Sunday's Chances of Victory

[DaFace]

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.

[MMXcalibur]

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...

[FlaChief58]

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!"

[JD10367]

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.

[CaliforniaChief]

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.

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

[Reaper16]

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.

[chiefsnorth]

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

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

[DaneMcCloud]

60%.

This is a tough game to predict because we really don't know what this Chiefs team is all about. Can they sustain long drives? Can the defense shut down the run? Will the special teams continue to dominate? Is Cassel capable of putting up decent numbers in a win (i.e., 250 yards, 2 TD's and an INT)?

I think the Chiefs have a better than 50% chance to win but it's going to take several weeks before we really know how this team will match up from week to week.

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.

[The Franchise]

70% if Delhomme plays.

60% if Wallace plays.

Coin flip.
