Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right with Nick
Wright. The best takes and moments from this week on the show.
Enjoy. Yes, so they
played last year in the Steelers defense. Dave Drake made all types of trouble. And this is, you can see on your screen, kind of how the polymarket market has flowed on this game over the days and weeks leading up to the game. New England looked awful in week one, did I say?
There's no way around it. I didn't think their defense looked good. Kenneth Walker is micro the big story.
Obviously, Drake may look
so
bad. Kevin Wilds
all of a sudden is assigning him a shoulder
injury. There's real concern in New
England. But the
biggest story is, of course, Patrick Mahomes. Looked really good last week.
Granted, it's against
Atlanta. I'm getting five and a half points. No pun intended. And I
don't trust the Patriots. Well, so here's the
thing.
I don't trust the
Patriots.
And so if there's
teams that tore his ACL, if
Aaron has time, he can still throw an accurate
ball. And so
I'm just getting five and a half
points. I think
it should be New England
three and a half. 2019,
he
dislocated his kneecap. 17-14, 21-17, 24-20
are all
27-24, 28-24. Those are all New
England
wins that
I cover. And I
think Pittsburgh,
you know,
has
got a
1-3
shot
of
just
winning the game
outright. So I'll take
Pittsburgh. Plus
five and a half
against
going into New England. And
TJ Watt against
Will Campbell.
Or against Morgan Moses is something
I'm
interested in watching. And to
announce
he
is
back. And also
to announce some of the Chiefs issues at wide receiver are still
not fixed.
On the
opening drive of the
game, he
ran it in for a touchdown. Listen, they got a holding penalty. As
of this recording,
the Falcons have no idea who's playing quarterback for them. It could have been no better for one of the defining athletes of
the 21st century,
which he is. Not an NFL starting quarterback. They
want to play
Pennix. He's injured. He's
not worried about that
damn name. Then
against
what
he's supposed to
be. And again, I recognize that.
With an undrafted rookie free agent protecting his blind
side. that they
bounced back to some degree.
What happened in Patrick Mahomes' return and the Chiefs vs. Broncos game?
The
Panthers are 9-0 against
the spread and a team that has
more hope
going
into this year than
they've had since Peyton Manning
was their quarterback. One outright or covered the spread in a game they
were favored in five
years. Guys,
it's the AFC
West. Because there's only
a handful of games
they've been favored. I'm already healthy. And as has been the case every year of my career, I've saved one. Spoiler alert, this isn't the only one of those I'm doing this week. That is historically
the
wrong thing to do. But
I think
Carolina... Has real hopes for this season. Their offense looked, you know, Bryce got to be as confident as he's ever been. Atlanta just trying to, you know, keep its head above water until Pennix gets healthy. Stafford
and Joe and these other great
quarterbacks. And they are great quarterbacks. Or
Caleb or Drake or
Trevor, who I believe are
going to be... I don't think
the Chargers are good and are turning into
great
quarterbacks. I think there is real concern about
Ladd-McConkie's availability. I think that they are
already... Not liking Harbaugh's decision
to
platoon their guard position,
which I've never seen done
before. When
the chips are down, platoon their guard position. What do you mean? Is he like cycling? There's only one choice on who you'd want running your
team. He's rotating their
left guard.
At 15 in
Kansas
City. And he reminded you of that last night, when even in
a
game
where he didn't have it, Ladd didn't practice on Wednesday, and I
don't expect
Ladd
to play. And everything
looks off in the passing
game. And
then he
finishes. 13
of 15 will have
to
be. Oh, he's done. Genting looked
awesome
in week one. Cousins is
fine. And
the Chargers will
have to go silent count in this game.
It is in
Los Angeles, which means it is a Raiders home game.
And I
think the Raiders can win outright. There has been a
lot. I certainly think they can keep
it close.
I
will
take the
Chargers. Getting six. I'm sorry, the
Raiders
getting
six and a half. Chiefs
