The New Orleans Saints have their first game versus an AFC opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Saints defense will walk in to Kansas City with eyes squarely on Travis Kelce. Patrick Mahomes’ favorite weapon for years now feels like the only true receiving threat due to the injury to Rashee Rice.
It was just two weeks ago that Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert had a career day against the Saints. If they can limit Kelce, that should lead to the Saints keeping the game low scoring.
The Saints offense had a bounce-back performance last week. It didn’t get the job done, but Alvin Kamara had more room to run. Chris Olave extends his streak of 80-plus receiving yard games to three games in a row.

Saints 31, Chiefs 26: The Kansas City Chiefs don’t win big. They’re 4-0 and have won every game by one score. That doesn’t bode well for the Saints if the game comes down to the final minutes. The Saints haven’t been the most reliable team in late game situations. The Saints offense looked better a week ago and my bold prediction is they’ll put up 30 points for the first time since Week 2. The Chiefs haven’t allowed 30 points all year. Chiefs 26 Saints 31
