Week 1 - Let's talk about the Lions
Looks like the Chiefs are 6.5 point favorites according to Vegas.
How do you see this one playing out? |
the Lions are my second fav team, but I'll be rooting my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
|
Holy God, thank you.
Forget the spread. KC has been terrible about covering for the last couple years. Plus, the Chiefs only managed 6 double-digit Ws in 2022. Take out those games, and the average margin of victory for KC was about 3 points. IIrc, DET is going to be missing a few players that would've been possible difference makers, i think due to injury? of course, we'll be missing CJ. Possibly Toney. Depends on how much he practices next week and how well, I'd imagine. i think the game will be a lot closer than it should be, due to CJ's absence. Not just because of his pass-rushing either. He's become the best run-stuffer on the DL as well, and DET likes to run the ball. That should narrow the margin somewhat for DET. And we can't forget that DET won 8 of their last 10 in 2022, in large part due to their defense coming together. And their offense is credible. Goff can play the position, and while not elite, he can stand and deliver passes anywhere on the field, if not harassed too much. It helps that he has a nice array of WRs to throw to, and a solid RB corps to take some of the heat off of him. However, it's Week 1, and I expect DET to come out a bit rusty. Chiefs usually come out pretty good in the opener, so I expect the Chief to win, though by 3-4, not 7. |
The Lions could be tough this year. It will all depend on if Goff improves or if he becomes Goof again. They have a lot of talent on offense so it will be a good test of our defense without Jones (most likely).
I think this offense will move the ball and score well against their defense although I am intrigued to see how our new Ts match up against Hutchinson. If there was one team I would love to see win it all if KC doesn't it would be the Lions. That fanbase has suffered more than almost any other. |

Feels like the opener against the Cards... fake hype after the Lions *checks notes* beat two 9-win playoff teams and the looked-like-a-9-win-team Vikings.
|
The last time the chiefs faced goff he went for 500

It’ll come down to the wire like always.
It’ll be something like 24-28, Detroit has the ball with 1:26 left and 1 timeout. Chiefs get a turnover to seal the game. |

Weird. I literally just looked at their roster on ESPN and TJ was on there. But you're right; I remember TJ going to MIN last year. My bad. |

Cum will be everywhere. |
It’s going to be a boat race, the Lions are going to put up points on this defense without Jones. Chiefs can light up their defense even more though, so we should pull it out.
Going to be a fun one to start the year. |
**** THEM
|
Celebrating the SB win in prime time, and this time with a full and rowdy house…
I think the Chiefs dominate Detroit like they did Houston in the 2020 kick off special. |

Now, if you want to say Sam Laporta could be every bit the player Hockenson was, I'm on board with that. He's going to be very, very good. I'm really glad Jameson Williams isn't playing. I hope they haven't figured out how to utilize Gibbs yet. Andy Reid is really, really good when he has time to gameplan for teams like this. Goff can be rattled and Spags is going to have to get awfully creative without Chris Jones being a normal part of the DL. It could be tough. It's so impossible to know. |

Well, I guess if you want to.:hmmm: The point is that KC doesn't regularly blow other teams out. Hasn't been a thing for a couple three years now. It happens here and there, but there's no real consistency about it. And when they don't blow teams out, the games tend to be pretty close. Nothing in between really. If there was, I'd have a lot more $$$ in my sportsbook acct right now . . . |
Will all 7 WRs dress on Sunday? Will all see the field? How will it play out?
|
Hello - Love KC in this one!
|

Hmm. I'm all out of magic 8-balls . . . |
Absolutely love the Lions but Mahomes pulls this one out, I expect MVS and Skyy to have a huge game along with Kelce. Our defense will get ran through like Swiss cheese and it’s gonna be a shootout. Goff vs Mahomes 2!! I predict 41-45 Chiefs
|
Chiefs win a close one. 69-0

I think should every team except the KC Chiefs should kill themselves

I really, really, really wanted Gibbs to fall to us, he would have been a perfect fit. I hope Bolton is on point .

