My only reason for this was because of how horribad Detroit's run defense has been and how good KC's can be. Then I remembered Andy Reid and immediately regretted my decision. The points were the right play here. I may try to hedge by taking Detroit ML.

Giants on the road, I think that one's a bit risky too. The Giants seem to have a team policy where they don't like playing two good games in a row. They've been murdered their last couple visits to New Orleans.

I read a couple of years ago that a really good way to pick games was to check the games a team has played against their opponent's divisional rivals. I can't remember the reasoning behind it, but I've employed it a few times with pretty good success. The Saints barely beat a Brandon Weeden-led Cowboys team, and got smoked by the Eagles (who are bad). The Giants should be able to keep it within a field goal if they don't totally implode, which they have a tendency to do.
