NFL Week 5 Picks: Is Anyone Picking The Kansas City Chiefs?

The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated but that's not keeping oddsmakers and others from picking the Indianapolis Colts this weekend.

In what is really no surprise whatsoever, pretty much everyone is picking the Colts to win this weekend:

  • CBS Sports Pete Prisco: Colts by 16;
  • NESN.com's Michael Hurly: Colts to win;
  • Every ESPN analyst: Colts to win;
  • SI.com's Peter King: Colts to win; and,
  • PFT's Gregg Rosenthal: Colts by 6.
I can't really blame the pundits for taking Indy. It's Peyton Manning, at home, after a loss. But we've also got two great coordinators playing the game after a bye week. Do those two point neutralize each other?

Eh, probably not. This game will come down to how many turnovers the Chiefs can force and how many possessions they give Peyton Manning to score.

Good analysis by Bucky… but he was also picking us to go like 4-12 or 5-11 before the season started.

Anyone who is hoping that the Defensive line

will put their hands up and make a difference is wishing. Peyton is one of the tallest QBs in the game. The only way to make a difference in that regard is to flush him out of the pocket. He can see over just about anybody you can put on the field. Dorsey and TJax will be in the backfield and maybe even Edwards. IF Peyton has to move, we will have an advantage. Peyton is probably one of the least mobile QBS playing the game. He normally just throws it away. If you see Peyton throwing the ball to the sidelines that is good news for the Chiefs.

And yes, I am picking the Chiefs to win. 31-17.

Jamaal Charles at Colts: The Chiefs backfield has been a confusing mess for fantasy leaguers this season, but a matchup against the Colts makes Charles and Thomas Jones attractive in Week 5. Their defense has surrendered an average of over 21 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, so both Chiefs runners have starting value.

I just don’t think the Colts can stop our run and that will open up some big plays downfield in the second half for Cassel and company.

We will have lots of opportunities due to our great field position and the fact that Manning won’t be able to stay on the field. Crennel > Manning.

Any Chance we have been holding back in prep for this upcoming stretch?

I have a sneaking feeling that Studebaker, Hali, DJ, and the defense have something left they have not shown.
The Colts are the start of an important stretch in this season.
I am hoping the coaches have been keeping some things off the tapes in the first three weeks knowing that the league was going to be surprise by our team. The less plays and schemes on tape, the less they have to prepare for as we come up on their schedule.
With the exception of the flea-flicker play, have we done anything that the league would not have on Weis’ offenses already? And remember Crennel and his Patriots team always seemed to look different when they played the Colts in the past decade than any other week. Perhaps we have something in the bag we have yet to show. Or perhaps we have been lucky as hell and what we can do has been good enough.
Either way, safeties have to play well this week and our O-Line needs to establish dominance.

I absolutely think the Chiefs can win this game.

They need to hold the Colts to field goals and gouge them with the running game.

Chiefs beat Colts. It's simple, really.

Usually Manning is in other peoples’ heads with all the arm-flapping, jibberish-jiving going on at the line. But this week our defensive coordinator will have his number, Manning’s former o lineman gives insights, our Tennessee safety will use what the fellow Vol said when he visited his old campus to turn and make the pick, and our former Patriot QB will eagerly take the reigns with his own signature game. In other words…

  • Crennel is grinning
  • Lilja is spilling
  • Berry is spinning
  • Cassel is winning

I have

Chiefs 24-10. These same people that are picking against us prolly are the same ones who said we’d lose to the 49ers. Quite frankly they all can kiss my ass.

my serious prediction

Indy will have a hard time stopping us. We’ll score or set up at least one easy score on special teams , Manning will get 300+ yards but we’ll make them take FGs on at least two drives. KC 27 Indy 23

hi Chiefs fans

Chris’ post is very reminiscent of about 16 similar posts last year over on Stampede Blue. Every week, analysts would point out the flaws in the Colts’ team, and every week they would find a reason to pick the Colts’ opponent to win. And every week, we got angrier and angrier at the lack of respect.

Honestly, if your team continues to win… and you still don’t get the respect you think you deserve… revel in it. Nothing better than a little Schadenfreude.

That said, I’m picking the Colts… but I’m a major homer so I need to ;-)

How can you not love a team who does this?

I loathe Indy...

…more than any team outside the state of Colorado (even more than the Raiders). Most of this latent hatred comes from being from Maryland. I made a bet with a friend of mine that if Indy wins, I’ll wear his Colts jersey (Marvin Harrison, I think) to our bowling league and to watch the games the following week at our local pub. If KC wins, he has to wear a Chiefs jersey to bowl and to the bar. I like of my chances of wearing red next week.

WHere are you in Maryland?

I’m in Bel Air-northern suburb of Baltimore. I thought my son and I were the only sane, uh, I mean, Chiefs fans in the area!

Elkton/Chesapeake City/North East area

Up in Cecil County. There are actually a few of us up this way. I go to place called Bank Shots to watch the games most weeks. It’s right on Rt 40 just over the De line. There’s usually at least one or two other Chiefs fans there each week. It would be a little bit of a hike for you, but if you have nowhere else to be, stop up some time.

rather upset

that still no one gives the Chiefs any credit what so ever. If we can run the ball and put up 200+ rushing Yards and keep Payton off the field, we have a Legit Chance. Manning will obviously pick on our rookie safeties, so This is where Berry needs to Shine. he needs a pick. E. Thomas already has 3 picks. Berry needs to get w/ it. continue getting tackles but get some picks. Flowers hopefully will have another pick. and if Cassel can put up 200+ yards passing we can edge a win. I’m calling upset Chiefs win by 10 pts.

We need to draft Eric Berry, no if's / and's or buts about it!!!!

I feel like the cat who ate the canary.

For the first time ever, I went online and put a bet down with the idiots offering an 8 point spread. I’m backing up my hope for a 5-0 start, which means I’ll be doubling down my winnings from this week on next week’s game in Houston. None so blind as those who will not see…
