LOL KC is literally 3rd from the bottom in pass defense...yes unless Hill is going to cover one of our recievers, I like our matchups outside better than thiers.
They have also given up just 300 yards a game and 12 points over the last 3 games. Their defense isnt playing the same way they did early in the season

Big difference right now is we dont have a Frank Clark or a Chris Jones on the defensive line. Chiefs defense has been picking up momentum the last three games, giving up an average of 12 points a game. They are going to treat Dallas a a test. If I am betting my own money, Im not betting against the team that has been to the last two SB's in that scenario


If both teams play to their ability we will win as their defense can not stop ours...they simply dont have the players to cover everyone. I know the uniform says Chiefs but this aint the same team.

We dont either. Dont overestimate the caliber of Brown and Lewis. They are average at best CB's. And Diggs has been giving up yards in chunks lately.

I dont think we will shut them down, But again if both teams play to their ability....they dont have as many options on offense as we do. I'm willing to go player by player on both offenses and hear an argument, I just dont think there is one there.

The Chargers and Bills both beat them at home the the Giants lost to them 17-20 in a game that KC tried NOT to win.

Going to disagree with you there.

Good point.

KC has beaten the NFC Least - Eagles, Giants, W. Football Team, all teams that we mercilessly brutalized except for Washington. They beat a GB team without Aaron Rodgers and a bad rookie QB at that, and a Las Vegas team that just lost its head coach and may be in disarray.

KC has lost to Chargers, Bills, Ravens, Titans.. the cream of the crop in the AFC, and the NFC equivalent of Dallas, Green Bay, Tampa, LA and Arizona.

We are Vegas underdogs, but I also saw (and posted here I believe) one of those gambling math genius analysis charts that show KC has the biggest spread every game this year. They're still getting picked like a team that will go back-to-back-to-back to the Super Bowl.

But it's the National Football Parity League, as we saw with Denver the last 2 weeks, anything can happen. I respect any team that has been there, done that, and no this game will be no joke. I like our odds though.

Two of those games were against the Giants and a Packers team without Rodgers. The other was last night against an ok Raiders offense with an interim HC.

Ya we have more names, but we had more names than the Bronco's. Execution wins more than names do, and given the match up and what we will be trotting out as far as pass rushers, Id bet my money on theirs over ours

Our best wins were against teams just above .500, its not like we have been taking on the cream of the crop this season

KC was playing bad football earlier in the year, and the Offense is dangerous. But Dallas is currently a better football team.

It's not a sure win and this is a hard game but they aren't the Juggernaut they are being made out to be.

The biggest test since the loss in the opener. If you want to be a serious contender you have to beat teams like this, in situations like this.

The Chiefs are rounding into form. The Cowboys just had their wake up call and looked dominant in response.

A true statement game.

Not ifs, ands or buts. Who wins this game Sunday?
Maholmes throws interceptions. Dak does not. Cowboys win. Malik Hooker finally makes a play. In case you’re wondering, it’s a pick six.

The difference is the Cowboys decimate crappy teams, beat good teams and have laid only a single stinker. Even in their other loss they looked like they belonged.

KC's defense finally 'awoke' against bargain barrel offenses and it's being used as a reason to believe they are a sleeping giant.

So what your saying is as long as we dont play like crap we should win....your hanging your argument on the last 3 games they played....who were the teams and QB's they did that to? Your welcome to do what you want with your money...but what you cant do is keep saying they have better weapons than we do, because its simply not true. Their rushing defense is also bottom 10...

I think their defense is fools gold the last couple of weeks. They beat the NYG, who aren't exactly the greatest show on turf and rank 24th in points scored, they beat a Rodgers-less GB team and a Raiders team that has had so many distractions this year that it was only a matter of time before their wheels fell off. They were completely dismantled by the Titans and Bills just a few weeks ago. They have been shredded on the ground all year long and I think that is our key to winning. Zeke and Pollard need to feast against KC. If Dallas runs the ball effectively, they control TOP and keep Mahomes and co on the sidelines. I think this game has the makings of a track meet where the team with the ball at the end wins. Dallas 35-31

this is going to be a high scoring game. their defense is not that good, so they are going to come out firing, knowing they have to score a lot to win this game. I seriously doubt we are going to come out flat like we did against Denver. but Hill is good and so is Kelce....this is #1 and #2 offenses. we have had some trouble against mobile QBs and Mahomes will run around and buy time and he likes to throw down field. by no means an easy game, but probably a lot of scores, perhaps one of those games that the last team with the ball wins. Diggs, Brown, Lewis and the safties better come to play next week.
