Chiefs kick their way out of the lead

Well, Mr. Irrelevant may have just set a new record.  He may be the first last pick to change the first pick.  The Chiefs accepted their lot in NFL life and got ultra conservative and barely finished any drives leading to 5 Ryan Succup Field Goals.  Not one to be out done in gift giving the Vikings decided to display offensive line play so bad even David Carr went "Damn!".  Without further ado lets see how these events affect the Suck for Luck campaign.

In the driver's seat

Miami Dolphins 0-4


Dolphin fans better get very used to the picture above for the foreseeable future.  Chad Henne was moved to the IR where he will get surgery and serious questions about him ever being a starter on a NFL team again abound.  Losing by only 10 to San Diego itself wasn't that bad, but Brandon Marshall's sudden butter fingers epidemic is.  Getting the number one pick is a perfect storm of bad play, coaching, and injuries.  Miami is quickly piling up all three.

Prediction:  Miami 13,  New York Jets 30

Rounding out the top 5 for Luck

Indianapolis Colts 0-4


These Colts are nothing if not fiesty.  Another close game resulted in another close loss for the Colts keeping them in the hunt for the top pick.  Further more the Colts can cement their position as a prime contender for Luck by rolling over for the Chiefs.  The problem is Manning has been cleared to be on the sidelines and seems motivated by all the Suck for Luck talk to come back and prove this is still his team.  Add to that the fact the defense is fairly salty in Indy.  This game will be huge for both teams as its very winnable for both, neither QB is even remotely good under pressure and both teams will be bringing it. 

Prediction:  Indy 27,  KC 24

Minnesota Vikings 0-4


A handful of years ago my favorite player in the league was Donovan McNabb, what a difference a few years makes.  The Vikings are terribad, bottom line.  The Chiefs voted by most experts as the worst team in the league could only score mostly by FG's and armed with one of the best RB's in the league the Vikings still couldn't win.  Seemingly the only thing standing in the way of pronouncing the Vikings the favorite for winning the top pick is the fact that eventually, at some time, I mean they have to don't they, Christain Ponder will come in to take over for McNabb........right?

Prediction:  Minnesota 14,  Arizona 24

St. Louis Rams 0-4


Rams fans are starting to get restless and even some have begun to question QB Sam Bradford.  Its absolutely silly to do so considering this team is terrible still and Bradford injured, remember Peyton Manning went 3-13 once upon a time.  However, the champs are coming to town next with Dallas after that there is no reason to believe the Rams won't be losers of two more.  The up side is being in the worst division in football means wins are mostly likely coming.

Prediction:  St Louis 17, Green Bay 42

Kansas City Chiefs 1-3


OK, admittedly a valid case for Seattle being here is valid, however this is a Chief's fan's blog and on the more fact based side Seattle is in the worst division in football so wins are more possible for them.  Our hero Matt Cassell came up so huge throwing away the game against San Diego, came out firing on all cylinders after arguing with coach on the sideline and reminding us why they paid him 60 million dollars.  Now they're all nicey nicey in the media, does Matt return as the conquering hero in Indy or back to the lovable loser we know and need?

Prediction:  Kansas City 24,  Indy 27
