Imo, watch the **** out for Dallas....
That come from behind win will be rocket fuel to the fire and will even further bond them together
Then again, if the defense doesn't get better, it really doesn't matter how potent the offense is...

Given enough time I do believe that Mike McCarthy is going to prove he was the right pick all along. I truly think that Yesterday's victory gave him and the team a shot of confidence that they were desperately needing>> and they got it

The Chiefs have an absolute "MUST WIN" game ahead of them next Monday night. If the Chiefs beat the Ravens they'll be in the driver's seat>> if they don't they are going to have problems>> I truly believe it's that simple.

It will be played at Baltimore. The Chiefs don't play at ARROWHEAD again until they meet the Pats. I truly hope they let the stadium fill up completely for that game. Because the calls going into the Chiefs radio shows are all wanting ARROWHEAD to be full open again.

Yeah if the Chiefs can get past these upcoming 3 games with no loses I don't see anyone stopping them. But that's a huge "IF">> and we know that the word "IF" is the biggest word in the English language :D

No way will a game be played at full attendance this season. Home field "advantage" certainly isn't as meaningful this season. I do like that there are A LOT less false start, offsides or neutral zone infraction calls this season. No crowd is definitely speeding up the game itself.

Personally I think Dallas is poised to shock the NFC this year. I'm a believer in Mike McCarthy and I believe he is going to turn around the Cowboys. Jason Garrett was never a good head coach and it's just a crying shame it took so long to send him on his way.

But with all that said I do think that Dallas is in good hands now and I believe yesterday's win along with new blood the Cowboys are going to really surprise some people.

I've picked the Saints to win tonight's game but I will admit that I won't be surprised if the Raiders pull this one out. Gruden is working like a mad dog re-building the Raiders team and it honestly makes me nervous that they are in the same division as the Chiefs. I'm still picking the Saints to win tonight's game by at least 5 points.

Next Monday the Chiefs play the Ravens and I don't think the Chiefs have a game that is more important that this upcoming game with the Ravens. It is a MUST WIN for the Chiefs

Will we see the Raiders new home tonight?

* Yes. We will all see the new $1.9 BILLION dollar Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

I can't believe that the Raiders are going to pull this one off. My fears about them being our biggest threat in our division certainly had substance. Anyone beating the Saints is not to be ignored.

There is one Sports writer with ESPN that predicted the Raiders would win the AFC West this year. Well I'm starting to take the Raiders seriously.

The AFC West just got a little more interesting for sure

Yeah the Raiders running game was impressive. If they get a premier QB they will be a problem in the AFC West. Percentage wise I got an even 60% on my picks. I did 56% the week before. The games are getting really harder to predict in the past 3 years. Injuries play such a huge part along with this COVID 19 problem it has really made calling the games a real problem.

the Raiders sure got a nice stadium out there in Vegas. They must have cut Mark Davis one helluva a deal to go out there. I even like that Raiders Stadium better than I do the new Rams/Chargers stadium.

Wow. That was truly impressive by the Raiders
It looked as if New Orleans would route them at first.
