" 1 UNIT” INTANGIBLE TOTAL (Chiefs at Bears OVER 37 in a 1:00 eastern kickoff): There is a strong chance that newly signed quarterback Kyle Orton will make his debut in a Kansas City uniform as he took 40% of the snaps with the first-team in practice. This is the same Orton who started his career playing in Chicago for four seasons, once leading them to the Super Bowl. His mere presence is a much needed jolt for a Kansas City offense that in the past four weeks combined has produced a grand total of just 25 points. The Chiefs have been riddled by injury this season which has already seen lead quarterback Matt Cassel and running back Jamaal Charles go down for the count. The Chicago attack also is recovering from a major quarterback injury as the keys to the offense has for the moment been handed to Caleb Hanie who tossed 3 interceptions along in the opening half one week ago. However he did gain confidence in the fourth quarter last Sunday completing 10-of-18 passes for 175 yards. Today the strong-armed Hanie will oppose a Kansas City defense ranked way down at #23 in the league surrendering on average 24 points per game. Even though the Chiefs defense put up a brave effort this past Sunday Night against Pittsburgh, the line has created just ONE sack in the past four games combined. My database research indicates that road teams like Kansas City after being held to 14-or-less points in the prior game have played OVER the total (between 35’ and 42 points) at a 65% clip the past five years (98-55). Dating all the way back to the 1992 campaign when Kansas City has been held “below” the number in 3 consecutive games, the Chiefs are a resounding 13-4 OVER the total on the ROAD
