Last preseason game, so you’re not going to get any key players for the Chiefs, which means no stealing a touchdown or two with Mahomes under center. The Green Bay Packers are likely going to give the bulk of this game yet again to Jordan Love, a guy who has played a ton this preseason already, is familiar with the offense and at one point was considered to be the future of this franchise. The Packers have a key edge at quarterback in this meaningless contest. I’ll lay the field goal.
