New Orleans at KC
(NFL) Saints (NO) vs. Chiefs (KC),
Point Spread: 5.50 | -112.00 Saints (NO) (Away)
Result: Loss
I'm taking the Saints with the points in this matchup on Monday night. The Chiefs offense is down another weapon with Rice out of action, and Kelce hasn't shown he's capable of doing the heavy lifting like he's done in years past. The Saint's offense has struggled over the last two weeks, and I expect them to feature more of Alvin Kamara on Monday night to try and play more ball-control offense. Don't dismiss the Saints' defensive front, which has been putting up good numbers this season and should be able to get after Mahomes since the Chiefs have a limited ground game without Pacheco. It'll be tight, and I like the Saints to cover with the points. Take New Orleans +5.5
