Week 3 NFL Hot Pick Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs 24 – Philadelphia Eagles 34

Former Coach Andy Reid returns to his old stomping ground, but there will be no cheers from the Philly crowd as their ex-coach face a hostile Eagles defense. This NFC versus West showdown will be a hard fought battle on both fronts, and the Eagles new head Coach Chip Kelly will be bettered prepared to face a coach who knows all of the Eagles prior game plans.

Coach Chip Kelly will have a few tricks up his sleeve to combat the stout Kansas City defense. The offensive play calling of ex-Coach Andy Reid will play in Michael Vick’s favor, as he will use this to his advantage against the 3rd rank defense in the NFL.

This week 3 matchup will be a game that both coaches will place an emphasis on pass protection as well as defensive turnovers. This will be a huge test for the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line – as they face a well disciplined Kansas City Chiefs defense.

This will be a coming out game of sorts for Michael Vick, indeed, a game that may determine a divisional playoff run for Super Bowl 48.

Several syndicated networks and sports analyst predict that Alex Smith will not be able to keep pace with Michael Vick, but my prediction is just the opposite. My Alex Smith prediction is that the veteran QB will help the Chiefs lead in the 2nd and 3rd quarter, which will make it a much closer game predicted by the majority of fantasy sports players.
