Kansas City Chiefs: Next Five Games Key For Playoff Push
By Ben Almquist
New Orleans Saints
The Kansas City Chiefs first opportunity to make a move comes this weekend against the Saints. New Orleans isn’t a pushover, but they are 2-3 with some ugly losses. The Chiefs are heavy favorites at home in this game, and they should be. The Chiefs push to the playoffs begins at Arrowhead.
The Saints are once again known for their prolific offense. Week after week, New Orleans has put up big numbers against their opponents. However, most of this has occurred at home on the fast track field of The Superdome. On the road, the Saints struggled against the New York Giants. The Giants have a very similar defense to the Chiefs.
On the other side of the ball, the Saints are pretty much useless when it comes to defense. Four different opponents have hung 30+ points against them. The Chiefs aren’t a prolific offense, but they have shown the ability to move the ball and score points. Expect Alex Smith and company to keep rolling off their win against the Raiders.
Chiefs Win: 27-24
