Chiefs 3.5 point favorites on the road @ JAX

[Ming the Merciless]

Pretty much everyone here knew we would be the favorites...

Is 3.5 points too little? About right?

Will we win by 4+?

If so can CP make a ton of money on this game?


What say you, CP?

Shall our fortunes ride together?

You'd think Jacksonville might be a little easier to play a game at than South Florida but who knows?

I know it's cliché but, it's not the heat, it's the humidity. Today is great. Low humidity and a breeze. Yesterday I was pouring down sweat after walking to the mailbox. Same temp both days.

I'm praying for more of the same as today for sunday

And how many players from the 1970 roster remain on the team today?

How do you rationalize using games scores from 40 years ago to predict future wins or losses?

Because, there is history to suggest that there is something about teams coming to Florida in what is still summer here, that typically results in a loss for the visiting team. The same can be said for warm weather teams playing up north in December.

well sort of...

if it were on neutral ground, they think chiefs would win by somewhere in between 6 and 7


so yes

but because it is in JAX they think it will be a bit tougher....

An old Philly HC was the last one to win one down there, I think. And that took a hurricane.

[Ming the Merciless]

OK BOYS

Together we ride....

I think I might place a decent amount on this one.........if it were JUST 3 I might go even more.....so chiefs winning by 3 would push....I hate that it is 3.5...

but i might go a couple hundy on it at 3.5

anyone seen it anywhere at 3.0?

Shit I'll throw a hundred at that bet. We're gonna win by 10-14pts.

Gabbert is going fail miserably in this game, DJ, Houston, Hali, Poe are all licking their chops this week.

And **** MJD. I could give a damn about him.

This sounds a lot like that Roulette board at casinos that shows you the previous winning numbers. Some people think there is a pattern that they can detect from those boards, even though each roll of the ball is a completely separate event and not dependent on previous rolls. I understand that football is slightly more complicated than roulette, but maybe we should narrow our field of vision a few years and only count results from Florida for the last five years or so and not 40. The winning percentage may show the same thing from the past five years, and then I will accept the argument.

[okcchief]

I think the line is about right. I agree with the weather theory, but believe coaching and QBing (believe it or not) allows the Chiefs to win by 3-7 points. Jacksonville picks first next year.

That's not dumb, that's fact.

They usually play there later in the year when it is colder in KC and they aren't used to the Florida heat. It is different this year.

3 teams in Florida. Same result. Boogadda, boogadda, boogadda

Since the merger:
Denver 4-8
Oakland 7-13
San Diego 8-10

Other than the Bucs in 2000(?). All three teams are rather....meh

[texaschiefsfan]

It means we're due for a win.

Anyone want to pick against the Jaguars now? Victory has been sealed for them.
