This will be a "stop the bleeding" game for both of these teams. The Arizona Cardinals are 9-3 and are off two straight losses. They host the Kansas City Chiefs who are 7-5 and are also off two straight defeats. This total is set super low for today's NFL. The Arizona defense may be hitting the wall as the offense is struggling, keeping them on the field a lot more than they are accustomed to. They allowed 37 points over a three game stretch, but have since allowed 48 over their last two. The Cardinals are going to have to open up the offense here against Kansas City. The Chiefs are strong on the ground, but Arizona is tough to run on especially at home, and I see Kansas City going to the air frequently in this one. We have seen in the "new" NFL where passing rules, so that when you put together teams from opposing conferences, the ball tends to go in the air a lot. The results over the last three years in inter-conference games has been 116-65-2 to the OVER or better than 65% of all games. And, at Philly and KC, Andy Reid is 66-45 to the OVER in games vs. a winning opponent. Take the OVER here.
