The Pre-Game Thread: Wk.4 @ Chiefs

[wilked]

I know the Pats were 14 point underdogs to the Rams in the Super Bowl (who won that one by the way?)

Have they been 10+ underdogs since under Belichick? I was trying to find the answer but couldn’t come up with it

I think week 1 of 2016 they were 10 point dogs or more. I think the week 17 2009 game they were 7 point dogs.

Edit: nope, 8.5 in week 1 of 2016. So the answer to your question is no.

The most underrated part of Mahomes is his smarts. He’ll accept running the football.

There's an old basketball saying 'he's so quick people don't realize he's smart' Rondo comes to mind.

Interesting.
The line has pushed to -11 following Cam news which aligns with about an 13% chance at a win

will Michel ever have a fully healthy season?

 

[Seels]

What a massive disappointment that Stidham isn't playing this game.

If there was ever an opportunity to see if he has "it," this is it. Even WITH Newton the Pats were big underdogs. Throwing Hoyer out there is practically conceeded the game.

agreed. Not even sure what purpose he has on the team if he can't play in a game like tonight.

 

[Super Nomario]

will Michel ever have a fully healthy season?

He played 16 games last year.

Here are the Chiefs’ inactives tonight vs. New England:
LB Darius Harris
DE Demone Harris
OL Yasir Durant
TE Ricky Seals-Jones
DT Chris Jones

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Stidham is not on the inactive list. Just because he is not starting doesn't mean he won't play.

JE11 will have to wait another day for his moment...or maybe not...

I'd say it's 50/50 throws a pass tonight.

 

[Mugsy’s Walk-Off Bunt]

I'd say it's 50/50 throws a pass tonight.

You were close. Jules was 50/50 in terms of not making unforgivably boneheaded drops on his targets.
