Pretty much. Im expecting Matthews to run for about 120 and Gates to rip us in the middle. I think the score will be closer than it should be and the Chargers will control the ball.

True dat.

But I think our starting WR's are better talent wise but they have more depth.

I expect Matthews to get at least 170 yards on the ground and another 50 in the air. Gates will probably shred and grab at least one TD.

I don't think the score will even be close.

I'm not predicting big numbers or high scores because I think they'll play a slow, effecient ball control style offense.

Half a quarter-quarter long drives, eat the clock and go home.

And that's simply because odds are pretty good at the end of the year Matthews is a top 5 back.

The Chargers have a top 5 QB in the league and are facing a defense that can't force turnovers or put pressure on the QB.

The Chiefs can hope for an implosion of some sort, which is somewhat likely to happen given it's the early season Chargers, but that's about the only way they can win the game. While the Chargers defense isn't special at all, Matt Cassel is hardly the answer to putting this disjointed offense together and scoring a buttload of points (which is what it's going to take to outscore the Chargers).

That's why the Chargers are favored to win.

I think the basis is that with this teams front 7, teams with talent are going to move the ball up and down the field.

Sproles is the worst out of the 4 as far as running the ball is concerned, but he is the best of the 4 as far as Special Teams and Catching the ball go.

Top 5....jeezus. It's probably because he beats us all the time that you guys put him right after Rodgers, Brees, Brady and Manning.

34 and 28 TD's back to back seasons.......whens the last time a Chiefs QB had a "B" seasons like that???

LOL......see what I mean?

Has nothing to do with the Chiefs, guy is a great player.

It's no different than Chiefs fans who always underrate QB's because we've never had one in most of the people posting here's lifetimes.

Was John Elway a B QB until he won a SB?

Matthews can't make the cuts a good Back needs to be able to make. He's LJ part II. If his line opens holes he'll hit them but if they don't he be average.

Mathews is waaaay overhyped.

If Rivers is a "B"...Cassel isn't even on the ****ing scale.
