Chiefs vs Falcons Prediction
The current betting odds have the Chiefs listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Chiefs have looked good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall which has them right near the top of the AFC West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 2-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Falcons haven't looked good in their games this season with their 3-6 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC South. They haven't looked good on their home field either with their 1-3 home record this season. The Falcons have been really up and down all season and they aren't going to be in a great situation for this game. They had a terrible start to the season looking like one of the worst teams in the NFL with no QB and then they went on a hot streak with Penix coming back to the lineup, but now they have been having lots of trouble again. They have lost 2 games in a row now and they are coming off a 34-17 loss to the Bengals in Spain in their last one. They made the decision to not take their bye week either, so they are playing the very next week after coming back from Spain and teams haven't done well in that situation. The Chiefs have looked like one of the best teams in the NFL again though and they just bounced back after losing 2 games in a row. They lost to 2 very good teams, but they are coming off a 35-12 win over the Jets in their last one and they are getting another bad team here. The Chiefs have looked a lot better on defense lately as they haven't been giving up a lot of points and their offense has looked better than ever this season with a real rushing attack thanks to Kenneth Walker. Look for the Chiefs to continue rolling here with the Falcons in a bad situation coming back from Spain. The best way to place a bet here is on the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game.
