The Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) visit the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) on “Sunday Night Football” to close out the day’s slate of games. Led by MVP favorite Patrick Mahomes (+275), the reigning two-time Super Bowl champion Chiefs hit the road for the first time this season.

Atlanta, meanwhile, is coming off a surprise road game against the Philadelphia Eagles. After a rocky debut with the Falcons, Kirk Cousins ​​​​had a much improved performance in Week 2, completing 20 of 29 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns.

It will come as no surprise that the Chiefs are the favorites, but in their last 19 primetime games they have gone just 6-13 against the spread.

Tyler Fulghum’s Choices

Kyle Pitts 50+ receiving yards (+145). Pitts has gotten off to another slow start. However, this is the matchup that gives him the best chance to break through. The Chiefs have allowed opposing tight ends to catch 25 passes for 275 yards through the first two weeks of the season. Kirk Cousins ​​looked better against the Eagles, leading Atlanta down the field for the game-winning drive with under two minutes left. Atlanta should target Pitts more often in this game, given what Baltimore and Cincinnati’s tight ends have done to this defense thus far.

Patrick Mahomes OVER 0.5 INT. Mahomes has already thrown three interceptions through the first two weeks of the season. With running back Isiah Pacheco on IR, Andy Reid should be even more motivated to drop Mahomes as often as possible. With that expected increase in passing volume, we also get more opportunities for mistakes. The Falcons have very good playmakers in the secondary in AJ Terrell and Jessie Bates III.
