Good afternoon Chiefs fans! Good luck this week!

Good analysis, Em.

To me, the real key is the Chiefs O-Line and Defensive front 7 play being the key to victory.

Last week, the Panthers O-Line did a great job against the Giants Defensive front 7, while the Panthers Defensive front obliterated the Giants O-Line. The Chiefs must repeat this.

Good job Em.

One place where I will disagree is that you said the Chiefs have trouble scoring TDs when they get in the red zone. That was true in the last game, but in the first two games, they scored 5 TDs in 5 trips into the red zone. Right now, for the season they are ranked 15th in the NFL at 54.55%. (source) That's not great, but it isn't too bad either.

Keeping in mind that the Giants are giving up 38.3 points per game which is 5 1/2 points more than the second worst defense in the NFL. I don't think the Chiefs will have too much trouble scoring on them.

Good analysis, Em.

I couldn't agree with you more. The home crowd needs to get loud (hey, that rhymes!) and the Chiefs front 7 needs to put pressure on Eli and force him into bad throws. It shouldn't be too hard to generate turnovers against them and that will put us in a good position to win.

They are going to put a lot of pressure on Alex as well, so he will have to pick up the blitzes and get the ball out quickly to the open man. Hopefully the open man doesn't drop it! I think it will also help a lot if we get the running game going early. Charles did pretty well last week but didn't get many yards in the first half.

Pete Prisco also picked the Giants to win and he's almost always wrong. So I feel pretty good about THAT!

BINGO !! It'll really be helpful if they can spring Charles on a long-distance gallop that has become his trademark and they are overdue for that thus far this season.

BTW, I just double checked an Petey actually DID pick the Chiefs to win 21-17, but he is the only one of the 8 "experts" on CBSSports.com picking the Giants to cover the (4.5 point) spread!

Now, I'm nervous!

You know Roy, I just noticed that your sig reads like one of those foreign scam e-mails.

I think you should reveal the author of that quoted reply.

Nope!

I laughed hysterically when I read that post. I don't know if the writer's auto-correct had gone haywire, or if he was using speech-to-text software, but the end result struck me as really funny. The poster is a long-time respected member of Chiefs Crowd, and I don't want to embarrass him, or make fun of him. I just like the quote.

Keep picking against us you'll learn man, seriously though, solid video Em thanks for the insight.

Great job Em! I'm at odds about the Giants. At the beginning of the season, picked them to win this one, just talent wise think the Chiefs have a ways to go before we're at their level. But the Giants aren't looking like the Giants. Arrowhead could very well be the difference maker.

we need to get on top of these guys early and often. I say we go 4-0
