    unfortunately, with this year's schedule, I'd take the under.

    i actually think they'll win 6.

    I think they'll win around 4 again this year. I don't believe their OL is going to be much improved like they think it is.

    Is that the Vegas odds?

    I think they will go 5-11 so I'm going with the under also. I really think they got lucky a few times last year and were worse then their 4-12 record.

    Under. 3 or 4 wins is my guess.

    Also, the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl!

    4 at least, 5 the most.



    Under.

    I think Vegas should put the line at 5 1/2.

    I don't know what the vegas line is, it's my line. I had a hard time with a 6 over under. if you put it at 7, everyone calls under. if you put it at 5, it's still a little tough, but lotsa folks go with the over.

    i agree that much willd epend on the 0-line. I'm still a little ticked that Ccass used a 3rd rounder on Ragone. Right about now, I sure would like to have the best O lineman that was on the board at that time.

    our defense played great last year and it will be hard to repeat that performance. they'll gain in experience and cohesion, but they were lucky with no majori injuries last year.

    our defense was terrible, as it was supposed to be. I think we are substantially improved at all skill positions. the question remains the o line. it has the greatest room for improvement and one big thing about o lines is that you need time for the line to mesh and play as one. We'll see just how good our coaches are. If the o line plays average ball for their talent, we might be ok. I just want average ball. the skill positions should be able to break a few plays per game. I'm trying not to expect much from Johnson, but man, that guy is a freak. I hope he and hollings turn out to be absolute studs.

    I have a feeling it will be over 6...

    I didn't see the scrimmage, but again, it was just a scrimmage...

    I suspect the Offense will make strides and the Defense will keep them in games again...As long as matt stevens is off the field that is...

    Under.

    They'll barely be able to compete talent-wise as it is, and with their depth, if they get hit by the injury bug at all, "it's over".

    I would pick the under.

    I think they overacheived last year, and will probably have the same record this year, BUT will be less painful to watch with the additions on offense.

    7 And 9 with an odd playoff berth.

    Here's hoping. ( As long as the Big Tuna keeps Dallas out, and Emmit does well in AZ, too.)

    I don't think the OL is any better, either. We lose Ryan Young, who wasn't too bad, and add Zach Weigert, who isn't really all that great. The rest of the group are the same old scrubs. I don't see any improvement, either. Joppru may help in some situations, but not on everydown.

    I say we win 4.
