Kansas City failed to come up trumps against Denver’s Broncos last week, with the game ending in a 31-24 loss for the Chiefs. The match was somewhat of an upset considering all the Chiefs needed to bring into play was a strong running game – something which Jamaal Charles did. However, his pair of fumbles proved to be the openings Denver needed and they managed to claim a touchdown with 27 seconds left of the game. Charles will once again be in the spotlight this week as the Chiefs take on Green Bay, and he’ll need all his gutsy determination to bring this one home for his team.
Kansas City actually rest in 10th position when it comes to their offensive tactics. They’ve only claimed 322 yards so far, giving them a position of 23rd, but the rush yards incorporated into that total arr 120.5, ranking them 12th. The team’s defence have managed to halt their opponents from claiming too many rush yards, and subsequently earned them eighth position in that area. Receptions need to be more on point though, as Travis Kelce has only grasped hold of 10 for 164 yards, and he’s the highest receiver at the moment.
Green Bay have managed to outdo both teams that they’ve faced in the opening weeks of the 2015 season, taking out the Chicago Bears in week one with a 31-23 victory, while finishing off the Seattle Seahawks last week with a 17-27 win. And the second week victory came despite losing decorated running back, Eddie Lacy to an ankle injury in the first quarter. However, starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers propelled the team to success, throwing 25 successful passes of 33 attempts for 249 yards and two touchdowns. These were both well received by Ty Montgomery and Richard Rodgers.
Green Bay have stomped across their competition so far and will need to continue such play against the Chiefs. Their 29 offensive points have given them a sturdy ranking of fifth position, although they’ve only managed to claim 341.5 yards this season so far, giving them a midway position of 16th. Green Bay’s defence is playing a great game lately though in terms of pass yards ceded, only giving up 209. However, they’ve given up 154 rush yards, and subsequently for a 31st positioning for that.

This is an awfully tough spot for the Chiefs to get a win, but keeping this game close is a different story. They got their poor game out of their system last week against the Broncos in a game that they should have won, but finished the game -4 in turnovers in the last minute loss. Green Bay hasn’t faced a pass rush like what they will get from the Chiefs on Monday and we think that will keep them from running away with this. This game should be close throughout so the 7 points hung on the board offers good value on this game.
