Herm Picks the Chiefs to Beat the Broncos

by Joel Thorman on Dec 6, 2009 8:00 AM CST in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

Your ESPN expert Herm Edwards (still sounds strange) has picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Denver Broncos this weekend. His cohort Mark Schlereth picked the Broncos.

In the last three seasons, The Chiefs are 2-4 against the Broncos.

The former Chiefs coach picks the Chiefs and the former Broncos player picks the Broncos. Heh.

Mark Schlereth: "I'm going Broncos right now. Guess what, they found how to run the ball. They know they can turn the clock and move the chains. I'm going Broncos."

Schlereth is a 12 year NFL veteran, now an ESPN analyst. He played six of those seasons for the Broncos. He was there for the major battles in the 90s so his name is not looked upon fondly around here.

Herm: "Yeah, I like them too but here's the problem: It's December, They're 1-17 in Arrowhead in December. And the Chiefs and those fans will take the ball away. I'm going Chiefs."

Herm started his career vs. the Broncos on a poor note losing 9-6 in 2006. He later made up for it and beat them that season. The Broncos embarrassed the Chiefs twice in 2007 and the teams split in 2008.

1 - 17 in arrowhead in December

doesn’t mean anything today. Those were a bunch of different teams with tons of different players and coaches(both teams have rookie head coaches)

Wasn't that one loss

you got to give Herm some credit

For a guy who got fired by the club, he still supports us and doesn’t bad talk the team.

Hey guys, Matt Cassel isn't the problem, being one dimensional is!

Yeah he may not bad mouth the team,

but still cannot give him any credit, sorry.

Good move by the Chiefs org, glad to see LJ gone.

Herm deserves no credit.

Of course he doesn’t bad mouth the Chiefs, he wants to coach again and that would not look very good to other teams.

Earlier in the season he picked the Raiders to beat us(possibly twice).

That right there is enough bad talk.

OMG WHY???? Can't he just leave us alone already??

Now he’s gonna jinx us. You don’t want Herm picking the Chiefs for God sake’s! Why can’t he pick another team and stop mentioning us? We need all the HELP we can get today. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Also – Good Morning AP!!
