Where: Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City Missouri.
Televised: NFL Network

Odds: The Kansas City Chiefs enter the game as 3 points favorites, while the total has been set at 40.5.

This is a game that I feel would make a good regular season game, but we will just have to settle for watching it in the preseason.

The Seattle Seahawks are the favorites to win the NFC West again this year and with good reason. Sure they lost DC Dan Quinn, but still this defense will be solid once again. On offense they have added a big piece in Jimmy Graham, who has been Drew Brees’ favorite target the last few years. Yes this is still one of the best teams in the NFL, but they will be down just a touch from last year, while both Arizona and St Louis are improving on a yearly basis. In their opening game they loss 22-20 to the Broncos at home. The Seahawks were thoroughly outplayed in the game as the Broncos outgained them by 175 yards. Wilson only played 1 series and was just 1-1 for 12 yards. Overall in the game the Seahawks had a mere 181 yards of total offense.

The Kansas City Chiefs are also an improving team and they actually have a shot at taking down the Broncos in the West, as Denver is a team that looks to be on the decline some. The defense for this team was their strength last year, but it did struggle down the stretch as injuries started to take their toll. This year they are healthier on defense, have upgraded their offense with the addition of WR Maclin and in the 3^rd year of Reid’s system. This could be a dangerous team in the AFC this year. In their preseason opener they took on Arizona and fell behind 10-0, before outscoring the Cardinals 34-9 the rest of the way to win 34-19. Chase Daniel had a big game as he hit 17 of 21 passes for 189 yards with 3 TDs and 0 Ints. Alex Smith hit 6 of 10 passes for just 42 yards and he had 1 INT as well.

This game should be interesting as they Chiefs really played over their heads on the road in game one, while the Seahawks were outplayed at home by Denver. I know that the line has moved in favor of the Chiefs, but I have to feel that Pete Carroll is not happy about last week’s performance and he will have his team ready for this game. I can’t see them playing any worse than they did vs Denver and I can’t see Chase Daniels having the big game he did vs an Seattle defense that will be really fired up. The Seahawks are deeper and should be more motivated for this one and that is a good combination, especially for a team that is getting points

Take Seattle +3 in this one.
