Why Bet on Chiefs versus Vikings

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Isaiah Pacheco and the rest of Kansas City’s offense is as awesome as ever. The Chiefs average close to 400 yards and over 25 points per game.

But KC’s offense isn’t the only reason to back them versus the Vikings. The Kansas City defense is also playing lights out. KC is allowing an average of 15 points per game. Teams are struggling to score against Steve Spagnuolo’s D.

Why Bet on Minnesota versus Kansas City

After losing their first 3 games of the season, the last season’s NFC North Division winners could have rolled up into the fetal position and given up on the season.

Minnesota didn’t do that. Instead of saying, “Oh, well, such is life,” the Vikings played a complete game against the Carolina Panthers, beating their foes 21-13. The key thing about the win is how Minnesota leaned on Brian Flores’s defense for the victory.

Flores remains one of the top defensive strategists in the league. He’ll have a plan to contain Mahomes and KC’s offense.  

Minnesota Vikings Offensive Averages

  • Total Yards: 370.8
  • Passing Yards: 287.3
  • Rushing Yards: 83.5
  • Points Scored: 22.5
  • Turnovers: 11

Minnesota Vikings Defensive Averages

  • Total Yards: 344.8
  • Passing Yards: 233.5
  • Rushing Yards: 111.3
  • Points Scored: 23.8
  • Takeaways: 3
 

Minnesota Vikings vs Kansas City Chiefs Final Betting Prediction

Beating Carolina and hanging with the Chiefs are two very different things. But Minnesota has a couple of advantages. For starters, the Vikings beat the Panthers with their defense.

For sure, Mahomes, Kelce, and the rest of KC’s offense will move the football. But Brian Flores doesn’t have to stop the Chiefs from scoring. He just has to contain Mahomes and KC’s offense and on some drives hold the Chiefs to field goals instead of touchdowns.

On the flip side, Minnesota didn’t rely exclusively on the pass to get the win. In fact, Cousins had a bad game, throwing a couple of interceptions.

So if Kirk to Justin is more effective on Sunday, who knows? Maybe, the Vikings have a shot to win late in the fourth quarter. In any case, Minnesota should keep any loss to 3 points or less.
