10* NFL Game of the Week( #1 NFL CAPPER!)
(NFL) Kansas City vs. Pittsburgh,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -110.00 Kansas City (Away)
Result: Loss
KC's QB, Alex Smith, put together a decent game last week versus the Raiders. Smith was 18 of 30 for 297 yards passing and 2 TDs and no INTs. RB Jamaal Charles took a big hit to the head and left the game where he went through a number of concussion tests (he returned but briefly). RB Nile Davis relieved Charles and pulled in a 70-yard TD reception from Smith and also ran for a TD to add to the Chief's scoring. KC dominated this game and made that quite evident when they put up 21 points in 4 minutes and 42 seconds in the 3rd quarter alone. KC's offense, defense, and special teams all looked really good. KC's defense is ranked No. 5 in points allowed on the road at 19.29 per contest. Kansas City is solid on both sides of the football, and the same cannot be said for Pittsburgh. Their defense ranks in the bottom half of the league despite playing some of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Kansas City has been a great road team under Andy Reid, covering the spread in 11 of 15 road games the last two years. KC plays tough on the road and I'll take the 3 points with the Chiefs here on Sunday.
