NFL Week 5 Preview, Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs Vs. Indianapolis Colts

When: 1:00 p.m., Sunday, CBS

SB Nation Chiefs: Arrowhead Pride

SB Nation Colts: Stampede Blue

Breakdown: This should actually be a pretty good matchup, which would surprise if you’ve seen these two teams play over the last three years. The Chiefs come in sporting one of the top defenses in the NFL and, as usual, the Colts are among the elite in the NFL on offense. The game will ultimately come down to whether the Chiefs offense can scrounge up some offense and stay in this game.

Player to Watch: Jamaal Charles. The Chiefs will need a big, big game from one of their running backs and in that dome I'm lookin' at Charles. He hasn't been getting the bulk of the carries and he may on Sunday but I do see him having a big game and keeping it competitive.

Line: Colts are eight point favorites.
Prediction: That’s the biggest line of the week. While I do think the Colts win, I see it being a one-score game.
