Saints Ready For Test in Kansas City
The New Orleans Saints’ offense has been a big surprise this season. In the first two weeks, they scored over 40 points and embarrassed the Cowboys in Dallas. However, since then, the offense has cooled down a bit. The Saints have now lost two straight games, both close and tough losses. Last week, they fell to the Atlanta Falcons 26-24.
On the other hand, New Orleans excelled in third-down conversions and time of possession, with the team scoring in every quarter and the rushing game contributing three touchdowns. They can learn from those two close losses and apply the lessons against the Chiefs. The Saints have the confident offense to grind out more wins. QB Derek Carr’s continued strong passing will be key.
Chiefs Defense Trending Up
The Chiefs are one of the two undefeated teams left in the NFL. They’ve managed to win four close games where things could have easily gone the other way. Patrick Mahomes continues to find ways to win, despite Travis Kelce not having his usual stats.
Three of their four wins have come against strong offensive teams, so the defense will be ready to contain the Saints. In their last game, Kansas City defeated the Chargers 17-10, with the defense shutting them out from the second quarter to the end of the game.
Unfortunately, Mahomes will be without half of his starting offense, as Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, and Isiah Pacheco are all injured. The offensive depth has been tested in the past, though, and playmaker Mahomes has consistently found a way to get it done.
Saints vs Chiefs Prediction
Both teams have been in close games all season long. The Saints have scored the most points in the NFL this season, while the Chiefs rank fourth in points scored in the AFC. New Orleans’ offense has already performed well against tough teams on the road, and Mahomes will be without even more offensive weapons. This game will come down to the wire, and a late field goal could be the difference.
