Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos
Sunday, 4:15 pm, Invesco Field at Mile High
The Chiefs may end up starting Will Svitek and Herb Taylor at their offensive tackle spots at Denver, and that's a recipe for disaster for the Chiefs. Yes, the Broncos' run defense was hideous last week, but the Chiefs' offensive line could be in big trouble and make those Broncos look good up front. Kolby Smith slips into low-end No. 2/top-end No. 3 territory unless the Chiefs get their regular offensive tackles back. By the way, Tony Gonzalez's history against the Broncos is awful thanks in part to tight coverage by Champ Bailey. Kansas City's run defense is in just as bad of shape as its offensive line thanks to LB Derrick Johnson away from the team with a family emergency and LB Donnie Edwards hurting. Travis Henry should burn the Chiefs, making life easy for the rest of the Broncos. It might mean minimal passing for Jay Cutler, and thus limited numbers for Brandon Marshall, Brandon Stokley and Javon Walker. Selvin Young, however, might be a sleeper for some garbage-time numbers; think of him in deeper leagues as a No. 3.

couldn't find any updates in local rag sheets for ya. just a huge question at o line for chiefs as you know.if chiefs fall behind that is bad news for running game.
on the other side total posted at 48 for pitt/ne..all the talk about pitt winning outright demands pitt at least post a 24 spot..only way they they do that is to mix up play calling..they are simply not going to run it down n.e. throat..That is preposterious.
If Pitt is smart they copy cat Philly and dink and dunk against aging linebackers of n.e. while mixing in the delayed draw.
There is the real threat of N.E. 'O" exploding at home and if that is the case then Pitt forced to throw.
One plus for Ward is he is coming off a 2 TD game vs Cinc...
Just a shame that Pitt. passing game is as weak as it is..Sure would make your choice a lttle easier.
Best of Luck
