I rank the Chiefs a top three or four AFC team!
Wow, I was dead wrong about them early on. Chiefs coach Andy Reid is a genius..so far. The league’s top Defense, best rushing team in the NFL and QB Alex Smith is a 3rd down monster with his legs.
Justin Houston is Chiefs first defensive star since DT!!!!
So yes, I was wrong.
The Chiefs have given up ZERO rushing touchdowns. Best Chiefs team since the 13-3 1997 loser to Denver’s Broncos in the playoffs under Marty.
I was wrong.
This is the story of the year if it holds up in the NFL.The Chiefs in the playoffs can beat ANYONE.
With a road win at Sand Diego and the upset of the Pats – the Chiefs best two regular season wins in almost two decades – it’s a true coaching miracle. I’m shocked. I will lose my under bet. Chiefs win at least 10! Wow.
As for college football, Missouri is just ok – up and down – and will lose to an improved Kentucky team. K-State will win over OSU and is in shape to win the Big 12. Even Kansas is improved but has no shot against Baylor.
Look for an upset with Arizona taking down USC.
It’s a crazy year in football, but it always is. Enjoy!
Now on to the picks:
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
GEORGIA -10 OVER FLORIDA
KY +8 over MU
Arizona + 6.5 over UCLA
PRO FOOTBALL
CHIEFS -9.6 OVER JETS
SEATTLE -8 OVER RAIDERS TEASE WITH ARIZONA + 9 over DALLAS
And now, ‘Point / ‘Counterpoint’, with your humble x2 hosts, Glaze and Kerouac
“I rank the Chiefs a top three or four AFC team!”
– even though there are 8 AFC teams with a better W/L record & two more who have the same record as KCindy? To each their own opinions, denary be damned…
“Wow, I was dead wrong about them early on.”
– stick around… you’ll be vindicated again by seasons end, which is coming up for KC in just 9 more weeks, when they fail make post season (despite the fact the NFL has bent over backwards recent years, shoehorn in every team they can manage to via an over-expanded, watered-down post season morass, mess.)
“Chiefs coach Andy Reid is a genius..so far.”
– that qualifier at the end – priceless, and spoken like a true sufferer – a Chiefs fan since 1970…
“The league’s top Defense”
– 3rd overall, 4th in sacks, 18th vs the rush, 31st in scoring, 1st vs the pass (must be a typo), 2nd in scoring & 1st in fewest tds allowed, 23rd in interceptions, 14th in forced fumbles and 31st in recovered fumbles same… alas, smoke & mirrors aside, 4-3 and 3rd place the AFC West be final arbiter…
“best rushing team in the NFL”
– actually the Chiefs rank no higher than 3rd, but then, who’s counting and who cares – we’re the Kansas City Chiefs, and (nod theCurtis-Mathes tv commercials the 1960’s) – ‘the most patient pro sports fandom in America (1970 & 1985 Royals) – and darn well worth it!’
“and QB Alex Smith is a 3rd down monster with his legs.”
– if but a 1st and 2nd down Tebow without an arm… reminds of the old Jackie Mason comedy routine, 1960’s, two boxers – ‘I hit him with my famous 1-5 1-5 combination. Unfortunately, in between he was hitting me with 2, 3 and 4’.
“Justin Houston is Chiefs first defensive star since DT!!!!”
– aside from Jared Allen coming to mind for Kerouac before Houston, according others like the Bleacher Report (which ranked no Chiefs 4-3 outside linebacker in their top 35 before the 2014 season began, while another ranked Hali # 5 & Houston # 4), opinions vary subjectively depending on source, would appear; big fish an little pond sometimes tends skew.
“So yes, I was wrong.”
– liked you better when you weren’t a ‘right’ kool-aid drinker there, CG… oh well, at least we all can agree on the Royals here in Kansas City – “missed it by thaaaaaaaaat much!”
NY JETS 493
@CHIEFS 8
🙂
“Arizona + 6.5 over USC”
now – that’s a LOCK !
…..since Arizona ALREADY beat USC 28-26,
…three weeks ago.
Sorry UCLA.
Uh boy…….
College picks….ouch!
wow, zero for 3.
Could you even pick these if you tried?
At about 25% for the year.
no glaze is hitting rock bottom according to our stats and following
his pick.
a blind chimp throwing darts could do better.
glaze…please don’t put any money on our mu tigers. You are
a jinx galore.
thanks…

They are way better than I ever thought they would be. I don’t know about 10 wins, but it is a really competent, lunch pail team.
Faceplant on the college games.
I don’t study this stuff, Guy but…
Looking at those college scores this year – boy – what a wild, unpredictable ride.
I don’t see how even the bookies are living to tell the story this year.
About the only constant is KU!
Seems like if you just went opposite of Glaze you would be doing damn well this year, Hearne. Keep making excuses for the guy, though.
To be fair, I wouldn’t have thought in a million years Florida would put that type of ass kicking on Georgia. But then again, that’s a big rivalry game, and those are generally unpredictable. I would’ve stayed away totally.
A 3 year old child picking teams based on her favorite color would have a better winning % than this sports “expert.”
Seattle didn’t beat the spread in your tease, so that makes you 1-4 on these picks, right?
