This game reminds me of last year's season opener, with Croyle at quarterback against Baltimore on the road. As I recall that game was tied at 24 with less than 5 minutes to go, despite the fact that the Baltimore offense was moving the ball at will and the Chiefs offense was completely inept. It ended up 38-24 thanks to two late scores, but they were still in it with under 3 minutes to go.
That's exactly the kind of wacky game I'm thinking of when I predict KC winning 30-27. The Chiefs shouldn't win the game. There's no logic to it at all. They're completely outmatched and were utterly destroyed twice last year. But weird things just seem to happen the first week or two of the season in the NFL.
