2006/07 Record: 9-7. Playoff loss to the Colts.
2006/07 Verdict: This was literally the most average team in the NFL last year at both offense and defense (ranking 16th of 32 for both). They played an average schedule, neither too tough nor too soft, but they did manage to squeak into the playoffs where they were summarily dispatched by the Colts. The good news for the Chiefs is that while Huard was starting they went 5-3 both SU and ATS and the backup showed plenty of potential with an 11/1 TD/INT ratio and a passer rating of 98.0 vs Green's 74.1 rating. It was only when they rushed Green back after his severe concussion that the team looked overmatched against good teams.
2007/08 Mycapper.com Prediction: HOLD STEADY
The Chiefs have a few things going for them this season. They enjoy terrific home field advantage, especially from the second month of the season onwards (10-2 ATS over the past two years). They should be better with Huard at QB and they have one of the best running backs in the league. Their schedule is decent with the soft NFC North and two games with the Raiders to look forward to, plus they always seem to cover against the Chargers when they vist Kansas City (7-1-2 in the last 10 ATS). There will be times during the season when this team should be bet on with confidence. However, there are many reasons why they won't make the playoffs this year - but the two that matter are that Denver and San Diego will both be better than them, and that Herm Edwards isn't a great coach. They could easily finish 9-7 again though.
