Football AFCW: Week 11 - Page 8

Mile High Mania · 01:27 PM

I feel like I'm having that moment in 'The Jerk' when Navin R. Johnson realizes the phone books just arrived. "It's here - It's here... Chiefs @ Broncos, sounds like your typical assholes are coming to town."

Anyway, this is what everyone around here has been clamoring about for months now, the only blemish is that it's 8-1 vs 9-0, but sole possession of first place is on the line here, and there's absolutely no lack for drama.

As I type this, the Manningverse is all lit up about the MRI that will be performed today and while it's definitely a concern, I don't see this being a case where he's missing the game. If that were to happen, then all bets are off as the 6'7 Sasquatch would see his first action... but again, that ain't happening.

Through 10 weeks, we have the following:

Chiefs 9-0
Broncos 8-1
Chargers 4-5
Raiders 3-6

Three games that matter, but really only one of any real importance as it relates to the race for the Division crown.

Raiders @ Texans
Neither team is really any good right now, but both have the potential to win this game. I'm keeping it easy here and sticking with the home team. Houston has better playmakers across the board, IMO. And, I like what Keenum has been doing. The Raiders look ... well, like the Raiders. I think it could be a fun game to watch, possibly, but the Texans win this one by 10.

Texans 27 / Raiders 17

Chargers @ Dolphins
As I type this, the Dolphins are in all kinds of disarray and preparing to battle the Bucs on MNF. So, no clue as to whether or not they're rolling into this game with a win or a loss.

Either way, I don't think it will matter as I believe the Chargers when this "battle of the coastal teams". San Diego has talent and they can put up points, but their defense is rather lame. I think this could be a good game, but the Chargers win this one after a big letdown at home vs the Broncos. Chargers fans will be teased into another few weeks of "maybe we can get a WC spot" before ultimately being disappointed after their team loses 4 of their final 6 games at the hands of Denver, KC (twice) and the Bengals.

Chargers 30 / Dolphins 17

Broncos vs Chiefs

There's not much more that can be said that isn't already being hotly debated on 72 other threads regarding this epic matchup. The Chiefs stroll into Denver with a perfect 9-0 record coming out of their bye week. The Chiefs are relatively healthy and determined to prove to everyone that they are without a doubt the best team in the land.

The Broncos slipped up against the Colts, and their defense has given up a fair amount of points and yards to every team they've played this season.

Every bit of success that Denver has is directly related to Manning - big shocker and with the ankle issues and the banged up Oline... there is cause for concern. The good news is that while the Chiefs have a nasty defense, their offense is fairly pedestrian.

I noted in another thread that if you were to compare Denver's production at home and KC's production on the road, it's not pretty for KC. In 4 road games, the Chiefs' offense has produced 5 TDs and 11 FGs, while the Defense and Special Teams has accounted for 5 other TDs. That's really good if you're a KC fan, but on the road in Denver... I think Smith and the passing game will have to become a bit more bold and productive, especially if Denver is successful in containing/limiting Charles.

I've thrown out a few random score predictions over the last week, but they all have one thing in common - I believe Denver wins this one by roughly 10 points. Yes, Manning is banged up - the Oline is banged up. The Chiefs defense is crazy nasty and will do all they can to hit Manning early, hard and often.

Can they be successful with this and can their offense put up 20+ points? I think Yes and No... it should be a fun game.

Broncos 34 / Chiefs 23

Good one.

Alex Smith is deceptively mobile. He's going to really frustrate Kevin Vickerson, who will have another meltdown. I'm counting on it.

Sure, about 1/9th responsible.

If there was ever a time for D Bowe to have a breakout game the time is upon us, they will be making a point not to let JC beat them and then the ultimate anomaly that DR ****ing C is their best corner..

so if our offense ever had a chance to match the first half against Cleveland then again the time is NOW

Meh, I like MHM and I think he's pretty decent for a Donk homer. It helps that...let's face it, EVERYONE thinks the Donks are going to win this game. Except the only ones that matter...the Chiefs. It will take us firing on all cylinders on all sides of the ball because in their house, it's just tougher. But, the Chiefs are not a team that panics, and they are not a cocky bunch. They will be prepared for this game.

I never predict scores or outcomes, but I am very confident that the Chiefs can win this game. As MHM has said, it should be a great one and I for one can't wait to see it.

Mile High Mania · 11-11-2013, 07:44 PM

Geez, dinged up and bad weather with the league's greatest 9-0 team of all time coming to town. Dang it!

Now don't get all emotional...

Chiefs will be rested, energized and prepared, while Manning is hobbled. If there were a chance to beat Manning in Denver, it's this week.

It's amazing how big of an impact a single game can make. Look at Dallas' ranking after facing Denver's defense.

At that was after having faced our defense.
