kc line way off??
- Thread starter MrSports

I don't know, what would you set the line at? I don't think I'd say it's way off. It was 10? and got knocked down to 9? early, so somebody likes Clev.
KC's last 3 home games they were favored by 5? over Buf, 3 over Den, 3? over Pitt. They did cover easily against Buff and Pitt. But I'm not so sure Clev is any worse than those two teams.
Gets pretty tough to keep on pasting everyone week after week too. Now expectations are that they'll kill every opponent.
I don't know, personally I don't like betting games much either way (fav or dog) once the spread hits double digits. The objective for the team isn't to cover, they just want the win. Screwy things can happen with big spreads.

browns off a bye and are one of the stronger road teams in the league (cant win to save their lives at home, but perform very well on the road for some reason)
browns 8-4 SU on the road the last 2 seasons.
holcomb really scorched this kc defense last season as well, albeit in the opener.
i really mean this. i can see the browns winning straight up this week and then coming home to cleveland and losing vs arizona next sunday. its been that way under butch davis. no consistency whatsoever, and lots of unexpected road wins followed by puzzling losses.

Cleveland has not forgot the loss at KC last year when that jackass Rudd took his helmet off. Cleveland should have won that game. Chiefs are much better this year, but i'll take the points in this one!!
well i was thinking more like anywhere from 14-17 points, maybe its just me giving kc too much credit. i could see a blow out here, clev just doesnt have offense to hang.
you expected the line to be 14-17 points?
do you know what it takes for an nfl line to get into the 14 to 17 point range? that happens about once every couple of years that a line gets near 17.

With K.C. only at 4-4 ats after a bye when favored, and Clev. being 0-1 ater a bye recently as a dog, and with K.C. having to go to Cinn. who's having a decent year ( for their standards )and then hosting the RAIDERS, THEIR NEMESIS, it would appear that Clev + the points may be the way.
For the Chiefs, the pressure will begin to build weekly if they continue to win.
The 1 thing that I will take into consideration is that when Vermiel was with the Rams, that Superbowl team kept winning and winning!--- IS this that same type of team :shrug:

I won't touch this game, but if you want to lay that many points, you may be better off taking the Giants...Atlanta can't seem to do much of anything.
dolphins layed 14.5 opening game, last year eagles layed 21 to someone, there always games every year that are 14-17 points....its not unbeleivably common, but it sure does happen....trust me
mr sport:
both of your references involve an expansion team (miami laying to houston this year and philly to houston last year)
(just to be specific, dolphins were 13 pt favs, and philly 18.5/19)

gman i just pulled the lines off the top of my head, i couldnt remember for sure. the texans will beat the browns, no doubt about that. they are only effective if holcomb qb's. couch blows!
do u know who is starting qb?

Don't mean to butt into your thread,but I feel very strongly that Cleve +10 and under the 43- are the play in this game and am on both with fervor.GL either way.
your not butting into anything, always appreciate what other cappers have to say whether i agree or not. i will prob not bet the game this week, but i will circle the browns in my weekly pool that i run. Thanks
I'M FROM KC AND BELIEVE ME, THEY ARE READY TO GO AND THEY WILL AIR IT OUT A BIT AND WIN THIS GAME BY 30. I'M SAYING 38-10. CLEV HAS NO OFFENSE AND KC IS WAY BETTER THEN PEOPLE MIGHT THINK. IT'S NOT LUCK, IT'S PLAYERS MAKING PLAYS. AND IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO ARROWHEAD STADIUM, YOU WOULD SEE THAT THAT PLACE ALONE IS WORTH 7 POINTS, WHICH MAKES CHIEFS A 3 POINT FAV. JUST MY TWO CENTS, BUT I SEE CLEV LAYING DOWN IN THIS HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AND KC CRUSING.
This is a dangerous game to play IMHO like two weeks ago I asked WHY ........ WHY would INDY be motavated to blow out Houston and they won but didn't cover the big number.
Again this week I as WHY ........ WHY would the KC team be motovated to blow out (and hold a 18 plus point winning game margin) laying 9.5 or more requires this margin late in the 4th to avoid the back door cover by CLV.
Now I for one respect greatly the Arrowhead home field advantage but can't lay 9.5 to 10 plus vs anyone in this league.
Look-aheads especially vs a non-division team do happen.
The Chiefs travel to Cincy next week and play the hated Raiders back at home the following week.
Will my money be on the team that wears the helmet to the left of this post? Nope not against this Chiefs team. PASS !

If Browns could run the ball, I would take a shot but Green is out and hard seeing the Browns controlling the clock.
Chiefs only interested in winning. I have had to many 17 point leads in last two minutes become 10 point leads when the prevent rears it's ugly head.
Also had to many kneel downs on the five yard line with a ten point lead to lay the 11.
Love my Chiefs but going to let them be this week.
