That feels like a lifetime ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kansas City has won four of their last five games with a +71 point differential<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During that stretch, the Chiefs rank second in offensive EPA per play and fifth in defensive EPA per play, per RBSDM.com.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Patrick Mahomes has accounted for 14 touchdowns (12 passing, two rushing) and just two turnovers from Week 3 onward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s not unreasonable to think they&#8217;re just getting going with Rashee Rice, KC&#8217;s best offensive playmaker, back in the mix.

Instead, the Commanders are turning to Marcus Mariota, who looked shaky in relief of Daniels against the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect KC to put up a bunch of points against Washington&#8217;s 21st-ranked scoring defence, and can&#8217;t see Mariota keeping pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> The Chiefs have covered this number in all four of their wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:120072\">Embed: #120072<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monday Night Football prop pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pacheco over 50.5 rushing yards (-114):<\/strong> If this game goes as I suspect it will, Pacheco should have plenty of opportunities to rumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth-year back had a really poor start to the season, but is starting to show signs of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Week 6:<\/strong> 12 rushes for 51 yards (4.3 YPC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Week 7:<\/strong> 15 rushes for 57 yards (3.8 YPC)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The efficiency is still lacking, but Pacheco has out-touched veteran Kareem Hunt \u2014 who is averaging 3.9 YPC himself \u2014 by 17 in the last two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out \u2014 Back Pacheco on Monday Night Football<\/strong><\/a><strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pacheco&#8217;s 15 carries in Week 7 marked the most he&#8217;s logged since returning from a leg injury last year.
