boston, ma
both kc and oak havent turned the ball over ONCE in L2 games (3 games w/o turning over for KC)

last week

oak forced 1 int vs sea at home LW in SU and ATS 33-3 W

kc also forced 1 int vs buff in game went to OT in a SU W, but ATS L 13-10

2 weeks ago

oak annilihated a very banged up den team, forcing 1 int and 2 fumbles @ den for easy SU and dog cover 59-14

kc flipped the script getting 2 picks and 1 fumble vs an equally banged up jax team playing w/ a backup qb en route to a 42-20 for unquestioned ATS cover

3 weeks ago

oak forced no turnovers @ SF, while giving up 2 ints of their own in a low scoring ATS and SU L 9-17

kc looked to be in control most of game @ HOU, who came alive late and won on last drive of game. Neither team committed a single turnover. Hou wins, though pushed on line (depending yours 4-4'?) 35-31

so far kc no turnover committed L3 weeks, 1 loss. oak gave up 2 picks in their single L.

3 weeks ago

oak took advantage of/forced sloppy play (that plagued SD 2 Wks in a row) in getting 3 fumbles from at home vs SD, 2 when pinned against their own goal line, while committing none of their own in a "turn the corner" game for oak in outright W (and obvious ATS cover)

kc played to win the game. taking chances, though not exploiting a now (not soo much then) suspect indy defense -in indy. kc fumbled once, getting one pick of manning in a hard fought 9-19 SU and ATS L

to not turn the ball over -at all- in that many games (each team) 3 of last 4, is pretty impressive.

suffice to say, team that wins TO battle usually gives self great chance to win.


so then...who wins? :shrug:

do you think KC goes 4 weeks in a row w/o turning it over?

skeds look about close in above listed games

kc: vs buff, vs jax, @ hou, @ indy
oak: vs sea, @ den, @ sf, vs hou

kc has W, L, and T away (1-2 su)

oak has L, L, W, W (3-1 su)

anticipate to's by both teams. neither squad can really play themselves past turnovers to win a game. while good, have yet to prove THAT good. KC will turnover--as should oak.
