Chiefs can easily take this one. Falcons struggle on the road and have lost in two straight openers. Losing Hali and potentially Johnson (one of my fav lb's) is huge. The Falcon's have receiving threats but don't have adequate time to give them the ball. If Chiefs fail to generate pass rush it could be a long day for KC. On offense I expect a ground and pound attack from KC using Hillis and Charles. This worries me, with the loss of our run stopper Curtis Lofton can the young 2nd year MLB Akeem Dent fill in adequately? As a Falcon fan my ideal situation would be to take an early lead therefore prompting Cassel to throw into the Falcons secondary which is a strength of our D.
At the most Falcons may win by 10 but I don't think it will be a murder by any means. If there is any sort of lead (Mike Smith) "Smittyball" will ensue after halftime where ultra-conservative plays will be called.
