Chiefs vs. Lions picks against the spread
Jon Hoefling: Detroit Lions (+2)
The Lions have one of the best offenses and defenses in the NFL this year. The Chiefs seem to be coasting by on name value alone.
Jordan Mendoza: Detroit Lions (+2)
Detroit is firing on all cylinders, and it has the chance to put Kansas City at 2-4. The Lions don’t crumble on the road and get it done.
Tyler Dragon: Detroit Lions (+2)
The Lions have won four straight games. A win in Kansas City will likely put them in the conversation for best team in the NFL.
Christopher Bumbaca: Detroit Lions (+2)
We don’t pick against the Lions’ spreads here but we also cannot see a world in which Patrick Mahomes lets his team lose this game. Calling the shot: Chiefs by one point.
Lorenzo Reyes: Detroit Lions (+2)
Kansas City’s offense looks a touch off, while Detroit is firing on all cylinders. It’s a huge matchup, and the Chiefs usually get up for these, but I think the Lions should be the favored team here.
Blake Schuster: Detroit Lions (+2)
Kansas City may bounce back with a win, but it won’t be easy. The Chiefs take too many penalties and the Lions pounce on mistakes.
