NEW ENGLAND at INDIANAPOLIS(4) 43.5

NEW ENGLAND WINS THIS GAME 16-13
KANSAS CITY(7) 48.5 at SAN DIEGO..
there is only one thing i can find to make a case for sd in this one, and that is the underdog in the 2nd game of this series has went 10-2-2 ats the last 14 years.
i love flutie, all he does is win... in actuality he is 1-11 outright in his last 12 regular season starts.
vermiel on the other hand has installed a belief in his team that when you start a road trip, you must get out of the gate fast so to speak.
looking at the chiefs under vermiel's reign again revealed some interesting numbers.
1st, in back to back road games the chiefs have gotten out of the gate fast, going 6-0 ats in the first of the road games with the point total of these games coming in at an average of 57 pts per game.
2nd, kc also enjoys stomping a mudhole in someones ass before they go to play at denver.
they've went 6-0 ats in these games since 1996, dancing on teams to the tune of,49-10,45-13,42-10,37-34,34-24 and 34-16.
an average of 59 points in these games, an average score of 40-17 with an average victory margin of 23 points.
given kc's recent allowance of opponents to put some points on the board,24,24 and 20, coupled with the fact san diego has quite possibly the worst defense in the league allowing less than 24 points only twice in 11 games,(to chicago and cleveland), i can easily see historic trends repeating themselves once again.
KANSAS CITY WINS THIS GAME 42-20
