Chiefs at Eagles odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Chiefs 38, Eagles 24
Money line
The Chiefs’ 1-2 start might be one of the biggest surprises to start the season, as they are considered one of the best teams in the league. However, they’ve had troubles on the defensive side as opponents are gaining 430 yards per game.
The Eagles were completely overmatched Monday against a high-powered Dallas team, whose offense is not unlike the Chiefs.
The Chiefs should easily win this game, but with the price on the money line where it is, it’s a PASS. Look to the spread and the total.
Against the spread
The Chiefs have not covered the spread yet this season and were 8-11 ATS last season, including the playoffs, despite making it to the Super Bowl.
Can the Eagles score enough to keep up with the Chiefs? They put up 32 points on the Atlanta Falcons, but couldn’t keep pace with the Cowboys Monday.
The Chiefs should roll in this game. Take the CHIEFS -6.5 (-115).
Over/Under
Two of the Chiefs’ three games went Over the projected total and would be 3-0 O/U if the Chargers hadn’t missed an extra point last week. They are averaging 30.7 points per game but are allowing 31.7.
The Eagles can score but most of their points came in a blowout win, and they are not equipped to get into a shootout.
That said, I’m expecting the Chiefs to score over 30, and the Eagles to score despite not keeping it close.
Take OVER 54.5 (-105).
