Washington at Kansas City Game Overview
The Redskins opened their season with a 30-17 loss to NFC East rival Philadelphia as slight one-point home underdogs, but they have relished that role ever since with a 27-20 win on the road against the Los Angeles Rams as three-point underdogs followed by last Sunday night’s stunning 27-10 upset over Oakland as 3.5-poing dogs at home. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in all three games of this 2-1 start both straight-up and against the spread.
While Kirk Cousin’s future contract situation in Washington remains unsettled, his play as the team’s starting quarterback is about as steady as it gets. He turned in one of the best performances of his career against the Raiders with 365 yards passing and three touchdown throws while completing 25 of his 30 attempts. The issue with this offense is a growing number of injuries to its running backs, but a versatile Chris Thompson remains a viable choice as the team’s leading rusher and receiver.
Kansas City joined Atlanta as the only two undefeated teams left in the NFL with last Sunday’s 24-10 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers as a three-point road favorite. The Chiefs also covered in a road victory against New England as eight-point underdogs and in a seven-point win at home against Philadelphia as 4.5-point favorites. The total has gone OVER in two of their first three games. They come into this inter-conference tilt with a SU 13-3 record in their last 16 home games.
Another veteran quarterback that has his offense heading in the right direction is Alex Smith. He has completed an impressive 77.4 percent of his first 84 passing attempts for 774 yards and seven touchdowns and he has yet to throw an interception. The Chiefs continue to do most of their damage on the ground behind rookie running back Kareem Hunt. He has gained 401 yards and scored four touchdowns on 47 carries as part of a ground game that is averaging 162 yards a game.
