Broncos Head to Arrowhead Sitting at 3-0

The Denver Broncos take on rival Kansas City this week at Arrowhead Stadium, a place that you are guaranteed to see a good football game if you show up in Broncos colors.  The Broncos are looking to win consecutive regular season matchups at Arrowhead for the first time since 1976!  Tough to believe but true.

So outside of the fact that these teams have a huge rivalry these clubs have nothing in common.  Denver is off to a solid 3-0 start and knocked off the Chargers, and Raiders in the process which are big divisional wins.  Jay Cutler has looked very much like Superman to me, and if Cutler is Superman I guess that would make Marshall Batman.  These two look pretty much unstoppable up to this point and I have no reason to believe the Chiefs will be able to stop them. 

Kansas City just got thumped by Atlanta…yep Atlanta.  Can anyone see KC winning even a single game at this point?  Larry Johnson did look better last week, Bowe is wonderful, Gonzalez is still very solid, and that is about all these guys have.  Huard will get the start again for KC this week which lets be honest doesn’t scare Champ very much. 

Several people have mentioned to me that perhaps this is a trap game for the Broncos.  Denver like I said is coming off 3 solid wins, 2 against division rivals so it would be very easy to let their guard down against a brutal KC team.  Do I think this will happen?  NOT A CHANCE.  At least it shouldn’t.  What people are forgetting is Denver and KC hate each other.  Besides is it really that hard to get up for a game to put you at 4-0?  The New England Patriots played plenty of “trap” games last year and they didn’t drop the ball.  Perfection is something each team would love to have and while I am not saying I think Denver will go 16-0, the players on the team sure think they are going to go 16-0 at this point and I highly doubt they are going to let the Kansas City Chiefs get in their way. 

My fantasy plays for this week from the Denver Broncos are as followed.

Jay Cutler - Not another QB in the league I would start over him this week.

Brandon Marshall - 2 TD’s and 150 yards I think is a gimmie.

Eddie Royal - Might steal some love from Brandon.  I would make him a borderline play as I think he might get a score.

Michael Pittman - Put at least 1 goalline score for Pitt on the board.

Game Prediction

Denver 41-14
