Time to move on from last night. This spread is a little higher than I thought it would be. I was thinking -3.5 to -4. It almost makes me think they are fishing for people to take the Texans, which seems like a pretty safe bet, of course that might just be wishful thinking. It will be interesting to see where this line moves but I expect it to drop as people start taking the Texans. Purely based on yesterday and our injuries though, seems unlikely we cover this number or anything more than a field goal. [Reply]
I would pound Houston on this one, even though I expect KC to eek out a victory. We have tons of defensive injuries and Watson has been lighting it up.
I actually expect is to be better against the run with Chris Jones out. Chris Jones is not great against the run because he sometimes blows up his spot which can open up running lanes. [Reply]
Additionally, the prop bets at the Las Vegas Superbook all point to KC coming out to a big lead in the first half. Favored to lead at half by 3.5 points, O/U for the biggest lead of the game is 14.5 points, and it's the overwhelming favorite that one team will score three unanswered, with no field goals in the first quarter.

Might be a good time to go fishing instead of yelling at the TV and letting my blood pressure rise listening to Dan Fouts.
Either the Chiefs get it together and the player start playing like professionals or things might get rocky.
I'm hopeful that our genius coach can get the players paying well again. They need to do their jobs and not just expect to win because Mahomes was the MVP last year. [Reply]
