W, Detroit Lions 25 - Kansas City 20

Vegas is the place. The in-laws are in town and that means a trip to Las Vegas. I'm not a gambler, but I'm betting on the fact that the Lions will be able to win this week's game against Kansas City at home. Although K.C. is having a down year, I would worry if the Lions had to be played their. A sigh of release for the confines of Ford Field.

Unfortunately, when a team doesn't have anything to play for who knows what will happen. And true to form, the Lions struggled mightily. Tony Gonzales ripped up the Lion defense and even though the starting Chief QB was knocked out the back-up came in and (you guessed it) had a career day.

From a sports book I looked on and clutched my seat as the Lions hung on for dear life as the Chiefs outgained them 407-236 and one offensive touchdown by T.J. Duckett and a special teams score to get a victory that was way overdue.
