The Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) will face the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) on Sunday Night Football following narrow victories in their previous games. The Chiefs struggled defensively, ranking second-to-last in the league in yards allowed, and will be without running back Isiah Pacheco due to an ankle injury. Atlanta's Jessie Bates III is coming off a standout performance and will look to challenge Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Falcons, buoyed by their recent win against the Eagles, might find optimism given the Chiefs' struggles to secure comfortable victories. The Chiefs are currently favored by 3.5 points, with a total points over/under set at 46.5. This matchup presents a critical opportunity for the Falcons to capitalize on the Chiefs' vulnerabilities as they aim to build momentum.
