Come out of halftime and it's a totally different ballgame in the 3rd... which has been the case all season.

Regarding KC, like most, the 4-0 start is a surprise, so yeah KC should be able to do better than 8-8... with 12 games left, winning half puts them at 10.

I see 7 very tough games out of the 12 for KC... not saying they'll lose all of them by any means, but it's a tough road.

Here he goes again...have you glanced at your second half schedule?!?

Bottom line is this, the Broncos hasn't broken down in any major ways... they've given up some big plays, but they adjust incredibly well. They're far from perfect or consistently dominant, but they are very good.

4-0 is what it is and I think any team sitting there deserves props.

Certainly, and you don't have to split hairs with stats to get there was really my only point.

Good Lord when you host the Jags I do believe Vegas will set the largest NFL spread in the history of the game.

Good luck with all that.

KC has played 4 teams with 3 wins...

The pass rush should have you concerned with your weak neck qb.

What's kind of amazing is that we're ranked #9 in offensive scoring.

KC did allow the Eagles more ypc than they averaged in all their other games, but it's not just Philly. The Jags and the Giants both had more success running against the Chiefs than they have had against other teams as well.

The only stat that matters is points allowed.

I think we split with Denver this year with each team winning at home. Should be a couple of great games...

Lol I had Seattle -20 against the Jags and won that one. It will be interesting to see if the Donks are more than 20 pt. favorites.

Could be the first game in Vegas history to have the point spread and the over/under be the same number. Somewhere around 42.

Well, the Broncos have allowed four rushing touchdowns this season. The Chiefs have only allowed one. But keep thinking your rush defense is superior if it makes you feel better.

My guess would be a split of the home games as well... I think that's a good rule of thumb every season, and especially this year.

How would you like to slice it?

Defenses for DEN and KC through 4 games:

Rushing Attempts Against / Yards Allowed / Rushing TDs Allowed / YPC Allowed

92 / 296 / 4 / 3.2
87 / 470 / 1 / 5.4

Congrats on owning 1 of those 4 stat lines. KC has seen 5 fewer rushes, while giving up 174 more yards...
