Seattle at Kansas City

Kansas City is once again without Patrick Mahomes for most of this one. Andy Reid has not ruled out a series or two to shake the rust off the surgically repaired knee, but the bulk of the night belongs to Justin Fields, who has taken the lion’s share of Chiefs snaps all preseason. Seattle’s answer at quarterback has been Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe all summer, with Sam Darnold not having thrown a preseason pass yet, and neither backup has been especially sharp, Milroe in particular. Neither team is putting its best foot forward here, but Seattle is the deeper, more talented roster on the whole, and it is priced at plus money as if Kansas City’s backup quarterback settles this on its own. Fields is a legitimate NFL arm, not a camp body, but that alone does not close the gap against Seattle’s defense and skill talent. Take Seattle on the moneyline tonight.
