Chiefs vs. Falcons: Updated Odds, Money Line, Spread, Props to Watch for SNF

The Kansas City Chiefs will once again be in the national spotlight on Sunday night.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co.

head to Atlanta for Sunday's Week 3 finale.

They will make the trip without injured running back Isiah Pacheco.

The Kansas City rushing attack does not look strong at all on paper, which is the opposite of how the Atlanta Falcons look with Bijan Robinson in their backfield.

Atlanta owns the edge in the ground game, but it is at a disadvantage through the air with Kirk Cousins going up against Mahomes.

The Falcons moved the ball well in their Monday night win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but some of that success can be attributed to poor secondary play from the NFC East side.

A strong case could be made that Sunday's game means more to Atlanta because it does not get a shot at the Chiefs often and a win would set it up well for a vital three-game stretch against divisional foes.

Spread: Kansas City (-3) Over/Under: 46.5 Money Line: Kansas City (-166; bet $166 to win $100); Atlanta (+140; bet $100 to win $140) Both the Chiefs and Falcons enter Sunday with 1-1 records against the spread.

Kansas City is one of six teams with a 2-0 record to the over early in the 2024 season.

Atlanta is 2-0 to the under.

Atlanta cashed as an outright underdog in Week 2 against the Eagles thanks to a fourth-quarter comeback led by Kirk Cousins.

The win brought Cousins' infamous primetime record to 4-10.

Travis Kelce Over/Under 4.5 Receptions & Over/Under 48.5 Receiving Yards Sunday seems like the perfect time for the Chiefs to go back to old reliable.

The Chiefs may not have much of a running game without Pacheco on the field, so it may be up to Mahomes and Kelce to take down the Falcons.

Kelce has had an uncharacteristically slow start to the season with just four catches for 39 yards on seven targets.

Mahomes unleashed rookie wide out Xavier Worthy to partner with Rashee Rice in the passing game in the first two weeks, but the Chiefs are still going to need Kelce to step up in some capacity.

A primetime road game seems like the ideal spot for the Chiefs to get their star tight end on track as they adjust their offense without Pacheco.

Patrick Mahomes Over/Under 19.5 Rushing Yards Mahomes may have to improvise more with his feet on Sunday.

The Chiefs will rely on a combination of Carson Steele and Samaje Perine to carry the rushing load, but neither are as effective as Pacheco inside the Chiefs offense yet.

That should lead to more passing situations for the Chiefs, and if the Falcons key in on that, it could lead to more blitzes that Mahomes has to escape from.

Mahomes had 29 rushing yards on four carries last week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

A similar stat line is possible in order to escape the Atlanta pass rush and keep drives going.

Bijan Robinson Over/Under 75.5 Rushing Yards Robinson has been a dominant workhorse for the Falcons offense through two weeks.

The Texas product earned 165 yards on 32 carries for an average of 5.4 yards per attempt.

Kansas City's defense can be susceptible to large concessions on the ground.

It allowed 185 rushing yards to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1.

Atlanta should rely on a heavy dose of Robinson to not just create an offensive rhythm, but to keep the ball out of Mahomes' hands.

Robinson should carry the ball between 15 and 20 times on Sunday, and if that is the case, he should get close to hitting the over on his rushing-yard prop based on his season average.

Ray-Ray McCloud Over/Under 31.5 Receiving Yards Ray-Ray McCloud has been the surprise inside the Atlanta offense so far.

The former Pittsburgh wide out is second on the team in receiving yards with 94 and third on the team in receptions behind Robinson and Drake London.

McCloud has been used in the middle of the field as an option for Cousins when London and Kyle Pitts are blanketed by defenses.

McCloud has 12 targets through two games, so he should get a few looks from Cousins throughout Sunday's game.

He is not the most notable player in the Sunday night matchup, but he could be the one that wins you the most money because of how low his receiving-yard prop sits.
