The Kansas City Chiefs will take part in one of the most fascinating games of the week on NFL Network's "Thursday Night Football," in large part because it will be interesting to see how the emotion of Andy Reid's return to Philadelphia -- where he coached so many of the players still on the Eagles' roster -- will impact everyone.

Here's why I think the Chiefs have a pretty good chance to get to 3-0: The Eagles' defense is awful right now, arguably the worst in the NFL (ranked 30th in yards allowed), and it is particularly terrible against the pass. It seems pretty clear from the first two weeks of action that every Eagles game is likely to be a shootout. They beat the Redskins by jumping all over them early, and then hanging on for dear life. The defense fell apart against the San Diego Chargers, though, and the Eagles lost.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs boast a top-tier defense. If the unit can slow Philly's offensive assault -- especially early -- while Reid unleashes his own aerial attack, the Chiefs certainly could pull out a win on the road. They are a more balanced team than the Eagles.

Ok, maybe this is the first serious match for predictions, after the opening series with 5:0, on the Patriots, and the Bengals. Kansas is in a great series of four consecutive wins, counting the pre-season matches. Philadelphia win over Redskins and lost to San Diego, but in both games his wasn't impressed me. In the last two games Philadelphia has won Kansas, so I think it's time for Kansas, lead by Smit, win.
