Don't Disrespect the Chief

As of this post, the Kansas City Chiefs are only favored by 7.5 points over the Cleveland Browns.  This is a classic Vegas game.  What possible reason could there be for that small of a spread?  Often this means Vegas knows something you don't.  Maybe the Browns have a much better defense than we think or the Chiefs offense is too vanilla to beat even a slightly above average defense.  To that I say screw it.  This is my NFL pick of the year thus far.  Chiefs minus 7.5.  Here are the reasons:
  • They are the Browns - has anything good ever come from that franchise?
  • Jamaal Charles is the third leading rusher and has the second most TDs for a RB
  • KC's pass defense is one of the best in the NFL
  • KC's rush defense is not that great, but fortunately the Browns are HORRIBLE at running the ball
  • Weeden (CLE QB) is 30th in the league in passing rating and 35th in QBR
  • The Chiefs turnover differential is +11.  Cleveland's is -1
  • The Browns still don't know who is going to start the game at QB.  Not because they are hurt, they are just terrible.
  • CLE averages 11.5 points per game under Weeden
No way the Browns score more than 13 points which means KC only needs 21 at a minimum.  I think they do it easily.  Final score 31-10 Chiefs.

"However, the Browns are no.1 in Fan Middle Fingers."
