Chiefs VS Seattle

The Kansas City Chiefs (6-4) are clinging to a 1 game lead in the AFC West and a victory against the NFC West leading Seattle Seahawks (5-5) can put a halt to the 4 game road losing streak they currently possess. 

The Chiefs need to win this game - The schedule is not going to change and the Chiefs play 3 of their next 4 on the road.  In order to be a good team you have to win in November and December.  These next 6 games will make or break the Chiefs 2010 season.

Advantage - The Chiefs lead the league in rushing yards per game so statistically they have an advantage every game.  They need to pound on Seattle with Jones then run by them with Charles.  If the Chiefs win the battle in the tranches and control the line of scrimmage they will have a great shot at winning the game.

Mistake free football - The Chiefs lead the NFL with only 7 turnovers all year and they are one of the least penalized teams.  The Oakland game showed us what happens when the Chiefs leave their composure at home.  If they take care of the ball and play smart, penalty free football they'll control the game.

Game clock is crucial - Controlling the ball is a goal of every NFL team.  They want their offense to score, but also to hold the ball and keep the pressure on the other teams defense.  On the road it is crucial to win the game clock battle by running the ball well on offense and forcing 3 and outs on defense.  How the Chiefs defense plays will determine how the offense will attack Seattle.

Prediction - My game ball is going to our running backs.  Jones and Charles will eat up the clock, run for over 200 yards and allow us to leave Qwest Field with a victory.  The Chiefs win the game 27-13.
