The New York Giants (2-5) hit the road in Week 8 to face the Kansas City Chiefs (3-4) at Arrowhead Stadium for Monday Night Football. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET and will be televised on ESPN. Below, we look at the Giants vs. Chiefs odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Giants are coming off their most impressive win of the season, spanking the Carolina Panthers 25-3 as 3-point underdogs. It was especially surprising considering the G-Men had allowed 41.0 PPG in the previous two outings.
The Chiefs failed to score a touchdown last time out as they were dominated 27-3 at Tennessee last Sunday. Kansas City is now 2-4 SU/ATS in the last six since winning against Cleveland in Week 1.

Giants at Chiefs odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Chiefs 38, Giants 20
Money line
The Chiefs (-520) will cost you over five times your potential return, and that’s just way too expensive based upon the way Kansas City has played, especially defensively.
While the Giants are very banged up there’s just no value here.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The CHIEFS -10.5 (-105) probably shouldn’t be laying double-digits to anyone at this point, as they enter the game with a sub-.500 record. However, the Giants are still so very banged up with Barkley and Golladay, two big-time playmakers on offense, still ruled out.
Kansas City’s defense has struggled, but it should be able to shut down the visitors and the offense should gain some much-needed confidence by thrashing a very mediocre New York side.
Over/Under
The OVER 51.5 (-112) is the play in this one. Yes, we have had a couple of Under results in the first two primetime games of the week, but we have an angry Mahomes facing a wounded team. This isn’t going to end well for the Giants, or for Under bettors.
