2013 Chiefs Season Prediction -- Too early?

[Ace Gunner]

Early I know -- we haven't yet seen reports of them practicing in pads, but there is so little going on with Chiefs news, yet I am beginning to get some idea of how this season can shake out for the Chiefs. And contrary to Clayton's 0 - 16 prediction and claims Alex Smith is only a messenger of evil, who can only lead to evil acts of satanic glee, I submit the following;

1 AUG 9 7:00PMCDT AT SAINTS
2 AUG 16 7:00PMCDT 49ERS
3 AUG 24 6:30PMCDT AT STEELERS
4 AUG 29 7:00PMCDT PACKERS

The Dec 13th Broncos game at arrowhead is the one I'm not sure about. They could lose that and still make it to the playoffs at 8 - 8, maybe.

I think the trio of Jamaal/Bowe/Alex Smith is going to do well this season. It's Reid's first year and he is going to adjust his offense to the guys here, look for Jamaal to play a larger role in the pass game later in this season if these other yo yo's can't play #2 WR in this offense. Obviously, Reid likes speed at WR and the #2's right now ain't real spicy, so I expect Reid to succumb to Jamaal's greatness and bless the young man with all that is speed and will by getting him split out wide and driving that ball downfield pronto. Six. J Charles. Again. And again.

So, assuming the #2 WR spot is a catastrophe except when Jamaal is #2, it would be reasonable to think the TE position that this staff put so much energy in to, will be an occasional if not formidable group that can score in the red zone. If Moeaki can keep a season together then who knows, maybe this offense can really hurt ya.

The bread and butter is Jamaal & Bowe with Alex Smith pushing the buttons. I like Knile Davis in this thing also, he's got that pistol position ability.

And, of course, that defense is going to get after it again this season. I like Justin Houston in this style, he's going to have a big year, I believe. Tamba will too, I expect and the DL will finally have the spark they need to be an attack type of front seven. I expect Poe to really excel in this scheme.

what you got for 2013 Chiefs football? 7 -9? 5 - 11? 19 - 0?
