and find out how you can be part of that experience.

In the meantime, many of you said, give Mr. X some room to roam for goodness sake.

So we will do just that today. Good evening, Mr. X. You are, you are all alone tonight

on the Zabecast, 30 uninterrupted minutes for us to talk about one of the more challenging

weeks. When it comes to handicapping the NFL, I think anyone has ever seen because of the

Omacron variant and all the COVID positives. But good evening, how are you? Welcome to

half time on the chargers and the chiefs, highly entertaining game in which, I don't know,

I guess Brandon Staley hates field goals, hates him a lot.

Yeah, he is, he's an over-corrector. I mean, you know, careful what you wish for the

last 10 years, most smart people have been saying go more often on fourth, go more often

on fourth, and then you're like, stop it. He's not already. He went for fourth and goal

early, first drive of the game from like the four. Yeah, missed. And then he went again

on fourth and goal from about the four with only five seconds left in the half. I mean,

that's six points. You'll let go right there. You know, they have the charts on what down

in distances are more convertible. I mean, it obviously goes up the shorter the distance.

Fourth and four is not easy, especially fourth and four in a compressed area of the field.

So I don't know. Yeah, I would, my, I know these, these are one of those things we could,

you know, you can do for hours. And there's so many different views. But I, I, I over

really simplify this to say charts are great. Watch the game. You're in. Read the room.
