MONDAY NIGHT GAME OF THE MONTH - 37.4K PROFIT
(NFL) Saints (NO) vs. Chiefs (KC),
Point Spread: -5.00 | -110.00 Chiefs (KC) (Home)
Result: Win
At 8:15pm ET, my MNF Game Of the Month is on Kansas City. The Chiefs have won some close ones and the Saints have won some blowouts. That has some people thinking the Saints are better than they really are and that the Chiefs aren't as good as they really are. Otherwise, this line could easily be -7 or higher. The Chiefs do have some injuries to a couple of key offensive weapons and that's getting a lot of attention. Mahomes still has weapons though and he and Kelce are finally on the same page again. Also, the Saints have their own injury issues that aren't getting talked about nearly so much. New Orleans tight end Taysom Hill, guard Cesar Ruiz, center Shane Lemieux, linebacker Willie Gay Jr. and defensive end Payton Turner were all ruled out and their list is much longer than that. The Saints 2 blowout wins came in the first 2 weeks. Since then, they've had a close win and a close loss. That close loss (to the division rival Falcons) in their last game was a costly one. It was a game they let get away and it will still be replaying in their minds. Off that painful loss and with another division showdown on deck, they are now taking on the world champs while playing their 2nd straight road game. The Chiefs get a bye next week. They beat Miami by 7 before their bye last season and they smashed SF 44-23 before their bye the previous year. The year before was a 10-point win over Dallas. They will be ready to do it again tonight. Lay the points.
