Recommended Posts

   4:35 EST      Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden on ESPN  ...over-under 40

 

KC QB Alex "Just call me 'game manager" Smith (307 of 470, 3,486 yards, 20 TDs, 7 INTs) has 498 yards on 84 carries but he has been sacked 45 times,

Oddly, he threw two interceptions last week in the 23-17 win over Oakland.

WER Jeremy Maclin (87 catches, 1,088 yards) and TE Travis Kelce (72 catches, 875 yards) have been big in KC's 10-game win streak.

RB Charcandrick West has 634 yards in 160 carries in

OLB Justin Houston will try to play after missing five games..KC's defense has 22 pass interceptions and 43 QB sacks.

KC has held 10 teams to 20 points or less but they've only beaten 3 teams with winning records..

Chiefs have run the ball 436 times and passed 473 times in 16 games

 

Houston QB Brian Hoyer  was 25 of 40 last week for 249 yards.

WR DeAndre Hopkins (111 catches, 1,521 yards) caught 7 last week for 89 yards..

JJ Watt has 17.5 of Houston's 43 QB sacks..(Whitney Merciless has 12) Texans average just 3,7 yards per rush

Texans have held six teams to 10 points or less...and have allowed 281 first downs, second lowest in the NFL (behind Seattle)

Houston lost all-pro tackle Duane Brown last week and the replacement is the old Bronco tackle Chris Clark

 

There's not a lot to choose from here. KC won the earlier meeting 27-20 but that was 17 weeks ago/

I don't think KC can block Houston's front consistently but Houston's O-line is shorthanded..

If I had to, I'd take Houston and the points......but there's no solid bet here

    • Not the same Josh Allen who's now the early odds on favorite to win league MVP this season. Seems like AR's stats are better six games in to start his career as compared to Allen at the same juncture. You can see AR's raw talent that's similar to Allen's who also shared the same narrative coming out about accuracy, touch etc BUT the difference is that the Bills were patient in his development and the overall team got better on a yearly basis.   AR basically missed his rookie season early last year so his growing pains will rear its head as he flashes both good and bad plays. The  receivers aren't making it any easier by having some untimely drive stalling drops so far. AR also doesn't have the luxury of an elite TE as a security blanket but the biggest problem is that most Colt fans are getting restless with the consistent ongoing non factor of the team seemingly on a yearly basis which hasn't been good enough to accomplish anything.   Last season created a false narrative that the team was better than they really were because they barely missed the playoffs after losing the last home game to a very young Texan team led by a rookie qb. So instead of upgrading the talent Ballard chose to run it all back with his mostly mediocre team that still has yet to see any type of sustained success even with the help of a nearly last place schedule a season ago.   Ballard's decision to bring back Gus as dc after finishing 28th in points allowed in back to back seasons is mind blowing! The defense is ranked nearly dead last in run defense and 3rd down efficiency so far this season yet the "great" EJ Speed is barking about the offense. Lol Now off to an 0-2 start the patience for AR's early growth will be slim but on the flip slide Ballard has been given an EIGHT yr pass (record wise) of subpar results.
    • Say what we will.  The only numeric of real meaning is 0-2.
    • The OL is one of the few bright spots of this team this year.  Defense not stopping the run and Shane playcalling having AR throwing 30 times a game is what’s leading to our downfall.
