The Green Bay Packers (1-1) and Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) wrap up their preseason schedule Thursday. Kickoff from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Packers vs. Chiefs odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Packers picked up the 20-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in their lone preseason game at Lambeau Field last weekend.
Packers QB Jordan Love started and completed 12-of-24 passes for 113 yards, 1 TD and 0 INT, and he should see extensive action in this one, too.
The Chiefs rebounded from a Week 1 loss in Chicago to topple the Washington Commanders 24-14 last weekend at home.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was sharp against Washington, completing 12-of-19 passes for 162 yards, 2 TD and 0 INT, playing a surprising amount for the preseason. Coach Andy Reid indicated this week that Mahomes might play little, or not at all, against the Packers.

Packers at Chiefs picks and predictions
Prediction
Packers 23, Chiefs 16
Money line
The PACKERS (-115) are worth a look in the preseason finale, as Love is likely to see a lion’s share of the offensive snaps with QB Aaron Rodgers likely to sit yet again. Toss in the fact Mahomes is likely to sit for the Chiefs (+100), and the visitors look like quite the play.
Against the spread
The PACKERS -1.5 (-105) will save you a little bit of juice, and is a better value than the money line play unless you are hellbent on this game being decided by just 1 point.

Over/Under
The OVER 35.5 (-112) is the lean here.
Even without Rodgers under center, the Packers offense has been fairly efficient in 2 preseason games, averaging 20.5 PPG.
The Chiefs have hit the Under in each preseason game, and that’s with Mahomes playing a considerable amount of snaps. There is concern here, but the reserves should push this one Over late.
