Chiefs vs Commanders Prediction
Washington comes into this matchup after losing three of their last four games, they are on the road in a tough place to play, and they will be without their starting quarterback. The Commanders have allowed 44, 25, 10, and 34 points in their last four games, and will play a KC offense that has scored 30+ in three of their last four. The Chiefs are getting healthier on offense and they are starting to roll over opponents. I think KC will continue to put up plenty of points in this game, but I also expect Washington to hit 17-20, as they have in four of their last five. Take the over here.
