MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ~ HEAVYWEIGHT SHOWDOWN
(NFL) Kansas City vs. LA Rams,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -117.00 Kansas City (Away)
Result: Win
The two highest-scoring teams in the NFL will clash at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Monday night when the 9-1 LA Rams host the also 9-1 Kansas City Chiefs. I'm well happy to take the points on the visitors in what's more than likely to be a shootout.

The 23-year-old KC QB Patrick Mahomes leads an offense that ranks second in the league in scoring at 35.3 points per contest. Mahomes himself leads the league in touchdown passes (31) and passing yards per game.

Note that Saints QB Drew Brees threw for 346 yards and four TDs in a 45-35 win over the Rams two weeks ago and LA gave up 31 points to Seattle just a week ago. Surely Mahomes can put up big numbers against their D as well.

The Rams have been asked to cover way too big numbers lately and have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games while the Chiefs are a solid 8-2 ATS on the season.

8* play on Kansas City Chiefs.
