Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs visit the Atlanta Falcons for the third edition of Sunday Night Football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Chiefs -3 (-120)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides have strong defensive units, so let’s start by analyzing the quarterbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahomes led the Chiefs to wins in the first two weeks, completing 71.7% of his passes for 442 yards and three touchdowns. He has thrown three interceptions but that rate should slow down as the season progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chiefs lost running back Isiah Pacheco to the injured reserve last week but Carson Steele has looked like a formidable backup option in this scheme and KC’s offence should still be efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Atlanta, Cousins had a strong game against the Eagles, leading the Falcons to a 22-21 comeback win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philly gets a lot of hype but it has lost six of its last eight games and I think the Chiefs are a much stronger side \u2014 especially on defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagles allowed the third most passing yards per game (255.7) last season while the Chiefs held opponents to the fourth-fewest (185.8). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kansas City needed to deal with Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow and did so successfully and I expect a bit of a step down in quality with Cousins, who’s still not 100% from his injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta’s defence is very strong too, but I’m confident Mahomes can be more efficient moving the ball downfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> The Chiefs have covered this spread in eight of their last 10 regular season wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
