Kansas
City Chiefs 2015 Preview w/ Win Total Bet
By: Jonathan Young (Follow me on Twitter @JonoYoungP4P)
The
Kansas City Chiefs are 20-12 over the last 2 seasons and come into the 2015 campaign
with an extra offensive weapon in Jeremy Maclin with a strong emphasis of
throwing the football. Maclin provides the deep threat they need, not to
mention speed.
Andy
Reid prides himself on his teams playing solid defense, evidenced by ranking
top-five in points against in the last two years. The defense did see a
big drop in turnovers created in 2014, however that was partly due to the fact
that team leader Eric Berry missed 10 games last season after being diagnosed
with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. But Berry is now fully recovered and is ready to
lead a Chief secondary that hopes to play up to the level of
the team’s dominant pass rush.
KC’s
special teams are rock solid as well including speedy return men as well as the
best punter in the NFL. Kansas City managed 9 wins last year without ever
throwing a TD to a wide receiver. Look for them to contend for the AFC West
Crown and be a playoff team in 2015 behind the more than capable Alex Smith at
QB.
When
looking at all 3 aspects of NFL teams (Offense, Defense & Special Teams),
the Chiefs are among the top 5 in both Defense and Special Teams and with the
addition of Maclin at WR, the Chiefs should be able to spread the field to
allow Jamal Charles to get some good running lanes.
