Kansas City Chiefs vs. Minnesota Vikings Analysis
Andy Reid and his Kansas City Chiefs got to feel fortunate to come away with a win in the Week 4 affair at the New York Jets. The Chiefs are a team full of Swifties, with the recent news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The Chiefs have won both games since Swift started attending games.
On the season, the Chiefs are scoring 25.3 points per game, which is 9th in the league. Defensively, the Chiefs are allowing 15 points per game. Isiah Pacheco is the leading rusher for Kansas City. Pacheco has ran the football 55 times for 270 yards and two touchdowns.
Still on the offensive side, when looking at NFL Team Stats, the Chiefs are Top 10 in both rushing and passing yards, combining for just shy of 400 per game.
The Kansas City Chiefs schedule shows they will have a short turnaround after this game. The Chiefs go back home and host the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football.
Minnesota’s Redemption
Minnesota finally got off the hook, and is no longer winless. The Vikings played good defense, holding Carolina to just 13 points in the win. Before that, the Vikings were allowing more than 27 points per game. The Vikings are led by veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. His NFL Player Stats show that he has 11 passing touchdowns, with three of them to Justin Jefferson.
Jefferson leads the team with 543 receiving yards in four games this season. His NFL MVP Odds are still slim, though.
The Vikings picked up Cam Akers from the Rams but still have Alexander Mattison as their top running back. He has 250 yards on the ground in four games. The Vikings are at the Chicago Bears in Week 6.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Minnesota Vikings Betting Pick and Prediction
This is a tough game to give a betting pick and prediction. The Kansas City Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl Champions.
The Kansas City Chiefs are the betting favorites to repeat as back-to-back Super Bowl Champions. But the Kansas City Chiefs have not played great to start the season. In saying that, Kansas City is 3-1 on the season.
The Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce connection is a little off, and the rest of the receivers are not getting the job done.
The Vikings have been a mess, but they have the talent. They are coming off a win. But one thing Minnesota does – lose close games. Look for the Vikings to keep this game close, but in the end, the Chiefs win.
- For our Chiefs vs Vikings best bets: Betting the Minnesota Vikings +4.5 is the way to go here.
Barring any late additions to the NFL injury report, take the Kansas City Chiefs 31-28 over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
