Chiefs vs Falcons Prediction
Atlanta comes into this matchup after losing four of their last five games and they have allowed at least 30 points in three of those four losses. The Falcons are 1-4 at home this year, while the Chiefs are 2-2 on the road. Kansas City has won three of their last five games, but they have lost two road games in a row. The Chiefs are dealing with a minor injury to Mahomes, but it sounds like he is going to be fine. I think we are going to see plenty of scoring here, so I like the over in this game.

Positive Trends
As you can see in the trends above, we have zero trends pointing to the over, but I am still going with it here. Atlanta’s defense has been pretty bad this season and they will have a huge task trying to contain the KC passing attack + Kenneth Walker on the ground. On the other side, Atlanta has plenty of weapons and they are at home. Take the over here.
