Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs,
8:25 p.m., TV: CBS/NFLN, LINE: Chiefs -3, O/U: 42.5:
Last week was a bit of a shock seeing Manning struggle. A lot of off season reports stated his arm was strong and he looked great. Well, Sunday, not so much. Reports of no zip being on the ball, ducks being thrown and the deep ball lacking posses questions about Denver’s passing game. The league is now turning to a shorter passing game, screens and slot receivers are the ones making more catches for more yards. Does this help Manning through this year, with Sanders, yes. The defense looked good at least, keeping them in the game last week but the offense sputtered and it scares people. The Chiefs on the other hand looked amazing and against Yet the wide receivers are still without a TD. Andy Reid will use Kelce to disrupt the Broncos secondary, creating huge mismatches. My pick: Chiefs 27-20.
