Who Wins?

The Chiefs are 5-1 SU in their last two games played. Kansas City is 2-0 SU on the road this season. The Lions are 2-0-1 SU this season. Detroit is 5-12 SU in their last 17 games as NFL betting underdogs. Head to head, the Chiefs are 4-2 SU in their last six meetings. Kansas City is 2-4 SU in their last six road games against Detroit.

Kansas City is looking like a Super Bowl contender right now. Patrick Mahomes is showing no signs of slowing down and the Chiefs continue to be an offensive powerhouse. The Lions have been a surprise this year but I think they are biting more than they can chew here. The Lions are at home but the Chiefs are winning on the road as well, winning seven out of their last 10 away from home. I’m picking the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Detroit Lions here.
