And you remember recess.

I'm sure you had this in Chicago, and you go to recess.

Now, this part You were not a part of green when everybody lined up so you could pick the touch football teams.

You go.

You know, Give me Patrick.

Okay, Give me tiring.

Alright.

Give me Chris.

And if we were doing that and we lined up the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Kansas City Chiefs, we pick Mawr, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I think you go, Tyree.

Kill Travis Kelsey.

Patrick Mahomes On offense, those guys would get picked.

Maybe tiring, Obviously tiring Matthew Chris Jones defensively.

But I feel like the rest of the dudes be Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

You look at the offensive line.

You think Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

Obviously the linebacking corps.

The secondary When you go pick person for person, roster for roster does have a big Buccaneers are better now.

Is it going to be that Patrick Mahomes is just so good he can overcome that?

Or the Kansas City Chiefs just so top heavy that they can be better with less.

But when you look at these teams, you really have to start looking at this game and given the Tampa Bay Buccaneers more of a chance to win, forget what you saw in Week 12.

The roster and Bay is better, and they have the goat.

So when you look at this game and you sit down with your popcorn with your beer with your soda, remember, the Tampa Bay books are probably the better team.

Well, and so does that mean to you, Dominic Fox?

Or, if they should be the favorite?

Everything Ryan said, Make sense.

I don't think you disagree.

Should the fucking years be the favorite in this game?

I don't I don't disagree.

They're the more talented team.

But I'm not sure that there the better team.

And I know Ryan, with his Spencer James varsity jacket, understands the importance of team continuity.

I think that continuity matters in that team that that that chief team, though they may not have as much talent as the Buccaneers team.

That team plays well together and they understand each other.

They trust each other, and they've been the most efficient offense that we've seen in this league over the past three years since Patrick Mahomes in Eric B.

enemy took over that offense, so that has value.

That's not easy to measure necessarily.

But it has value.

And if you look at these two offenses over the past few weeks in the playoffs, there's only one offense that's been good or anywhere close to being dominant.

The Bucks offense has not been that, no matter how much talent they have, they have not been as efficient or effective as the Chiefs offense, and part of that is because of trust and continuity.

That's something that you can't manufacture that's fair.

And RC let me float a different theory at you, and that is at the end of the day, Kansas City has Patrick Mahomes and the other guys don't, and he just makes that much of a difference.

Is that a reasonable way to look at it?

No, it is absolutely a reasonable way to look at it.

But don't we have to start giving him credit for that?

Don't we?

Don't we have to start talking about this game and seeing what Patrick Mahomes has toe overcome?

I mean, you know, you mentioned Spencer dreams.

Dominique, Listen, Billy Baker is not gonna be coaching the Kansas City Chiefs.

It's Andy Reid.

And so when you think about these teams, just gonna be okay.

What can Andy Reid do?

What can Eric B.

Enemy due to put Patrick Mahomes in the right position to win this game?

He's gonna be under direction.

You saw earlier on last week when Dominique was talking about Shaq Barry, the way he comes off the ball, Not having Eric Fisher, obviously the other tackle, being out jpp playing at an All Pro Probo level right now and defensively with the linebacking corps.

What Todd Todd Bowles could dial up.

I feel like Patrick Mahomes is the underdog here.

That Patrick Mahomes is the guy that has to overcome.

Or and if we remember through three quarters last year, the Super Bowl, he wasn't Patrick Mahomes.

He wasn't great.

And so we're gonna have to look at this game and start giving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mawr credit for getting their Mawr of a chance to win the game.

And if the Kansas City Chiefs do win, it's gonna be on Patrick Mahomes.

We won't walk away from this game and say, like Eli Manning, he threw one good pass and the NASCAR package was great.

It's gonna be Patrick Mahomes, Mawr, Patrick Mahomes, and if he doesn't show up, then they don't win.

I think that's right.

So, Graziano, is it reasonable to say, with the two legendary quarterbacks in this game, there's a lot more pressure on my homes to be great than there is on Brady to be great.

Yeah, I think we see it coming in, right.

I mean, Brady was great in the first half of the NFC championship game and picking up third downs.

He threw three interceptions in the second half and they still withstood and he's got.

It's amazing to think about.

He's got Maura around and we had to make picks for this game, and I think I'm going with the Buccaneers.

I mean, it sounds bizarre to pick against my homes, but it's incredibly tough to win two in a row.

It's been 16 years since anybody did it.

Congrats to the Chiefs on getting this far, and of course, they obviously could.

And what?

No one would be surprised, but Tampa Bay is loaded.

They're playing as well as they have all year.

The continuity element?

Yes, it matters but doesn't still at this point with Tampa Bay having come this far at this point, if they lose, is a lack of continuity from the off season going to really be the issue?

I don't think so.

I think you know, they're they're sleeping in their own beds all week.

There's a lot, I think, pointing toward Tampa Bay here, Nick, Nick, give me a final thought.

Oh, yeah, I mean, I like that.

It makes sense.

It reminds me somewhat of the Eagles verse, the Patriots Super Bowl when it came down to the old line versus the line, I was brave enough back then to pick the Eagles toe.

Win that game because of that line play.

I'm not that brave right now because I've seen Patrick Mahomes.

I watched the playoffs last year.

I watched him last week.

I don't got the heart to go out here and say that, and you're right.

The old line matters, and if they can't protect him, there's nothing he could do about it.

He is not God, but he's damn close, and I'm not gonna bet against him just yet.

I don't know.

You do it at your own risk.

Graziano.
