Just straight to the pick this week.
Home team in CAPS:
Chiefs (+3.5) over EAGLES
Here are some things we know so far 2 weeks into the season.
The Eagles can score. The Chiefs can defend. The Eagles can’t defend. The Chiefs can’t move the ball at a
consistent successful rate.
How does this all play out into tonight’s game that features
the return of Andy Reid to Philadelphia? Well, the biggest thing we know is not
only can the Eagles not defend – they have to stay on the field a REMARKABLE
amount of time. It’s great that you can score 30 points on a bad Chargers D in
22 minutes, but it’s meaningless if your D then has to be out on the field for
40+ minutes. And that’s against Phillip Rivers and the Chargers. Now you get to
face Alex Smith who won’t turn the ball over, Jamaal Charles who is a
historically great rusher in yards per attempt, and you have to do this all in
a short week? I have a bad feeling that things are going to turn on Chip Kelly
on the defensive side of the ball real quick.
Last Week: 7-9
This Season: 11-20-1
