Kansas City Chiefs vs Detroit Lions is a game between two teams that lost a combined 13 in a row so to the winner goes some dignity. After last week’s non-effort against the San Diego Chargers the Lions must do some soul searching as they return home to face a beatable team in the Kansas City Chiefs. SBGglobal.com has the Dallas Cowboys as -10.5 football betting favorites. Award winning sports handicapping service EinsteinPicks has a 600% GUARANTEED pick with complete power rating breakdown for the Kansas City Chiefs vs Detroit Lions game. Lions QB Jon Kitna has posted some gaudy stats this season but the numbers don’t reflect his ineffectiveness on 3rd down. If Detroit’s running game falters Kitna can expect to spen a signifigant amount of time on his back against a Chiefs pass-rush led by monster Jared Allen. When the Lions decide to run the ball Kevin Jones and big T.J Duckett have shown talent. The Chiefs are allowing 4.3 yards per carry so establishing the run will be important for the Lions. K.C will also need a strong effort from their RB Kolby Smith who has shown the moves and burst to be an upper-tier player. The Chiefs need to play more of a ball control game with Smith and their defense to avoid getting into a shootout with Detroit. Smith should be able to run against a Detroit run defense that has displayed poor tackling ability all season long. SBGglobal.com has the Detroit Lions as -5 point football betting favorites. Kansas City QB Brodie Croyle has shown he can be effective in the mid-range passing game and the Lions are very vulnerable in that area. Brodie has been very consistent this season and he must avoid turning the ball over to give his team a chance to win. Look for Croyle to look to All-Pro TE Tony Gonzales often because the Lions have yet to prove they have anyone on defense that can cover a tight end. One of these teams has the edge over the other, who is that team? EinsteinPicks insiders have made the most of their NFL connections by hitting 66% of our NFL releases this past month.
