Green Bay Packers @ Kansas City Chiefs -7.5

This line has ballooned since it was announced that Aaron Rodgers would be out with COVID-19. Ignoring the sideshow that Rodgers is currently creating in the media about vaccinations, the Packers will get wide receiver Davante Adams back in the lineup after he missed last game with COVID-19 as well. The Chiefs are set for their second straight home game after narrowly beating the Giants last week on Monday Night Football. Kansas City has been one of the league’s mysteries this year, with a struggling offense that leads the NFL in turnovers. The defense has been awful to say the least, although it looked improved against New York last week. Can Jordan Love lead the Packers into Arrowhead Stadium and get a win? Maybe. But more realistically, Love can cover the spread. The Packers were short-handed last week and ran the air out of the ball with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Look for more of the same this week against a Chiefs run defense that is allowing over 121 rushing yards per game on average. Expect the Packers to keep the clock moving to keep Mahomes off the field. If the Chiefs can sell out to stop the run and time those blitzes on Love, then Mahomes may have more opportunities on offense. Thus far, the Packers have been excellent at scheming opponents, and I expect nothing less this week. I’m not taking the Chiefs at over a touchdown, but my best bet on this game is the Under 48.0
