This game is going to rely on defense as opposed to offense for the Chiefs. The Chiefs have Brown, Rice and Pacheco all out so Mahomes is running out of weapons to throw to. The team has had to rely on defense to get them by. The Saints have their own issues with injuries, they still have Kamara but he’s playing with an injury too and there are injuries on the offensive line that the Chiefs defense will take advantage of. The Saints have also gotten a few wins relying on their defense holding teams down and they didn’t allow Atlanta to get a TD in that game but it will be much tougher against a better defense. It is a prime time game and the home team usually does well on Monday nights. Kansas City is 5-1-1 against the spread versus Top 10 defenses. The Saints are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 prime time games. Derek Carr is 0-5 ATS in his last five prime-time games, and 0-3 ATS with the Saints.

Best bet: lay the points with Kansas City.