The Lions have such a good line and it’s going to test Spags’ scheme changes with the front 7 minus Jones. Gibbs and Montgomery could really challenge the Chiefs but you hope they’re very diversely skilled linebackers can lock them down. I’m really curious if Reid will call a ball control type offense or if they’ll try to put up 35+ a game. Jones missing could impact things in so many ways. |

Um, then there wouldn't be a league. So, no Super bowls. sounds very boring. |

I'm not sure who's going to be the bigger disappointment this year....The Lions, The Jets or Chris Jones?!?!?!

Should be a good game Lions catching us at an interesting time with injuries and hold outs.

I actually hope it's a good competitive game. Always had a little soft spot for DET since they drafted Barry.
Also, it's the first game of the season. It would be nice if it was exciting. Even a little nerve-wracking. |

Andy Reid vs Dan Campbell… anytime… but especially week one… is a coaching mismatch to put it mildly.

Chiefs won "only 6 games by double digits" You mean like HALF? |

The Lions still have a terrible defense.
I see a 38-27ish type game that's close for awhile until the Chiefs lay down the law in the 4th. We're not letting the banner drop be tarnished. |

Yeah, so I did some research, and KC played a full regular season slate in 2022 (I knew it!!!!), which is 17 games, not 12. So 6 games out of 17 games . . . carry the 1 . . . that's not half (50%), but actually 35% (6/17). But my post was with gambling and the spread in mind, so I was really thinking about the reg season plus playoffs, which, as I stated, is really 20 games played in 2022. Was pretty sure about that one, since I bet on nearly every game last year. Now, in doing that research I found that I missed the SEA game, so it wasn't 6 games, but 7 games KC won by double-digits. But that's still just 35%, when considering every actual game played, 20. So, no, not HALF. Hope that clear.:) |
Barry Sanders isn’t running through that door.
|
CHIEFS 90 DETROIT 0 Let the fun begin.
|
This is going to be our toughest game to date on the season.
The Lions are coming in undefeated and we haven't won a game. Hope we can hang with 'em and make it interesting in the 4th quarter. |
Interesting. I don't see where the CJ news has moved the line.

I needed this thread

We are superior at damn near every position.
Our offense has a chance to put the league on notice with close to a 50 point opening performance and I can see the defense giving up half that to their offense. |

With no Omenihu or Jones Goff should have time to throw. I expect our secondary to play well regardless. I'm looking forward to seeing Felix and George on the field at the same time.
The offense shouldn't have any trouble breaking 30 points. Skyy didn't get much work in Preseason. We need him to find his groove. It's his time now. Going to be a lot of fun BANNER!!! |

Anyway, I think The Lions are probably going to be a playoff team. It's a worthy opponent
|
I feel like more and more there is a wider spread between old school coaches who put on a well run camp and those who don’t. Maybe Campbell runs a good offseason but his team has opened the season poorly since he’s been coach. Since mahomes took over we’ve won the opening game by 10+ all but one season (where we won by 2 vs the browns) and a few like last year were an embarrassing display of catching an unprepared team off guard. our early season preparation is always going to be a huge pro for us.

And our WR corps >>> theirs. |
These arent your daddy's Lions.
Hope the Chiefs don't take them lightly. Its the home opener so hopefully they're jacked up for it. |
Quote:
Prime regression candidate. Late season momentum rarely carries over. |
Quote:
As for WR corps, are you sure? I can say with certainty that I feel better with Mahomes throwing to our WRs versus Goff throwing to his, but I'm not sure our WRs in isolation ex-Mahomes are clearly better (especially if we're talking about an up-to-speed Jameson Williams whom we happily get to avoid). |
Aidan Hutchinson is gonna test our new tackles early. If he can't get consistent pressure on Patrick it's game over. It's as simple as that.
Their OL could pummel our DL which could keep them in the game. |
Quote:
People are sleeping on them due to lack of past production. “ The Chiefs had the best offense last season, and it wasn’t close. They ranked first in expected points added per drive, and the difference between them and the second-ranked Eagles was the same as the difference between the Eagles and the 16th-ranked Packers.” |
We will blow them out as we always do in the first game. Average margin of victory in the first game with Mahomes is 13 with only one game where we won by less than 10 points.
