NEWSLETTER NFL Football Prediction From Vernon Croy
Take ‘Under’ 42.0 Denver at Kansas City (8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 17)
This pick falls into one of my top NFL systems, and I look for this to be a grind out type of game just like my free play on the Vikings/49ers Game Total Under 42 Monday. The O/U is a perfect 0-5 for the Chiefs in their last 5 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game, and the O/U is also 1-5 for the Broncos in their last 6 games after a win. The O/U is 1-7-1 in the last 9 games played between these two teams, and The O/U is 3-14 for the Chiefs in their last 17 games played in week 2 of the season. Look for the Chiefs defense to play lights out this week after giving up 396 total yards last week, and look for Denver’s defense to be just as good as week 1 where they allowed just 13 points to an above-average Ravens offense. Denver had the ball for over 37 minutes against the Ravens but still only put up 19 points total, and although I do expect Denver’s offense to put up bigger numbers this season, it will not happen in this game. Play the Under with confidence Thursday night.
