NFL: Where QB's may become starters, but "Not For Long".

On betus.com sportsbook it's already at +3. How much do you want to wager again?

It will continue to move to about +3.5 IMO.

What scares me about their defense is that they're 3rd in the NFL in sacks, only 1 behind us. Hopefully our O-line steps up. Orton will no doubt get sacked this game - hopefully none of them are strip sacks. LMFAO. I can't stop laughing at that gif. You should just use that as a reply for all chiefs threads.

I remember reading that article at one point. It's a great article and well reasoned. I don't think you can just say "facts are facts" and leave it there. The way that "study" was done is not concrete as it relies on a team's final record at the end of the season and then goes back at the w/l's to determine what a "trap game" actually was. Such a strategy completely removes ebbs/flows and momentum that naturally occur within a season by simply looking at the final product - these ebbs/flows and momentum within a season are the very ESSENCE of what a trap game is. For example: Right now the Chiefs are 5-3. Right now they're an above .500 team. Right now they're a "good" team. According to many, they're fully expected to win this game vs. an "inferior" Bills team. But what if the Chiefs lose vs. the Bills? What if that kills some of their momentum and then going into the seattle game that loss gets compounded by another loss. In a heartbeat the Chiefs are 5-5. What if ultimately the Chiefs finish 7-9 in the season. In that scenario, the Chiefs wouldn't have even been considered in this study as an above .500 team despite the fact that in week 10, they were a "good" team and fully expected to win. The "facts" in that article are highly debatable.

You sir are awesome.

haha..no worries. I don't know, I don't have any hard evidence to back it up but I feel that anecdotally I constantly see teams fail to perform at their optimum level prior to a big match up the following week, especially when they're playing what is perceived to be a weaker team the week prior - hence the term "trap game" which has been around for quite a while. I understand that players prepare and practice for every week, but at the end of the day they're human and not robots. When I played sports in high school and somewhat throughout college, I always knew when our big game was coming up and sometimes that 2% of your body/brain that wasn't 100% focused on this week's matchup was the difference between a victory and a loss - especially in the NFL where the talent is essentially even across the board for the most part. I don't think coaches ever look past an opponent but I really feel sometimes players do.

Wow, forget I ever mentioned anything - tough crowd here today. You're right Klos63 - nobody has calendars anymore. You ever hear the word - "expression"?

I think the strategy described in your first sentence will be most effective.

You're right. Teams never look past an opponent. I'm sure when the schedule came out players circled this game on the calendar. Playing the defending super bowl champions @ home next week is no big deal. You're correct, sorry for that oversight. I have no idea why I thought that game was in NY...my bad on that one.

Break his knee ala Ward vs. Gronk 2013.

lol.. yeah I saw that. Whoever that guy is that came up with that avatar in that thread, he's hilarious.

Any chance the chiefs overlook us with their upcoming game against SEA on the horizon? Possible. This is the Chiefs second consecutive road game. They may be itching to get home.

lmao. that's awesome.

Awesome, I like our chances now. Remember this past sunday when all the "experts" on CBS picked the Jets over the Bills? Every single damn person. What a joke.

Awesome man yeah id be down. Ill pm you this week.

I need ty to have a monster game if i want to win some $$$ on fanduel

I literally laughed out loud.

I havent purchased a Jersey in a really long time. Watkins may change that.

Yeah i thought that comment was absurd. The reason Harvin is highly thought of is bc of his route running. Everyone knows that. Lol

Next Hughes

Agreed w/ both. Foles wasn't exactly tearing it up this year. Sanchez may have a decent shot to take that team to the playoffs.

I think he'll do pretty well also. I'm hoping he tears it up for the Eagles just to rub it in that much more for the Jets and their POS fanbase.

really long thread..haven't gotten through it: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=288040 LMFAO.
