As Vegas has determined, this should be a low-scoring, close game.  The weather will not be favorable to say the least and I expect this game to stay on the ground.  This obviously bodes well for Jamaal Charles and Marshawn Lynch, as both teams will look to lean on their super-backs in this one.  I don’t expect the passing game to produce much of anything.  Neither Wilson or Smith have been dominant in the air this season, but the advantage for the Chiefs is that they keep the passing game short.  The Seahwaks have been susceptible to allowing teams to kill them in the short passing game.  This is where Alex Smith masters and will need to master in this tough matchup.  

For me, this is one of those home-team-wins the game scenarios for me.  If this battle was in Seattle, I’d say the Seahawks take it.  But this is in KC, the fans will be going nuts, and if the Chiefs can continue to play solid defense, run the ball well, and kill Seattle in the short passing game, Kansas City should come away as voctors in this one.  Seattle really needs to prove something in Arrowhead, to prove that they are still an elite team, but this will be an extremely tough matchup to do so.

CHIEFS 26 – SEAHAWKS 23
