Andy, Alex & what Las Vegas thinks.

"I'm telling you if Alex Smith keeps playing like this the Chiefs are going to get to the Super Bowl. If you don't believe me just take a look at what Las Vegas is saying. They started the season 22-1 and up in most places around town. They're six to one, maybe seven, in most spots as of week five. They are right there with Belicheater & the Steelers as favorites to win it all." I was chatting with my friend Keith today about KC's chances of making it to the Super Bowl - "I like it more than any other time I have been watching them play in my lifetime and that is a long time my friend," I add with more vigor.

Keith is a Raider fan and thus doesn't know what to think about things this season, but not me, I am feeling really good about our chances this year, and Alex Smith is just a part of it - "Lots of ways to get you," I say with even more vigor, "Home run hitters everywhere on offense and Alex is delivering it to them." He asks about the defense - "They can make enough plays to get by as long as the offense is playing like it is now. It all rides on how well the QB1 spot is playing. That's what it boils down to in the NFL!" - My friend Roy has been giving me the KC can't win a Super Bowl with Alex Smith spiel since the day they signed him. I refuse to believe it anymore.

"Look, I'm tired of hearing KC can't win a Super Bowl with Alex Smith as quarterback, and I am sure he is tired of hearing it as well. Everyone knows that this is probably his last year in town, so he's decided to play all out for a big contract somewhere else next year. I really think Andy has got it all worked out as well. All the backs and receivers are young and ready for prime time." Keith then mentions something that means a lot out in Vegas - "They have been some covering machines this year. 5-0 against the spread. Did you throw down on them in last nights game?" - I shake my head and say - "No, I need to practice what I preach, I know that. But money is tight for the village idiot right now. But, I'll definitely be ready to rock-n-roll on the Steeler's game." He asks what the line is - "Andy and the gang opened up as three point favorites in most places around town. I really think the offense scores enough points to get it done and the defense will make a few plays. Just like what has been happening all year."

I have an idea I have to share - I'm thinking about putting a little money on KC this weekend. Does anyone else like to do things like that? If so, let me know and I can tell you about some exciting things.
