Why are the Chiefs a good bet at +5?
Kansas City’s offense hasn’t missed a beat even though the Chiefs traded Alex Smith to Washington. Second year quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t throw an interception in the win over the L.A. Chargers. KC didn’t rush the ball that much to beat the Bolts because Andy Reid felt comfortable calling Mahomes’ throws downfield. Tyreek Hill caught all 7 of his targets for 169 yards. He caught 2 TD passes. Because Mahomes can throw as well as Smith, Kansas City can rely on rushing the ball with Kareem Hunt if the Steelers attempt to stop Mahomes.Team Statistics
