Thinking of betting Chiefs-Falcons on Sunday Night Football Here s what you need to know to help your chances
Arshdeep Singh s career-best of 6 for 40 gives India D consolation win
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 will hit the road for the first time this season.
Atlanta, meanwhile, comes in fresh off a road upset of the Philadelphia Eagles. After a rough Falcons debut, Kirk Cousins had a much better performance in Week 2, completing 20 of 29 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns.
The Chiefs, to no one's surprise, are favored but are just 6-13 against the spread in their past 19 prime-time games.

Tyler Fulghum's picks
Kyle Pitts 50+ receiving yards (+145). It has been a slow start for Pitts again. This is the matchup, though, that gives him his best chance of breaking out. 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 winning drive with under two minutes to go. Atlanta should target Pitts often in this game, given what Baltimore and Cincinnati tight ends have done to this defense thus far.
Patrick Mahomes OVER 0.5 INT. Mahomes has already thrown three interceptions in the first two weeks of the season. Now with running back Isiah Pacheco on IR, Andy Reid should be even further incentivized to drop back Mahomes as often as possible. Due to that expected increase in passing volume, we also get more opportunities for a mistake. The Falcons have very good playmakers in the secondary in A.J. Terrell and Jessie Bates III.
