2017 Week 1 Thursday Night Pick

Kansas City @ New England (-8) -

The Chiefs are known to generate good pressure although 
Brady has been good at avoiding hits

Kansas City was a play or two from playing the New England Patriots in the 2017 AFC Championship.  However, Alex Smith failed to complete a couple of long passes which ultimately caused the Chiefs to lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers.  In this matchup, the Patriots look to take advantage of Alex Smith's weak arm while utilizing a new set of offensive weapons including former New Orleans wideout Brandin Cooks although New England has lost Julian Edelman for the season.  The Chiefs wideouts look a bit worse than last season with Tyreek Hill listed as the #1.  A healthy Gronkowski could make this a tough game for the Chiefs to win on the road.

2016-17 Season: 140-115-7
Straight up(since week 9)- 101-46
