Jets vs. Chiefs 

The Kansas City Chiefs have won 4 of their last 5 games and are on a roll.  The New York jets have lost seven straight and are struggling mightily.  Geno Smith has been benched and Michael Vick will make his first start at quarterback for the Jets.

And while that move might help bring some consistency on offense for the Jets, it won’t help them win this game.  Quarterback play is not a problem for the Chiefs as Alex Smith is having a very good season, and it seems that running back Jamaal Charles is putting things together.

The Chiefs defense is ranked 3rd in the NFL, and while the Jets defense is still good, the Chiefs are playing too well right now and will get the win.   NFL Picks
