Texans vs. Chiefs 2013 picks and predictions: Chiefs overwhelming favorites

Everyone (minus one person) on the Internet is picking the Chiefs to win.

Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

There are two remaining unbeaten teams in the NFL, and both hail from the AFC West. Of the Broncos and Chiefs, Kansas City is the more surprising 6-0 team. A strong defense has helped carry an offense that gets enough done to win the game. According to a lot of experts, the Chiefs are looking like a good pick to stay unbeaten through seven weeks.

The Texans have struggled with turnovers, and no team has been better than the Chiefs at making teams pay. Across the board on the SB Nation panel and the folks at CBS Sports, the Chiefs are unanimous winners against the Texans. The Chiefs are almost unanimous over at ESPN, but Adam Schefter must have gotten confused and accidentally submitted the Texans to win.

The oddsmakers agree with everyone except for Schefter. The Chiefs opened as 3-point favorites, but that spread has now increased to 7 points. The Chiefs have been one of the better gambling picks this year, going 5-1 against the spread. The Texans are quite the opposite, sporting an 0-6 record against the spread.
