Defensive Line

This is a tough match-up, and probably the most difficult one of the week. The Jets have Muhammad Wilkerson locked up to a long-term deal on their d-line. Leonard Williams and Steve McLendon are also apart of that front three.

The Chiefs have one of the best defensive lines in all of football though with Allen Bailey, Jaye Howard, and Dontari Poe. Andy Reid said that Poe might have played his best game in the last two years this past week in Houston, which bodes well for the Chiefs heading into this game.

While this is definitely the most difficult match-up to choose between this week, I’m going with the team I know better, and that’s the Kansas City Chiefs. Hopefully the Jets defensive line doesn’t prove me wrong in this game.

Advantage: Kansas City
