I think by now everyone is familiar with the likelihood of an 0-2 team making the playoffs. \u00a0If it is going to happen though the Chiefs are in the right division to do it. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

Kansas City<\/h3>\n
The question is whether they can improve enough to finish something like 9-7 or 8-8 and capture the AFC West. \u00a0It is hard to see especially with this week\u2019s game likely the least winnable of their season to date.<\/p>\n
I thought KC would be improved this year but there is no evidence to date.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs are 5th in total yards after two games but have been outscored by a combined 34 points in the losses. \u00a0Sounds like garbage time stats to me.<\/p>\n

With the way they run the ball they should be able to play from ahead but it hasn\u2019t worked out that way and when they get down Matt Cassel and the receiver crew are not good enough to bring them back.<\/p>\n
The defense was supposed to be better this year and it isn\u2019t. \u00a0Where is Eric Berry?<\/p>\n
This is a huge number considering the Saints are also winless this season. \u00a0Still I don\u2019t see how you can smartly back KC on the road against a team that is perhaps even more desperate than they are.<\/p>\n
KC is losing by double digits in both games this year so the number could have easily been higher and likely would have been if not for the Saints struggles as well.<\/p>\n
New Orleans<\/h3>\n

The script was supposed to be BountyGate – No problem.<\/p>\n
Now the team is sitting at 0-2 with the risk of the season getting totally away from them before the end of September. \u00a0I am as surprised as anyone. \u00a0There was no way I thought they would lose that opener to Washington, under any circumstances.<\/p>\n
If this team has any spine than they will show up on Sunday looking for blood.<\/p>\n
The Saint have been scoring points but their defense has been just pathetic so far. \u00a0They have been shredded by Cam Newton and RGIII – perhaps it was an athletic QB thing (which won\u2019t be an issue this week).<\/p>\n
The question is whether the defense can really get better. \u00a0Some think they are tip-toeing around because of the suspensions et al but I think it is a convenient excuse.<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see how they regroup.<\/p>\n
The Saints are getting too much respect in this one. \u00a0At -9 this has to be the most an 0-2 team has ever been favoured by right?<\/p>\n
If the offense is right than scoring enough points to cover could be a cinch but can they stop them enough to do so as well?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t like the value but I do think the Saints are the smarter play on Sunday.<\/p>\n
