Gridiron Player Club NFL 1-2 Units (10/7/24)
NFL
1 Pick.
8:15PM: Chiefs -5.5 (2 Units).
The Saints offensive line just continues to take blows. They lost All Pro Tackle Ryan Ramczyk for the year before the season began. They lost their longtime Center Erick McCoy to the IR on September 25th. Guard Cesar Ruiz has been ruled out for the 2nd week in a row. Backup Center Shane Lemieux got injured last week and won't play today. They're set to start Conner McGovern at Center who they just signed off the Jets practice squad on Friday. Guard Lucas Patrick's also questionable after not practicing all week. They're in a very bad way up front and to make matters worse they're without gadget piece Taysom Hill. It's very difficult to see New Orleans having any success running the football against a KC front 7 that ranks 4th allowing just 3.8 YPC. Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo is also a heavy blitzer and Arrowhead's one of the toughest NFL stadiums to go into. They're loud and make it very difficult to communicate. Just a brutal spot for a patchwork offensive line.
