The separation is in the preparation.
The Chiefs are not prepared for this game. We've all seen the videos of them trying to contain their laughter when asked what they have seen from Zach Wilson on tape. A team notorious for d*icking around and looking sloppy as big favorites, now off a laughably easy win looks like they have another laughably easy win on paper. And they are acting like it. Way more talk about Taylor Swift for them this week than the pathetic Jets.
Zach Wilson sucks. We all see it. But he seems like a genuinely good guy and I would not be shocked if one or two plays early dramatically swings the team and fan momentum tomorrow. And I get the sense Rodgers returning to the team tomorrow night gives them a boost.
The Chiefs are very good. But they have holes. Remember the narrative oh I don't know, 7 days ago, that their receivers sucked? Guess what, they still suck. A scrimmage against the Bears doesn't change that. The Chiefs are also 30th in pass rush win rate and 29th in run stop win rate. Their defensive line has not played well.
The Jets aren't your typical large home underdog that lacks talent. The defense still has many pro bowlers. I look for a spirited game from them tomorrow and to shut down the sh&tty KC receivers.
Sure, Mahomes has never played in NY and he'll "look to put on a show". Please. This team has played billions of primetime games and big playoff games. They are in NY right now having fun at the club and on broadway not caring one bit about the easy win they have in the bag tomorrow night.
I look for the unprepared Chiefs to get hit in the mouth by a talented, desperate team. One play by Wilson and the stadium and team will erupt.
Jets plus the points is a great bet. Don't be surprised when they win straight up.
