Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs enter this game with a 4-0 record and are looking for their first 5-0 start since 2018. Led by Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs’ offense has been effective, with Mahomes completing 68.6 percent of his passes for 904 yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions. Key targets include Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice, who have combined 446 receiving yards and two touchdowns. However, the Chiefs will be without Rice for this matchup, which could impact their passing game.
On the ground, Isiah Pacheco leads the rushing attack with 135 yards and a touchdown, helping the Chiefs average 112.5 rushing yards per game. The Chiefs’ offense can put up points, but they have had close games all season, with each of their wins being decided by seven or fewer points.
Defensively, Kansas City has been solid, allowing only 18 points per game and 326.8 total yards per contest. Linebacker Nick Bolton and defensive tackle Chris Jones have been standout players, combining for 30 tackles and three sacks. The Chiefs have won nine straight games against teams on losing streaks, and they have covered the spread in each of their last five October games against NFC opponents, making them a firm home favorite in this matchup.
New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints come into this matchup with a 2-2 record after losing to the Eagles and Falcons. Their road form has been inconsistent, with five losses in their last eight road games. Quarterback Derek Carr has been efficient, completing 72 percent of his passes for 824 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions.
His primary targets include Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, who have combined for over 500 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Alvin Kamara has also been a significant contributor as a runner and receiver, leading the team with 362 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
The Saints’ rushing attack has been one of their strengths, averaging 147.5 yards per game. However, their defense has also been impressive, allowing just 17.5 points and 330.3 yards per game. Paulson Adebo leads the team with 32 tackles, while Alontae Taylor has 3.5 sacks and Tyrann Mathieu has collected two interceptions. Despite these solid defensive numbers, the Saints have struggled against AFC West opponents, losing their last six games against teams from that division on a winning streak.
Prediction
The Chiefs are strong at home but have yet to win a game by more than seven points this season. With Rashee Rice out and the Saints boasting one of the best-scoring offenses in the league, New Orleans has the potential to exploit Kansas City’s 23rd-ranked pass defense. While coming off two close losses, the Saints are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs, making them a solid bet to cover the spread in this matchup.
Pick: Saints +5.5
