When the Miami Dolphins played the Denver Broncos in Week 3, they ran the ball for 350 backyards and scored 70 points. When the Kansas City Chiefs played those verysame Broncos Sunday, they were held to a season-low 9 points.
It was difficult to anticipate any group to reproduce what Miami was able to do, however the degree of Kansas City’s hasahardtime may be a indication of a bigger problem. The Chiefs have scored 30 points simply twotimes this season, making this the veryfirst time in the Patrick Mahomes age the defense looks substantially muchbetter than the offense.

I’m sure this line is merely accounting for home-field benefit in a videogame including 2 non-playoff groups, however that hasn’t implied much for New England this season. It won’t here either.

This mostlikely has something to do with Matthew Stafford’s hand injury and the unpredictability around his status for this week, however if Stafford ends up playing, this line will show to be method off.
I understand I questioned if the Rams were any great after their mostcurrent loss to Dallas, however I’m not allset to state at complete health they’re a evenworse group than the Packers. Green Bay is down bad, and if the Stafford plays, the Rams are going to win this videogame. Sean McVay may discover a method to schem
