Kansas City Chiefs vs Houston Texans 2010 NFL Predictions, 2010 NFL Picks & 2010 NFL Odds: The Kansas City Chiefs will attempt to regain their winning ways today as they take on the AFC South's Houston Texans in the Lone Star State. This afternoon's game is scheduled to get underway at 1:00pm ET at Reliant Stadium; it will be televised live on CBS. 2010 NFL Predictions, Picks & Odds at online bookmaker BetUS.com have the Texans listed as a -4 against the spread home favorite and the game total set at 44.5.

Chiefs Breakdown: Kansas City suffered its first loss of the season last weekend, falling 19-9 to the Colts in Indianapolis. Kansas City Chiefs vs Houston Texans 2010 NFL Predictions, Picks & OddsThe setback dropped the Chiefs record to 3-1, leaving them 1.5 games ahead of the rest of the AFC West as the Chargers, Broncos, and Raiders all sit at 2-3 through five games.

KC's defense yielded just 341 yards to the Colts, their lowest total of the season, after holding Indy to 5.5 yards per pass and 3.1 yards per carry. The Chiefs, which rank third in points per game allowed (14.2), frustrated Peyton Manning all day long, forcing the future Hall of Famer into a season worst 65 passer rating.

Unfortunately for Chiefs fans, the offense could not capitalize on the solid defensive showing. Kansas City finished the game with 16 first downs and 261 yards as Matt Cassel completed 16 of his 29 passes for 156 yards.

The Chiefs are 1-1 away from home this year after last Sunday's loss to the Colts. The team's win came in week two at Cleveland, when they won 16-14.

Texans Breakdown: Houston lost for the second time in its last three games last weekend as the Giants came into Reliant Stadium and thrashed the Texans 34-10. Gary Kubiak's offense disappeared in the startling setback as his team produced a pathetic 11 first downs and 195 yards. 

Quarterback Matt Schaub completed 16-of-34 passes for 196 yards and one interceptions while the league's leading rusher, Arian Foster, managed just 25 yards on 11 carries.

Houston's beleaguered pass defense watched the Giants Eli Manning throw for 297 yards and three touchdowns, helping to further solidify the team's 32nd ranking in yards per game allowed. 

The 3-2 Texans, which are still seeking their first playoff appearance, are 0-2 at home since opening the season with a 34-24 victory over the Colts at Reliant Stadium.

NFL Picks Betting Trend: The Chiefs are 5-0 against the spread over the last five years playing as a road team coming off a road loss.
