"Teams are moving the ball at will on the ground (5.9 YPC allowed) and through the air (69.5% completions), and the Giants aren't forcing red zone stops. The Chiefs haven't been sharp offensively, but Mahomes doesn't need to be Superman. Even with his accuracy off early, the Giants' inability to pressure consistently sets him up for a rebound. Add Travis Kelce's matchup against a defense that just allowed nine catches to Jake Ferguson,"
"The Chiefs (+1400) are tied with the Chargers as the fifth choice to win the Super Bowl, trailing the Baltimore Ravens (+500), Buffalo Bills (+500), Green Bay Packers (+550) and Eagles (+700), but the Chargers are favored in the AFC West over the Chiefs (even to +225). Kansas City is a 6.5-point favorite for Sunday's game, with the total sitting at 44.5 points."
"Sunday's Week 3 slate concludes with the Kansas City Chiefs visiting the New York Giants (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC). Few are surprised with the Giants sitting at 0-2, but the Chiefs are also winless following losses to the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles to start the season. The Giants were close to evening their record last week against the Dallas Cowboys, but Brandon Aubrey had other plans. Meanwhile, the Chiefs' defeats have come by six and three points, respectively."
Kansas City and New York enter Week 3 both without wins as the Chiefs visit the 0-2 Giants. The Giants allow the second-most points per game, the most yards per drive, high completion rates, poor red-zone defense, and weak run defense (5.9 YPC allowed). The Chiefs have lost two close games by six and three points and are listed as 6.5-point favorites with a 44.5-point total. Patrick Mahomes is expected to bounce back against a porous Giants pass rush and coverage, while Travis Kelce presents a favorable matchup. Notable props include Mahomes over 229.5 passing yards and Kareem Hunt anytime TD.
