AFC West NFL Week 14 Pick:
This game is a total wild card because of the injury to Matt Cassel. Brodie Croyle hasn’t played since Week 13 of last year and while everyone expects him to struggle against one of the top defenses in the league, he does have enough talent in order to give KC a fighting chance. That said, we don’t think the value is in the side – we think its’ in the total. The over is 4-0 in the Chiefs’ last four road games and 7-2-1 in the Chargers’ last 10 games in December. Both of these teams have a decent defense but both offenses have proven to strike for big plays. Dwayne Bowe (save for last week against the Broncos when he was held catchless) and Jamaal Charles have been nearly unstoppable of late and you know Philip Rivers will produce a couple of long gains. Our pick is the over 46.5.
