Well my predicted score was a bit off last week but at least I got the winner right this time, yay improvement! I think this week’s prediction looks a little more realistic. Happy Turkeyday everyone!
So far this season the Chiefs have scored 16.9 points per game and allowed 23.9 points per game thus far. The Chiefs opponents have scored 20.6 points and allowed 20.6 points per game on average thus far. If you compare these two sets of numbers you can see that the Chiefs have scored 3.7 fewer points per game than the average and have allowed 3.3 more points per game than the average.
