Arizona Cardinals @ Kansas City Chiefs NFL Week 11 Predictions

Arizona Cardinals @ Kansas City Chiefs NFL Week 11 Predictions: This doesn’t feel good. I’m not a fan of picking mediocre teams as touchdowns favorites, and shoot, in this one a touchdown won’t even push for me. But I look at the numbers and there’s a big match-up situation that should spell doom for the Cardinals. They are going up against one of the best rushing attacks in football and they are one of the worst run defenses the league has. That’s not good.

Also, the Cardinals finished with more passing and rushing yards than the St. Louis Rams in Week 1 – since then, they haven’t out-rushed or out-gained one single opponent – and they only out-passed the Tampa Bay Bucs. That’s almost impossible, but it’s true. In the last 8 games, Arizona has been out-gained in every game by more than 1100 yards. They’ve been out-rushed in every single game. Opposing offenses do anything they want against the Cardinals secondary – the Seahawks even threw for 300+ and Matt Hasselbeck’s arm almost fell off from over usage.

The Chiefs are solid, they aren’t awesome, and they have lost 4 of their last 6 games – but they should kill the Cardinals defense with their two-headed rushing monster in Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles (not in that order), and go over the top to Bowe if the Cardinals cheat in. More than a touchdown seems ridiculous, but the Cardinals are bad.

Arizona Cardinals @ Kansas City Chiefs (-7.5)
