Broncos -2.5 & Over 47
Really this is a home dominated series for the simple fact that we are talking about two of the toughest places to play in the NFL in Denver and Arrowhead. People might be concerned about Denver 's play to date saying they are not good and got crushed @ Miami. Well hopefully we are aware that Miami has a very good defense and will be tough to beat on there home field. Frerotte isnt as bad as many people here make him out to be{not to mention the weapons he has } and Ronnie Brown finally looked like a Top Draft pick. So there is no shame in that loss IMO as well as it being a somewhat misleading final. Denver had some questionable play calls taking points off the board and the defensive TD in the closing seconds.
Last week they gave SD some momentum fumbling going into the end zone in the 1st Q , plus some penalties and missed fG's. Simple mistakes that can be corrected in pratice. They fumbled away a TD , had a TD called back on penalty by Putzier , threw a red zone pick , and missed two 50yd Fg's. There offense moved the ball and KC still is not stopping the pass real similiar to what SD does. They are playing well against the run and Denvers run game is a question mark right now anyway. Anderson looked great in preseason but is hurting and Dayne looked great last week but we all go back to the menality its Ron Dayne. I truly think he will prosper if he gets the starting tailback spot. Anyway the key is KC allowing 7.5 yds per attempt on the pass which really doesnt have much to do with your team being behind or ahead. If Plummer has his touch on the deep ball tonite he could really have a huge game{looked awful in that aspect vs SD}. Regardless I still expect 28-34 pts from Denver tonite. KC defense has looked good statisticaly but really it was the NYJ offense that allowed them to be stuck on 7 points. Last week as I mentioned Oakland got screwed on the Moss penalty, had a Jordan TD called back and had the ball on the 15 yd line late. They just didnt make plays and IMO you cant continually have teams deep in your territory and walk away with allowing points. Denver defense really stepped up last week but SD play calling was questionable{LT got his point across in pratie this week} and KC wil get there points at least 20+. I noticed that KC has not played well on the road since midway thru 2 seasons ago going something like 4-9 ATS with 2 wins @ oakland , baltimore and Tenn not that impressive. SO this is a real big test for them and losing Sims hurt there defense but Roaf not playing or less then 100% is huge.
