From the episode

I'm going to take the Kansas city chiefs and there again, they're a team I feel weird about, but I, if we're talking about teams that I am backing, what I've said, I said a lot this off season, like anytime my homes is out there, I believe the offense will be fine.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mahomes bounces back; Chiefs' one-score luck swung from 11-0 to 1-8.

The source is backing Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs despite feeling weird about the team, believing that when Mahomes is healthy, the offense will be fine and the defense with young players and Spagnuolo will be solid. The speaker notes the Chiefs had the worst one-score game luck last year (1-7 or 1-8) after going 11-0 in close games the prior year, suggesting regression to the mean is likely.
