Summary:
Kansas City comes into the game hot having won six of their last seven games while Atlanta is (4-3) in that stretch. The Falcons easily have the highest scoring offense in the NFL at nearly 33 points per game but they will be facing a Chiefs team that ranks top ten in scoring defense. Nobody forces turnovers better than the Chiefs who have a ridiculous +14 margin. Kansas City has only scored over 20 points once in their last four games meanwhile Atlanta has scored 33 or more points in three of their last four. I think the Chiefs defense can keep Atlanta under 30 but their offense won’t be able to score enough to win this one on the road.
