Sky Sports, 9.15pm
I’ve been ripping Tebow all season, so I can hardly stop
now.
He was horrible last week and now the Chiefs, who have some
real talent on the defensive side of the ball, arrive toting the Broncos'
season starter and subsequent reject Kyle Orton, and a coach keen to take the
Kansas job permanently.
Most tellingly though, are the troubles for Denver on
defense. The loss of Brian Dawkins was bad enough, but the pass rush has
started to falter and with Quinton Carter out now too, the Broncos will be
starting two reserve safeties. They have struggled against the run and I expect
Romeo Crennel to be creative attacking the Broncos front with Thomas Jones and
Dexter McCluster in order to get Orton into position to ram it down the throat
of the team that cut him a few weeks ago.
Tebow struggled against the Bills, who play man coverage,
and the bad news is that the Chiefs play that same coverage, although they play
it rather better. Tim will have to look for big plays, and that’s what got him
into trouble against Buffalo.
I’ll take the points, with revenge in the thin air at Mile
High.
Pick: Chiefs +2.5 @ 1.91; -110; 10/11
Pick: 1st TD Thomas Jones @ 9.0; 800; 8/1
Pick: Anytime TD Tim Tebow @ 2.00; 100; Evens
