Kansas City is in a bit of an offensive slump heading into "MNF." The Chiefs have scored only 30 points over their last two games, and Patrick Mahomes has struggled with just 425 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions over that span. KC escaped with a 21-14 victory against the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago thanks to its defense, which has been a warped theme for this team all year.

As for the Eagles, their offense is firing on all cylinders. Following their dud against the New York Jets, the Eagles have scored 31, 38 and 28 points in their last three games. The Jalen Hurts-A.J. Brown duo has been unstoppable all season, but it could meet its match against a Chiefs secondary that held Tyreek Hill to only 62 receiving yards and no touchdowns in their last game. 

'Monday Night Football' betting picks

Chiefs -2.5 (-115 FanDuel)

This game fits the mold as a cardinal rule in sports betting. If Mahomes is ever an underdog or a short favorite, you take the Chiefs and don't think twice about it. Mahomes is 20-6-1 against the spread in the NFL as a dog or favorite of three or fewer points.

The way the Eagles beat you is by pressuring the quarterback and beating you with explosive plays down the field. Kansas City can limit both with its elite offensive line and stellar secondary. As long as the offensive line gives Mahomes enough time to throw, he'll be able to slice up this defense down the middle of the field. Take the discount with the best quarterback of this generation. 

A.J. Brown under 84.5 receiving yards (-114 FD)

The Chiefs are coming off their bye week, so they've had 14 days to prepare for this high-octane Eagles offense. And what did they learn in that time? The key to stopping this offense is to limit Brown's explosive plays down the field. 

Kansas City's defensive game plan will revolve around keeping Brown in check. The Eagles won't have Dallas Goedert for the game, either, so it'll be easier for the Chiefs to double-team Brown and force Hurts to beat them elsewhere.
