The New Orleans Saints will visit the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday in a matchup that promises high-stakes action as both teams vie for crucial victories to bolster their playoff aspirations.
The Saints come off a tough divisional loss to the Falcons last week after Younghoe Koo kicked a 58-yard game-winning field goal. The Chiefs hope to continue winning despite the injuries piling up on offense.
The two teams have had their moments this season, but both are undoubtedly works in progress. The Saints destroyed the Cowboys and the Panthers but lost back-to-back games against the Eagles and the Falcons. While the Chiefs are undefeated, but Mahomes has more turnovers than touchdowns.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) sees value in betting the over on Travis Kelce’s receiving yards:
“It may be challenging to trust Kelce given his lack of success this season. However, with the injuries to Isaiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice, Mahomes will likely fall on his security blanket. Kelce finished last week’s game with nine targets, a number he hasn’t come close to all season. It also helps the Saints have allowed over 55 yards per game to TEs so far this season.”
