Kc Chiefs U6.5 -165 is this a good bet
The Chiefs come off a 2-14 record worst in franchise history. They have a new GM new Head Coach a new "D" coordinator (and scheme) and a new "O' scheme.
The team---they have a new franchise QB who has looked wretched in camp so far and did not get a vote of confidence from HC Hailey yesterday. Backups are bad. Running Larry Johnson has not looked the same since he had back to back large # of carries in 05-06. Make him run east and west and he can be stopped. Wide outs are slow and old and on the small side excep for DeWayne Bowe who is in Haileys doghouse for lack of effort. "O" line is not a solid unit. LT and Lg Brandon Alberts and Brian Waters are solid (Alberts is young---Waters may be on the down side). Center--RG and RT are not as good.
Defense is a work in progress. They have a new scheme with a new "D" coordinator. At thias point in time they do not have the players to effectivly run this defense. The Chiefs are playing natural "D" ends as linebackers (Tamba Hali and Turk McBride) they have been asked to lose weight as well to play these positions. Linebackers are inexperienced and playing out of position except for free agents Mike Vrabel and Zach Thomas. "D-backs are young but very very solid---they are the strength of the team as a unit.
