Each week as the NFL games approach I’ll do a complete rundown of every game, from a “pick em” perspective and a fantasy perspective. I will include the current lines for each game as well, however, I am not encouraging anyone to gamble. Lines are always an important factor when it comes to picking winners. I’ll keep a running tab of my winning percentage as well as a fantasy “hits and misses” section after each week. Again, view these picks at your own risk, if you bet on these picks or set your fantasy roster based on these picks that is entirely up to you.

First up is Kansas City @ Miami

Current Line: Kansas City - 1

Current Points: 40

Weather: Partly Cloudy, 82

TV: CBS 1pm EST Nov 12

Gabs Take: Kansas City comes into this game riding a three game winning streak, thanks mostly to super stud Larry Johnson. Miami is coming off a monumental upset of the Chicago Bears. Both teams play streaky defense. The Chiefs offense really seems to be coming into its own. Both teams employ backup quarterbacks. Honestly, I’m thinking this game comes down to Larry Johnson vs. Ronnie Brown. Both quarterbacks will find the going a bit tough in this game, Johnson is going to get a ton of touches. Damon Huard will be solid but not spectacular. The Chiefs playing on the road will make things tougher for them, but I believe they will squeak out a win in a surprisingly tight game.

Final: Kansas City 20 Miami 16

Fantasy Notables:

Kansas City

Damon Huard- 200 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Larry Johnson- 150 combo yards, 1 TD

Tony Gonzales- 75 receiving yards, 1 TD

Sammie Parker, Eddie Kinnison, Dante Hall- If you are starting any of these guys, your season is probably already over.

Miami

Joey Harrington: 225 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT

Ronnie Brown: 115 combo yards

Chris Chambers: 70 yards, 1 TD

That’s my take on this game. I really don’t see a whole lot going on from a fantasy perspective other than Larry Johnson. Disagree with me? Feel free to comment.
