Kansas City favored by 2

I like the Packers not being favored. It's worked so far. :P

If you take into account the unwritten 3 pt advantage for the home team, GB would be favored by 1.

KC also probably gets a slightly exaggerated HFA as well...they have one of the strongest HFAs in the sport. On a neutral site, I would guess GB is favored by 2-3.

I know, but shhh. I like us appearing to be the underdog.

I'm not sure how the Packers aren't favorted, but who really cares.

This is an interesting site for historical matchup and spread information.

There is not a lot of sample data vs. the Chefs, except that awful game we should have won in 2003. Argh! Payback!

Favre is 0-3 against the Chiefs. K.C. is the only team Favre has not beaten. That will change come Sunday.

I looked up Favre's head to head against the KC Chiefs. Small sampling, but he's O'fer the Chiefs in his career.

1993 at KC Loss 16-23
1996 at KC Loss 20-27
1999 strangely we played 3 of the 4 AFC West teams, but not the Chiefs...Um, OK
2003 Home Loss 34-40 (bad loss as we gave them the game)

If Ty Law can play for having an interception in his scrap book against Favre, then perhpas Favre can play for a win against a team he's never beaten, home or away. Go get 'em Brett and team!

In sports betting the most important football stat is rushing yards. Its equivalent to who the starting pitcher will be in baseball.... It usually determines the winner of a game. I suspect this is why the Packers get no love from the guys setting the lines.

I think it has to do with several factors:

a. Arrowhead is one of the toughest places to win
b. KC is hot right now and playing very well
c. Good team in the AFC vs. good team in the NFC

We'll win this one.

This logic seems outdated... right out of football from the 60's.

Last year, Atlanta, Washington, Tennessee, San Francisco, and Denver all finished in the top 8 in rushing. None of them had a winning record. Minnesota is 2nd and Oakland is 6th in rushing this year, but would anybody make them a favorite over more than 10 teams in the league?

It makes some sense, since teams that run the ball usually are ahead, but it seems strange to me.

I'm thinking beating KC is on Brett's to do list.

[Guiness]

I don't get how they can not be the favorite. They're 6-1 for chrissake! Maybe their wins have been ugly, and it makes people nervous, but they ARE wins

Seattle was an AFC West team in 1999; divisions had 5 teams but NFC vs AFC only were 4 games.

And we all know how successful Favre is when something is on his list...just ask those worried about the ZIP in his arm.
