Oren, you are right about the better coach but Minnesota can run with Bennett,Williams, and Culpepper and the reason their secondary doesn't get enought bad pub is because everyone is running on them. Their pass rush is very average and name anyone on that team that can stop Moss if he wants to play.
this is true... I just see K.C.'s offense as too much for Minny to withstand and I'm not impressed with the #1 ranked offense in the NFL. Moss has been making those amazing catches all year long, yes, but weren't they mostly against crappy teams? something's not right when you've got the #1 offense statistically but your team is only 8-6. They've only won 2 out of their last 8 games. Meanwhile KC is rolling along at a steady pace. Look at what happened to Minny in St. Louis, they got absolutely torched by a very similar offense. They've got home field this time around against a weaker defense, but, I just think overall KC is a better team and should win this one by 3 easily.
Oren --
you make some good points, but....
Moss makes good catches against good and bad teams - he has been the best receiver this year - everyone is looking at that non-catch last week as Moss making a half ass effort - but I would argue that it was a bad throw and Moss' body was not in position because the ball was thrown to the wrong side....
Looking at what Minnesota did in St Louis is not a good comparison - because it was a road game ---
and Batman...... there is no such thing as a Sure Win in gambling against the lines.
Saying all of this - I am still undecided in the game, and may go with KC - but right now I am leaning towards a teaser:
Minny +9.5 - Over 47.5

'Lil Randy showed an enormous lack of effort on many plays last week, not just the one that cost them a win. This guy is a drag on this team, I guarantee other players watching his performance have to be saying WTF is he doing? I'll take the team without the leagues biggest primadonna thank you, KC.
