NFL betting odds makers saw the upstart Chiefs get a cold dose of reality a week ago in their 1st football betting loss of 2010 at Indianapolis. NFL betting worries are expanding about the Houston Texans weak defense as it could be the greatest football betting component in their quest for their 1st ever playoff spot.
Houston will host Kansas City on Sunday with a kickoff time established for 1:05 PM Eastern and a telecast on CBS. The sportsbook opened up with Houston as a 5 point fave and with an over/under of 44.
The Chiefs have got a record of 3-1 both straight up and with the NFL odds after their 19-9 loss at Indianapolis as 7.5 point longshots. The Kansas City Chiefs have fallen under the total in 3 competitions this year. Kansas City was slack and not able to complete drives as they were only 10% on 3rd down conversions against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Kansas City Chiefs rate third in the NFL for rushing but 27th in passing as qb Matt Cassel has a weak 6.1 yards per attempt and has completed only 55% of his passes with a 4/3 touchdown/interception percentage. Jamaal Charles has 325 yards rushing in addition to a 6.5 yards per carry average.
The Kansas City Chiefs defense rates third in the NFL for points permitted under new coordinator Romeo Crennel. Crennel arrives to the Kansas City Chiefs after coaching for the Browns.
The Houston Texans have a record of 3-2 both straight up and with the NFL lines. Houston was lit up by the New york giants a week ago in a negative 34-10 home loss in which Big Blue leaped out to a 21-0 lead. Houston was outgained 414-195 and held to 24 yards on the ground.
The Texans high powered offense rates 6th in the NFL but their defense rates an dismal 31st and is appearing like the dark cloud that is hanging over a post season bid. Qb Matt Schaub has slid in output so far this year with an 86.8 Quarterback rating and a 7/5 TD/INT percentage. Schaub has been the starter since 2007 when the Texans acquired him from the Falcons in exchange for future draft picks. He directed the team to a 9-7 record last year, which was the 1st winning record in team history. This year nonetheless, he hasn’t been throwing the ball as far or as frequently as was formerly wanted.
Arian Foster possesses 562 yards rushing and a 5.9 yards per carry average but worries about reliability are back after the negative competition against the Giants. Foster was an undrafted free agent in 2009 when he was signed to the Texans. He substituted Steve Slaton as the starting running back and smashed many records for the team on opening day of 2010 against the Colts.
Kansas City lacks the offensive firepower to hold up in a shootout with Houston, but if their defense can hold down Houston they might rate a slight chance against the weak Texans defense. Houston won and covered the last NFL betting game in this series in 2007.
