CLE +13

Over 43

I want CLE to win so as to help the Steelers playoff chances

KANSAS CITY (-12) 33 Cleveland 14

The Chiefs are rolling along after winning their 8th consecutive game last week against the Ravens (7-1 ATS over that span) and now return home for their final two games against the Browns and the Raiders with a good shot at a Wild Card spot. They know that they need to keep winning and that should be incentive enough for the superior team in this match up.

The Chiefs do it all well – they have a very good running game that averages 122 yards per game at 4.8 ypr, an efficient passing game that is +.2 yps better than average and a quarterback that is very good at protecting the ball, a rush defense that is Top 10, and a pass defense that is one of the best in the league (allowing 5.8 yps against teams that average 6.4 yps). They should have no problem against a Browns team that is well below average and nearing terrible in most of those categories. Cleveland is a really bad team and they have now gone 1-7 SU and ATS in their last eight games, being outscored by over 14 points per game and losing by an average of 8.7 points ATS.  

I don’t see a let-down for Kansas City and I expect them to keep rolling here.

Chiefs at home, needing to keep winning. Cleve. doesn't have a lot of answers either side of the ball. I see KC jumping on Clevage early and winning big...... like 37- 10    IMO  --  THE Myth

What sup myth? I'm new here. Kc & over?

Johnny Party will be kissing turf today with a banged up 0 line in front of him.

CLE has allowed at least 30 points in six of seven games
CLE are 29th averaging 18.1 points per game

KC have averaged 29.8 pts and allowed 12.3 while going undefeated since a five-game skid.
KC 2nd in the NFL with a plus-15 turnover differential

KC -13.0

The NE wind@ 24 gusting to 30mph, should affect the passing and special teams. There is no rain in the forecast, temperature will be in mid 30's with 25 degree wind chill.

Could be a low scoring running game, I really need to cover on the Chiefs today.

 Please comment. 

Taking the Chiefs to CTS 9 at home v. the Browns. Browns have been allowing 33.5 average PPG in last 3 games while Chiefs have been averaging 34.  On the opposing side, Chiefs have been allowing at least 14 PPG in last 3 games and Browns have been scoring at least 13.5.  If you take the 38.5 TPPG average away from the 47.5 recent 3 game TPPG average trend, you are left with 9 points as a spread number.  Chiefs are involved in a 3-way tie where this game means nothing to the Browns.  I am sticking with the numbers on this game but I anticipate the Chiefs to cover by a large number like 10+.  

bad weather is better for the chiefs who have a good short passing/screen game

the browns are just too undisiplined, they will let the arrest of a couple of players be the reason why they wont play with effort

Mike Pettine gets fired during halftime, a bottle of gatorade is named interem HC

chiefs win and cover the over by themselves

THE BARBER  207  -  YES, that is my opinion and what I'll be wagering, with a heavier wager on KC  - good luck and welcome aboard!  --   THE Myth

Yeah I agree kc 

Chiefs are going to roll, Steelers will finish with a good record and miss playoff
