Kansas City Chefs +9.5, very interesting?

[frostno98]

This game seems like a perfect Vegas trap setup for Denver, but one thing has to happen. If Damon Huard starts, I like the Chefs at +9.5. The Chefs has the personnel that will give Denver fits in the passing attack with Gonzales/Bowe, or the ground game with LJ. That Denver D is completely clueless. That's why the -9.5 is going to be venerable.

I don't see this game being a blowout like that Raiders game, because KC is going play it like a must win. I think Damon Huard is much better passer than Russell and he's good enough to at least give KC the backdoor cover. As a Broncos fan, I seen many of these game at Arrowhead and it's going to be crazy. This game is not going to be easy as the public is going to perceive it.

Betus has KC +10.5 right now...

They suck pretty bad though, I wouldn't get pulled into betting them Their QB next week will probably be some homeless guy they pull in off the street! Agree that arrowhead stadium is a tough place for the Broncos to play!

denver will win by 20, this aint no trap game, it aint no dolphins/pats game. denver has never looked so good wit cutler and that offence and kc has never looked so bad, who they going to start next week the 4th stringer. their 1st stringer wouldnt even start on any other team

[NardVa]

If KC can run LJ they can control the game/time of possession and keep it close. If Denver's offense can't get on the field then they can't score.

[Italia_NYC]

I would take Denver -30 in this game. -10.5 is a gift from the Gods.

[smitch124]

KC's great homefield advantage has fallen by the wayside the last year +. Still gotta have players.

when was the last time LJ controlled a game, not since KC had a pro bowl line that retired a few yrs back.

If Huard starts I think there is value on the Chiefs. Denver has an awful defense, and will be playing on the road after luckily winning the last two games.

[ZBOIZ]

Actually Guys K.C is a good bet!!! It's just like that Oakland and Buffalo game.

[thejrichshow85]

if any book were smart they would make K.C +13.5 and take everyones money, KC is by far the worst team in the leauge!

Actually the Rams.

[thejrichshow85]

rams are better IMO.

[harsh506]

you really think champ cant shut down bowe?

[thejrichshow85]

bowe is actually one of the few bright spots on the kc roster.

I know that Kansas City blows, but Denver has been a loisy favorite for several years now, and their defense makes it impossible to give this many points on the road with them.

[Lout84]

Denver wins this one by 21. There is no trap on this one. Denver is going to pressure KC's young QB, Thigpen. He will throw another 3 INTs on Sunday.

Like I said earlier, Damon Huard has to start to make that +9.5 more favorable because he can pass. I remember everybody hammering Denver at -3.5 last year when they visited the 3-7 Raiders, a game they lost 34-20. Struggling rookie Jamarcus Russell was relieved in that game by Josh McCown who came in and picked the Denver Secondary apart. Denver was coming off two strong wins prior to that lost.

If Tyler Thigpen starts then it's a whole different ball game because he ain't no Drew Brees or Philip Rivers who are both great passers. I don't see this rookie picking the Denver secondary apart like the previous two games by SD and NO. KC can not be one dimensional like the Raiders and just feed the rock to LJ, or this is going to be another blow out like Monday night.


If Thigpen starts -9.5 is the better play
If Huard starts +9.5 is the better play

[fiveteamer]

I would take the pts if forced to pick this game.

[hakrjak]

If Thigpen starts -9.5 is the better play
If Huard starts +9.5 is the better play

I agree with this. We need to wait and find out who is starting before making the bet for sure. One thing you didn't consider though -- If it gets out that Huard is starting, I think the point spread will drop to 7 or so, and at that level I'd take the Broncos as a LOCK

[keystonekid]

Man, I got KC +10 and have been burned every damn time. I am staying away from this game.

[rumple]

Denver looks like a good suicide pool pick this week.

I tend to stay away from road teams in suicide pools.

[$$POOLCRAZY$$$$]

Denver is much the better team by far...this might be a GIVE IT ALL U GOT game,like what MIAMI did to N.E. last week..I dont see Miami doing that to any 1 again(took N.E. by surprise)..just like what K.C. is gonna do to its div.rival broncos..Take the points with K.C.+9 1/2

[Italia_NYC]

I wouldn't care if Joe Montana came back for one more game and played QB for the Chiefs; I might very well take out a substantial loan and put it all on Denver this week! Denver's offense is fantastic and the Chiefs have zero answer for any aspect of it. Not to mention they are arguably the worst team in professional sports (second only to the Rams). The Chiefs will no doubt score, and this will no doubt be a high scoring game, but Denver -9.5 today is truly a gift from above!

[BestPlay2day]

-9.5 is a lot of points. Did a 7 point teaser with the Bills and Broncos fading the Rams and Chiefs. I bet there will be a lot of teasers using the Broncos this week which could push the number up to -10 or -10.5.

[marke4]

Denver is good and KC is really really terrible. But it is the NFL, and unless its a dynasty team like the pats last year, I never feel good giving up 9 or more points.

I am going to tail you on that tease.

Especially on the road.

[HOMAR]

denver -2.5 teaser.....7pt...if the new kid. come to play QB i will drop some money on the BRONCOS also...

I saw Chiefs game last week against Atlanta. If Atlanta scored 38 against them, Denver can score 51. I don't think however that Chiefs can score 42 and cover. Denver wins by 3 TD's.

Of course Denver looks better on paper, that is always the case when a team is favored by nine on the road.

And yet, NFL Road Favorites in the 8-9.5 range are just 49-67, 42.2% ATS, Flip that around and you have a 57.8% angle on the home dogs.

LT,

Chiefs are awful. They can't stop the run or the pass. Their offense is anemic and will not matter who is the QB because the plays are designed from the offensive coordinator who sucks.

[fiveteamer]

This happens every ****ing year.

3-0 teams look so good they will never lose again.

0-3 teams look so bad they winn never win again.

KC wins at least 4 games this year. What is so great about the Denver defence?

Who knows what could happen in this game.

Which is an excellent reason to pass the game.

Do you realize that this line implies that Denver would be -15 if they were home? The Broncos are simply not worthy of such elite status.

[pavyracer]

I am not betting on this game. I'm just saying that betting on the Chiefs to cover the spread is a bad play.
