Jacksonville/Kansas City 1:00: The Chiefs' defense has made meaningful strides under DC Crennel. We're going to look for them to put the clamps down on a Jacksonville' offense that had to bring in veteran journeyman QB Todd Bouman on account of injuries to their #1 and #2 guys --Garrard and Trent Edwards. The heavy burden on the run game with Jones Drew should limit their effectiveness as KC will stack the box and force the Jaguars to throw. Offensively, the Chiefs have a very good RB tandem in Charles and Jones to keep the sticks moving and allow Matt Cassel to settle in; after all, the Jaguars' defense allows a generous 5.1 ypc. Technically, Jacksonville, which got thumped last Monday, are 5-12 ATS off a 14+ defeat. The Chiefs, on the other hand, are 7-3 ATS following a SU loss, 5-2-1 ATS in week #7, and they're playing with revenge from last season's narrow defeat. With KC getting back to playing well at home, we'll look for them to deliver.
