Favre Has Never Beaten the Chiefs (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Tefertiller]

This game may set up well for the Chiefs, coming off of a bye week while the Packers went to Denver and now go to Kansas City. To top things off, for you that love stats, Favre is 0-3 against the Chiefs. They are the only team he has never beaten other than the Packers.

I found the stat in a KC paper. It is interesting for the 4-3 Chiefs facing the 6-1 Packers.

if it were not for COlts-Pats this game might be getting more pub....it certainly is here in KC.

I was at Arrowhead with my dad the last time Favre was in KC in 1996. Derrick Thomas had three sacks and KC battered Favre.

They had this stat during one of the game telecasts last week. Not the Green Bay game, but I think the Colts game because Manning had never beaten the Panthers and Brady had never beaten the Redskins. The only teams in the league each QB (Manning, Brady, Favre) had never beaten before. Manning and Brady cruised to victory. It should be a little tougher for Favre to get the win.

If anyone can do anything its Favre. But that Arrowhead is just ridiculously loud, I remember my brothers saying they couldnt hear each other in the stands. I like for a 24-21 type game.

Brady and Manning had beaten every team but Washington & Carolina prior to last week's games.

BTW, Atlanta beat Green Bay in 1991 when Favre was the 3rd string QB, but he did not appear in the game.

There may not be a tougher venue to go into and get a win than Arrowhead, but this Chiefs team is probably not as good as the others he has faced (11-5, 9-7, 13-3) and those were all close games (decided by a TD or less, the last one in OT).

Also, we all know that Favre has beaten the Packers many times (the guy has thrown 3 or more INTs in a game a whopping 33 times).

Yep, Favre has always struggled against KC and Dallas.

Yep, Favre has always struggled against KC and Dallas.

If you throw out the first meeting, he completed 61% for an average of 291 and twice as many TDs as INTs. Is that a struggle?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

I'm expecting Favre to check this box by the end of the day. He finally has a defense behind him, and now it looks like the ground game is coming around as well. Factor in 3 WRs (Driver, James Jones, Greg Jennings) and Donald Lee and the needle strongly goes toward the Green Bay side.

Arrowhead's a tough place to play, but Denver wasn't a pushover location either.

Just checked yahoo's pick'em and a couple of other gambling sites, looks like 75% of the picks/bets are coming in on the Packers, even though Kansas City is favored by 2 points by the bookies.

Gotta go against the public, Kansas City is the pick right here.

Edited to include this comment: I'm only placing a small wager on them, please don't take this as solid betting advice.

Just an opinion from the "go-against-the-public" school of sports betting.

Aside from Arrowhead, what makes you think this?I can't find many matchups that are favorable.

 

[Slider]

Maybe if he was 0-7 or 0-8 this may mean something. He's 0-3 and playing very good. No way I would go against Favre. I wouldn't bet the game either.

I think I looked at the lines and this one just jumepd out at me. Who in their right minds would set the line at Kansas City by 2.5? That and people are swarming to place bets on the Packers anyways. I don't think Vegas gives out presents. I think there is a very general sports gambling trend that when the home team is getting less than 30% of the bets that they become a marginally profitable play. Some teams that fit this trend today areKansas CityNY JetsBuffaloMinnesotaIndianapolisPhiladelphiaI think on paper all of these teams (other than Philadelphia) aren't given much of a chance. And I am actually staying away from all of them excpet the KC game, since it appears that Larry Johnson is starting to get his act together and KC is starting to have some sort of passing game that the opponents can't just focus on LJ anymore.

 

[Liquid Courage]

I think this game comes down to who's defenesive end disrupts the quarterback the most. Will Jarred Allen be the KC player to sack Favre like the last 3 games. Or this time, will it be Aaron Kampman going up against a not very good right tackle sacking and harrassing Damon Huard. Also, is Huard good enough to pick apart the pretty dang good CBs for Green Bay?

 

[Stingdiddy]

As a Packer fan, I'm worried about this game. Deep down, I think KC is going to win handily. Denver is coming off a big win and a short week...this is also their 2nd consecutive week on the road. Bad news for Packer fans.

He last played there in 1996.

 

[Elway Lives]

The Packers had never won in Denver before last week either. That being said, it is hard to EVER pick against KC when they are at home, regardless of how lopsided the matchup looks on paper.

What is you throw out the second meeting?

I was at the last game Dallas played in GB and the Pack crushed Dallas.

If you just want to look at the last game (which was lost in OT), he went 25 of 36 (69%) for 272 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT. I think it still might be a stretch to call that struggling, but that could just be me.

I meant to say he struggled horribly in Dallas. House of horrors that.

Factors working against GB:

2nd straight road game

in Arrowhead which is always tough, especially if you aren't used to it

short week

Potential emotional let down after the MNF win

5. KC coming off of a bye.I would've put the chance of GB being 6-1 coming into this game at about 2% at the beginning of the year. I'm an optimistic homer, but I would've bet anything they would've been 1-6 before 6-1.Before the season, I figured they would be EXTREMELY lucky to split these two games coming off their bye. That being said, they are finding ways to win.20-17 PACK

This crow doesn't taste as bad as I thought it would.Probably cuz Greg Jennings is saving me in a couple of leagues.
