Kansas City Chiefs: 3 Bold predictions for Week 7 vs. Denver Broncos
3. Le’Veon Bell leads the team in rushing in his first game as a Chief
At first glance, given the play of Clyde Edwards-Helaire, it would be hard to see this scenario given that Le’Veon Bell is making his debut after struggling for most of the year in New York. In addition, the rookie from LSU was dominant against a Bills front that has gotten a level of respect from the league.

When Bell was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach Mike Tomlin utilized his strengths in both the passing and running game. Given that Andy Reid is now his coach instead of Adam Gase, it would be wise to bet that Bell will produce in some way that is greater than his time with the Jets.
Moreover, the line of the Chiefs, although it has had their way of struggles, is far greater than the Jets protection front. Not that there is a high bar for Kansas City to have to clear there — but it remains the truth.
Plus, there is not enough film on Bell as a member of the Chiefs, so how much can we really expect the Broncos to rely on that unless they wish to use his film from the Steelers which was a couple of years ago.
When they don’t know, they will be surprised. Plus, Bell has something to prove after he has been labeled a disappointment from his time in green. His face is red, as is his jersey. Look out.
