Or how about being Zero for 17 drafting QB's since the NFL and AFL realigned in 1970? Has nothing to do with any type of superstition -- that's simply the way things have gone down -- same as the Giants always giving the Chiefs a rough time in their matchups.
Secondly, the Giants are a team that has underachieved thus far, this season. I don't expect that trend to continue & would not be surprised if they get it turned around shortly. Their D-Line in particular has underachieved, but they still have a lot of talented players there, and the Giants interior D-Line does have the potential to overwhelm and devastate the Chiefs interior O-Line.
Thirdly, Alex Smith hasn't fared too well against the Giants recently and had his worst outing last year against the Giants.
But, if you wish to ignore history as well as any potential red flags, be my guest.
