Minnesota is the most surprising of the group of teams that is currently 0-3. \u00a0Not because they are any good but because in all three of their games they held double digit leads only to give them up over the course of the second half and lose – most recently to Detroit in overtime. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Minnesota Vikings vs Kansas City Chiefs Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0To me the losses are not the surprise, the surprise is that they led so significantly in these games in the first place.<\/p>\n To say that Minnesota is desperate is an understatement. \u00a02011 is already a lost season but if they lose this week, to the consensus worst team in the league, the feeling around the team will change – the coach might too. \u00a0Minnesota should be able to exploit Kansas City in the running game using Adrian Peterson. \u00a0He has been effective all season but they seem to be unable to keep him going for a whole game.<\/p>\n The Vikings have won three of their last four against Kansas City, most recently in 2009. \u00a0They are 3-0-1 in those contest with the lone SU loss and ATS push on a visit to Arrowhead in 2007. \u00a0That stadium is one of the better home field advantages in the league but given the state of the home team some of that advantage may be negated.<\/p>\n Kansas City<\/strong><\/p>\n Lots of people thought last year\u2019s division winning season was a mirage but nobody predicted this kind of regression. \u00a0 [soliloquy id=”82219″] <\/p>\n The Chiefs have easily been the worst team in the NFL after three games and with injuries mounting as well there is little reason to expect a rebound over the course of the season. \u00a0We are not necessarily talking epic fail but they might be lucky to reach half of last season\u2019s win total.<\/p>\n It may be simplistic but it is easy to see why the Chiefs are struggling…they can\u2019t score – just 9ppg. \u00a0The cause of this is poor play at QB from Matt Cassel, who has yet to have a game where he has thrown for more than 176 yards or didn\u2019t turn the ball over. \u00a0He is not the only one to blame as losing last year\u2019s top rusher Jamaal Charles for the season is not helping matters. \u00a0Last year\u2019s leading rushing team is down about 50 yards per game in that category from a year ago and not coming close to making it up through the air.<\/p>\n At least the Chiefs put up a fight last week at San Diego. \u00a0Now that they are returning home their might be some hope that they attempt to salvage their pride this season. \u00a0Since this game has them as the slight underdog you can see just what Vegas thinks of these guys. \u00a0My opinion is a little bit higher, although not much.<\/p>\n ATS Pick: \u00a0Kansas City +1 The CappersPicks.com NFL football weekly predictions pages!
