Chiefs Sunday's Chances of Victory

**DaFace** · 09-17-2010, 12:07 PM

Since no one is every 100% sure about the outcome of a game, I thought I'd throw a new twist in on the old "Who's gonna win?" poll. The question is not "Who will win?" but instead "What are the chances of a Chiefs victory over Cleveland?"

Go.

70%

The Chiefs looked better last Monday, but I'm still a bit worried they'll lay an egg here. I expect Cleveland to hang around, but if Kansas City has turned a corner then they should be the ones controlling play for the majority of the game. Ensuring the "career day defense" doesn't return would be a start...

I think the Chiefs will be ready to play despite the short week and being away. The run D looks to be much improved and so is our ST. Those are the primary areas the brownies killed us at. I give the Chiefs 70% chance of "spankin dat azz!"

I picked 80%. Your D looks real, running game is real, ST looks real, coaching looks real. If Cassel doesn't shart in his uni the Chiefs should win handily, but I'm leaving the door open 20% in case he turns out to be the failure most here think.

60%.

I think we are more talented. I also think we have a distinct advantage with coaching, particularly the assistants. As FlaChief pointed out, we've improved in 2 areas we got killed in last year by them.

On the flip side, it's their home opener. We're on a short week. First game away from the high energy of Arrowhead.

I still think our edge overcomes theirs and we win, but it will be relatively close.

I'd jump it up to about 65%, but agree with the rest.

Went with 90%. Homerism couldn't quite completely erase 3+ years of let downs.

I know 50/50 is the chickenshit answer, but that's how I feel. I don't think that the Chiefs will have as much special teams success this week. The Browns should gameplan to make Cassel beat them, which he likely can't. But still... its the Browns.

50% is a bullshit answer and reply. If it's that close, you should either reply 40% or 60%. Why even bother with answering 50%? Pussy.

I already called myself chickenshit. Your post is redundant.

I was downgrading you from Chickenshit to Pussy.

That's an upgrade. I mean, which would you rather eat?

Ok, ass. 49%, with the Brownies getting a 2% swing for home field.

This is spot on.

Why we could win: Better coaching, better defense, better special teams, film from last year, Charles and Jones. Cleveland playing 2nd string QB, they usually lose their home opener.

Why we could lose: We're on the road, Chiefs not a good road team. Nobody on Cleveland will rip their helmet off in the middle of a game changing play. They ran the ball up our ass at Arrowhead last year. Cribbs returned the ball up our ass on kicks last year. Two KC Defensive Ends questionable, Matt Cassel is our QB. It might rain, which always helps the home team.

80%. the browns are terrible. They have no talent and are poorly coached. It would be embarrassing to lose to them.
