After an early Sunday kickoff, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to host the Washington Commanders on ‘Monday Night Football’ to wrap up Week 8 of the NFL season. Following a dominant shutout against the Raiders, Kansas City (4-3) looks for another victory against a struggling Washington team (2-4) who recently suffered a loss to the Cowboys. Washington will have Marcus Mariota starting in place of the injured Jayden Daniels.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET at GEHA Field in Arrowhead Stadium, with the Chiefs favored by 10.5 points against the Commanders. The total points for this game are set at 47.5.

Why Washington Might Cover

Washington has shown resilience in prior primetime games, winning all of their last three ‘Monday Night Football’ outings. Their strong rushing attack ranks second in the league and they possess a solid defensive line capable of putting pressure on the Chiefs’ offense, currently ranking among the worst in defending against the pass.

Why Kansas City Might Cover

Having successfully covered the spread in four out of their last five games, Kansas City is feeling confident. With Patrick Mahomes leading a potent offense, they face off against one of the weakest pass defenses in the league.
