Point Spread: 7.00 | -123.00 Kansas City (Away)
Result: Loss
The Kansas City Chiefs will be eager to get back on the field, with a chance to put last week's nightmare behind them. A fumble in the final minute allowed Denver to score the game winning touchdown on Thursday night, in a game the Chiefs had dominated until the fourth quarter. They face a tough opponent in Green Bay, but I think this Chiefs team will make things interesting at Lambeau.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Chiefs Pass Rush - Kansas City can really get after the quarterback, and they proved that last week with three sacks on Peyton Manning. They have eight sacks in their first two games of the season, three of those from Justin Houston. This Chiefs defense is likely to cause all sorts of problems for the Packers struggling offensive line.
2. Previous History - The last time these teams met, Aaron Rodgers completed just 17-of-35 passes for 235 yards and a TD in a 19-14 loss at Arrowhead. He was sacked four times for a loss of 22 yards in that game.
3. X-Factor - The Packers are banged up, with RB Eddie Lacy and WR Davante Adams listed as questionable, and OL Bryan Bulaga out for six weeks with a knee injury.
Selection: This is a play on the Kansas City Chiefs (10*)
