he just comes back he goes god just fucking can't and that's never enough we talked about this respecting each other's careers
Starting point is 00:29:21 uh i'm gonna hear about that later but i i can't i can't deal with it um All right, Chief's Money Line, Mahomes to throw one. We do Mahomes to throw multiple, maybe. Or, I mean, but I mean, what do we think about Trevor Lawrence there with those nice long locks of his? Oh, Trevor Lawrence, he's the, whatever the alpha and the omega, the antithesis of the Anything Better podcast. You can do them to turn it over.
Starting point is 00:29:52 maybe ETM the running back for the Jags to score a touchdown he's had a good year those are kind of the options okay my thing I would do Mahomes to throw one they got that
Starting point is 00:30:06 is it Pacheco who do they got it running back I always forget that guy is just like now that guy I like yeah goddamn it Paul there's a guy in a chiefs that I like
Starting point is 00:30:17 I fucking like that guy that guy's a football player they're all football players it's just out of you know no the hard running yeah so i like my homes to throw one chiefs to win the game outright and then what do you want the third one to be paul this is it this is it it's going to be a 12 yard loss it's going to be a 12 yard loss and then he does this runs out of bounds uh you want to do a tn I mean, I would do the money line, Mahomes, to throw one.
Starting point is 00:30:59 And I don't know about, I don't know, I just, but that Pacheco kid always seems like he gets him down the field and then somehow Mahomes scampers in. Yeah. Scampers. And or he does a, some sort of the way he throws it, you know, whatever that is. You want to do, okay, how about this? This will make the odds better. do you want to do an all chiefs parlet you want to do mahomes to throw one mahomes to run one and then the chiefs to win or no say that again
Starting point is 00:31:31 mahomes to throw one and run one and then the money line yeah yeah to me that's a chief's game that's what i i see that every fucking chief game win or lose he does that write it up andrew write it up There you go. We got the Chiefs to win. We got Mahomes to throw and my homes to run. And you know what? If they're on the one or two, he will try to sneak in.
