Chiefs vs. Falcons predictions
Arizona Republic: Chiefs 24, Falcons 20
Jeremy Cluff writes, “Travis Kelce has just four catches for 39 yards this season and the Chiefs are still 2-0. What happens when he gets going?”
Picks and Parlays: Chiefs 23, Falcons 17
Anthony Allen writes, “Atlanta Quarterback Kirk Cousins is new to this offense and is learning his players and is a work in progress to find out who he can trust in important situations. Kansas City has the much better team and will find some success to out score the Falcons as their defense shuts down the Atlanta’s offensive attack. Kansas City will score just enough to cover the spread in a lower scoring game.”
Dimers: Chiefs 24, Falcons 21
Mac Douglass writes, “Our famous predictive model gives the Chiefs a 63% chance of defeating the Falcons in Week 3 of the NFL season.”
Sports Interaction: Chiefs 24, Falcons 20
Payton Matthews writes, “Kansas City has been a primetime darling since Patrick Mahomes took over as the starting quarterback so this is nothing new for the Chiefs. But it’s a rare second straight standalone game for Atlanta after winning on Monday night in Philadelphia in an upset.”
