San Francisco 49ers (6-3) @ New Orleans Saints (7-2)
The Niners lost a much needed game last week at home. Carolina kept them out of the end zone for the second time this year. C. Kaepernick, in my mind, has underachieved and been overwhelmed. He needs to get back to his "You can't touch me" attitude that he had last season. If he plays with confidence and SF defense step up, they could win.
The Saints impressed the world and, in my eyes, it was with their defense. They held the Cowboys to less than 200 total yards for the game. Drew Brees also threw for four tds and 392 yards. If no defense can play like it did last week then the Niners, or any other team, won't stand a chance. I like New Orleans at home, but not by much. The Niners need this game badly and they will be playing hard.
My final: New Orleans - 28 San Francisco - 24
Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) @ Denver Broncos (8-1)
The Chiefs are the NFLs only undefeated team left. They've done it by handing the ball to J. Charles and counting on QB Alex Smith to manage the game. They also have the best defense in the league. They love to blitz and that is bad for an opposing QB with a bum ankle.
The Broncos are the league's best offense. Usually a good defense beats a good offense but I wouldn't use that philosophy in this game. The Denver defense is coming together and the offense isn't just good, they are maybe the best ever. My father always told me two things to live by. #1 Always be a man of your word, and #2 Don't bet against Peyton Manning. The Chiefs have won each road game this year by nine points or more but they have not beat a team with more than five wins yet. I believe they will beat the Broncos, but it won't be this week.
My final: Denver - 30 Kansas City - 21
