JFC I don't ever remember anyone getting a +10 grade for ONE game in pass rushing. But that's the grade Demarcus Ware was given for yesterday's performance with his 7 pressures, three QB hits, and one sack. [Reply]
Baltimore's OL was considered the best in the league going into yesterdays game.
I'll tell you who wasn't impressed with the Broncos: Vegas. Before the games on Sunday, Broncos were a 1.5 point favorite for our game Thursday night. Now the Chiefs are a 3 point favorite.

Unless I'm wrong (which happens once in awhile) the line naover to try and create action from both sides...which means that line moved that much because people were betting a lot on KC. [Reply]

Correct. Well, that's what Vegas claims. The spread is to generate an even amount of money on both sides of the line. The point spread isn't even necessarily what the odds makers think the team will win by, it is what the oddsmakers think the public thinks the team will win by. So, if you have a team with fans who like to bet lots of money on their team every week they take that into account as well. [Reply]
Every once in a while it's 3.5 to 4. Definitely not the Chiefs in Arrowhead, though. They are somewhat average to sub-par at home.
As I've always said, it's a divisional game and anything can happen - records often don't matter. Recent history says otherwise, but I think everyone believes the division is tighter this year for one of half a dozen reasons. It should be a close game. A KC win wouldn't surprise me... depends on how well the offense prepares for Denver's defense, it's going to be an old school slobber knocker. [Reply]

Ugh. I don't know if I can sit through another game like Denver vs. Baltimore. [Reply]
