Kansas City Chiefs Betting
The 2008 Kansas City Chiefs have dismantled an aging roster of veterans that will see 13 rookies injecting new blood in 2008. Sportsbooks expect the youth orientated Chiefs to win 6 regular season games. The KC Chiefs had 12 picks in the 2008 draft with 6 picks in the first 3 rounds. The rebuilding Chiefs will have bettors looking to the second half of the season for signs of improvement.

2007 Record: 4-12 (T3rd, AFC West)
Offensive Team Rank: 32nd Rushing, 20th Passing, 31st Scoring
Defensive Team Rank: 5th Rushing, 28th Passing, 14th Scoring
The Kansas City Chiefs were ranked last in rushing offense last year with RB Larry Johnson missing the last 8 games of the year with a foot injury. Chiefs were 31st in scoring last year behind a horrible offensive line and inexperienced QB Brodie Croyle. 1st round pick LT Branden Albert has added some talent to the OL but look for KC to struggle again to score points. KC will rely upon the running game behind Larry Johnson and 3rd round pick Jamaal Charles.
NFL Betting Edge
The Kansas City Chiefs running game will improve this year in a ground control game. The early season under Totals and late season ATS can provide some value. The second half of the season may see KC surprise some teams when their young talent gets some experience.
