Monday Night Football predictions

[Sylvanfan]

I'll take the Ravens to clobber my Chiefs 27-7. The Chiefs offence and defence both play horribly. Priest Holmes does manage to get a touchdown to satisfy Fantasy GM's to a certain extent. Kyle Boller and the normally inept Ravens offence expose KC's lack of a pass rush, and inability to stop the run proving the Chiefs are the worst team in the AFC right now.

I would take the Ravens by a long shot on a normal day. But I seriously think this is the week that the Cheifs show up. They will give the Ravens a good battle. That being said, I say the Ravens will pick up the 'W'.

[Calgary Flames]

31-24 Chiefs

Give me your best guess as to what the final score will be?

[troutman]

27 - 13 for Kansas City.

[flambers]

24 - 10 (Ravens)

[habernac]

Baltimore 20 KC 13

Someone told me Priest Holmes is not dressing tonight so any chances of the Chiefs winning are done.

[Fobulous]

I'd say

24-14 for the ravens

[Super-Rye]

Ravens 21
Cheifs 17

Aaah, he'll still find a way to score a touchdown even if he's not dressed. Seriously he's the only guy on the Chiefs offence who hasn't played well below expectations this year. If he doesn't dress K.C. will get shut out and you can carve it in stone.

Lewis gets 2 TD's.

(Or at least that's what I need to remain undefeated in my fantasy football pool.)

[JiriHrdina]

Ravens 21-17. Chiefs lead for the majority of the game. Green puts the ball on the turf with about 5 minutes left in the game and the chiefs up 17-14. The Ravens drive for the winning score but the Chiefs still have 2 minutes left to try to answer. Green throws a pick on a 4th and 4 situation to end it.

[AaronSJ]

Chiefs 28, Ravens 24. It's Monday Night... strange things happen. Kansas City isn't an 0-4 team.

[Displaced Flames fan]

31-13 KC.

Priest Holmes goes OFF. Jamal Lewis is going to jail.

I'd like to point out that I'm 11-2 going into this game.

I was pretty darn close!! Correctly guessed Baltimore's score and nearly nailed The Chiefs score.

[Sylvanfan]

Well so long as the Chief offence can control the ball for 40+ minutes a game and not turn it over, than they don't look half bad (although the defence still can't stop the run). That stupid punter has to go though as he was far and away the worst player on the field last night. If only Trent Green hadn't thrown that stupid interception against Houston last week. Than the Chiefs would be 2-2 and still have a shot at the division and playoffs. Did anyone else think Lewis looked pathetic sucking for breath on the side lines after 12 carries while Holmes had carried the ball 30 times and didn't look half as tired. Than again Holmes wasn't running over the entire defence like Lewis was. I couldn't help but think that man looks like he needs another hit.

This is the winner right here. Good call.

[troutman]

The score totally flattered the Ravens. They did nothing on offence outside of three fuke touchdowns. One on a trick play, one on a punt return, and one on a terrible pass interference call. KC dominated with a huge edge in time of possession and yardage.

I'm annoyed how much hype and face-time is given to Ray Lewis. How many times did MNF replay his stupid bird dance when he came out on the field? Get the feeling all his comments while miked were scripted?

It was funny to hear him talking trash on the field, and then cry like a baby on the bench about being double-teamed, and that it was "impossible" for him to do anything.

EDIT: Further rant; Anyone else sick of that drunken yahoo Hank Williams Jr. opening every game with that annoying theme song?

the Los Angeles Times ranked the "Bottom Ten" lowlights from two decades of Monday Night Football. The "grating theme song ... howled by Hank Williams Jr." was No. 10 — in its rookie year.
