Craig Glazer: Chiefs Rebuilding Years Start Again Tonight
I'm gonna make you rich in just a few short months. Here's how!!! The Chiefs have a magic number like all NFL teams. Meaning how many regular season games with the Chiefs win. You can bet over the magic number over or under. This year Vegas has them at 8 1/2 wins. That means you must bet they win more or less games than that in the entire regular season. So if you take the OVER, the Chiefs must win 9 games. Under they must only win 8 or less. With their tough schedule, the Chiefs will be happy to win 6 or 7 games. Only several quarterback injuries to guys like Manning or Rivers could get them to 7 or 8 wins. The team has lost 6 key players and replaced them with maybe's and we don't knows thus far. This over under bet is one of the all time best for the bettor. You must fly to a city like Vegas where sports betting is legal to do it. You have til season starts, regular season. All teams have a magic number. Denver, the leagues best is 11. Our division has to play the NFC west, Seattle, Niners, Az and St. Louis all very good teams. The Chiefs will be lucky to win one of those. We also have New England on Monday Night Football, 2 with Denver and 2 with the Chargers. That's a possible 9 losses right there. I think we upset someone and win one or two, but we'd have to win the rest of our games to get to 9 wins. Way more than uphill. While Oakland is again picked to be bad, so are we. You have 2 with the Raiders, you got Jets, Miami, Titans, at Bills...see where this is going?
Chiefs have a 'new O line' to boot. No Brandon Alberts. instead an unproven injury prone Tackle, Eric Fisher. Oh man. Your right guard is a number 6 draft pick with no experience and not looked at as a starter on any other team, we just don't have anyone else. It's a mess. Your secondary is worse. The underperforming Brandon Flowers is gone, replaced by an ever worse Sean Smith, yikes, a second year kid on the other side. Eric the bust Berry at Safety and we don't know for sure who the other guy is....see how this looks. Oh same receivers. That's nice.
The Chiefs did nothing to fix this already shaky team. One that went 2-6 down the stretch. Including the insane loss to Colts in the playoffs. Now we are worse.
John Dorsey's draft found nobody last year. While Reid seemed to help Alex Smith, the defense was again awful with the new leader Bob Sutton. I'd have fired him after the Colts loss.
This is shades of 2011. Remember we had that phony Western Division title in 2010 with a weak sched. The Todd Haley year. Then Pioli decided our 2011 line up was to hard to beat so he tanked the season to rebuild and we barely won a couple games in 2011. I see that here.
The Chiefs are always rebuilding. As the boys on 610 said about the Royals and Chiefs...few want to play here, its not a destination city. Neither the Royals or Chiefs ever really win anything. The Royals don't pay big money to big name players, ever. And they haven't won anything in 30 years. The Chiefs pay when backed against a wall, like this year with aging Charles or two years ago with nearly worthless Bowe. Our two systems don't work, haven't for decades.
Now you are thinking hey the Royals are starting to win. They do have great pitching, no hitting. We know. I just don't think they know how to really win when it matters. They haven't in 30 years. Maybe they will fool me and get the wild car this year.
Our fans deserve much better. We are starved. So go to Vegas or Reno or Atlantic City and make that UNDER 8 1/2 wins bet on Chiefs. You will thank me in January. Some bad news on that one....you don't get paid til regular seasons end. So if the Chiefs are say 5-8 or worse and they will be in December, you gotta wait til seasons end anyways for payment. I know it happened to me. I have gone against them like this 3 times in 6 years they went under each time. I didn't do it last year or in 2010 due to soft line ups against them. This year no way. Enjoy our rebuild season. Starts TONIGHT in preseason.
