Today's show: Recapping the Chiefs' tight win over the The Chiefs were a huge favorite going into Monday night, but it seems that someone forgot to tell the Giants about that, because they actually provided some drama in a game that Kansas City only ended up winning by three points (20-17).The only thing that had more drama than the game was the podcast we recorded afterward. Here are three key things from that game that we touched on:Chiefs defense actually comes up big.The Chiefs have had one of the worst defenses in the NFL this season, but on Monday night, the unit actually came up big. For one, they limited the Giants to Nico Siragusa Jersey just 300 yards of of total offense, which was the second-lowest total they've given up this season. They also came up with several monstrous plays, including a first quarter pick by Willie Gay that he returned to New York's 13-yard line. The interception set up a Chiefs touchdown, which was obviously big, since Kansas City only won by three points. The Chiefs defense also came up with three sacks, including two on the Giants' final drive of the game. The sacks were pivotal because when the Giants started their drive, they needed just 35 yards to get in field goal range. Chiefs offense still looks out of sync.After only scoring three points against the in Week 7, the Chiefs offense had another rough night in Week 8. Not only are defenses playing them differently, but it also feels like the Chiefs just aren't on the same page. completed just 29 of 48 pa ses for 275 yards and he also threw an interception in the end zone that bounced off a receiver's hands. The most concerning part for the Chiefs is how much struggled. The tight end caught just four pa ses for 27 yards and he also lost a fumble in the third quarter that led to a Giants touchdown. The Chiefs are going to need to figure things out quickly because they have the coming to town this week. Giants plagued by bad coaching.The Giants botched their final po se sion of the first half and their final po se sion of the game and most of that had to do with coaching. Joe Judge misused multiple timeouts in the game. After the lo s, he blamed his timeout snafus on the fact that the Giants' . I'm not saying the Giants should fire Judge, but I'm also not so sure that I would want to keep around someone who's blaming bad coaching on broken headsets.Besides those three things, we also spent some serious time debating whether the Chiefs will make the playoffs this year.

Prisco's Power Rankings heading into Week 9We have some big news in the Power Rankings: For just the third time all season, Pete Prisco has a new team at the top. The Packers are now No. 1 after a Week 8 win over the , who were No. 1 in last week's Power Rankings.With that in mind, here's a look at Prisco's top 5 teams heading into Week 9:PackersRamsCardinalsTitansI'm not going to spoil the rest of the power rankings here, but I am going to give you a few nuggets. Here's what has changed since last week:The biggest jump this week went to the , who moved up six spots. Thanks to their win over the , New Orleans made the move from 13th to sixth. Personally, I think that's kind of high for a team that doesn't have a quarterback and I will be sure to let Prisco know.The biggest tumble in this week's rankings went to the . After cracking the top 10 last week, the Chargers immediately proved they couldn't handle the pre sure of being ranked so highly as they went out and lost to the . The lo s dropped them from 10th to 15th.The most surprising move in the rankings probably went to the Chiefs, who moved up five spots following their unimpre sive win over the Giants. Their 20-17 win was enough to move them up four spots from 16th to 12th.We also have some big news at the bottom Sam Koch Jersey of the rankings: THE ARE NO LONGER IN LAST. After beating the , the Jets jumped up four spots from 32nd to 28th, which means we now have a new team in the cellar and that team is the .

I argue with him all the time about everything. 3. Breech's Week 9 picksIt's Tuesday, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for my weekly picks.If you want to ignore my picks today, I won't blame you and that's because I went 6-9 last week. It was an ugly week, although I think it should have an asterisk next to it because it wouldn't have happened if cats didn't exist. I went 0-4 picking cat teams. Dumb cats. If Joe Judge can blame headsets for his lo s to the Chiefs then I can blame cats for my bad week.With that in mind, here are three of my picks for Week 9 and I'm clearly a masochist because I'm going right back to picking cat teams. Cleveland at Cincinnati (-3):Since injury, the offense has been nothing short of a disaster. Over the past three weeks, the Browns have scored 14, 17 and 10 points, and that 17-point Chris Wormley Jersey performance didn't even come from Baker because it came in the only game that started. Not being able to score is kind of a big deal in a sport where the entire objective is to outscore the other team. I'm taking the Bengals. PICK:Bengals 23-20 over Browns.Minnesota at Baltimore (-5.5):Since taking over the starting QB job in 2018, has started 11 games against NFC teams and he as gone 11-0 in those games, which means I will be picking the Ravens in every game they play against an NFC team going forward until they actually lose one. PICK:Ravens 3
