Saints vs. Chiefs Predictions for Monday Night Football, NFL Week 5

The Chiefs are off to a 4-0 start to their campaign in the quest to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. However, it hasn’t been the cleanest undefeated record we’ve ever seen, and injuries are also becoming a major factor.

After the Saints 2-0 start to the season by combined score of 91-29, they looked like absolute world-beaters and a true Super Bowl contender. Since then, they’ve dropped two straight, but they’ve only been by a combined five points.

So, what’s the best way to approach Saints vs. Chiefs predictions? Well, our best bet is going to be focused on a prop market, which we’ll break down for you coming up.
 

 

 

New Orleans Saints: Building On Derek Carr

Before we get into the best bet from our Saints vs. Chiefs picks, it has become increasingly difficult to get a good read on New Orleans. After their offensive explosions in Week 1 and 2, they struggled to score at all against the Philadelphia Eagles and found some middle ground last week with 24 points.

Their defense has remained solid, which is why if anything, we’re expecting a rather low-scoring MNF game. After all, prime time unders have hit at a great clip the past few years now. However, we’re going to be focusing on just the Saints side of things, but first, more about the Chiefs as to why that is.
 

 

 

Kansas City Chiefs: Finding Positives In A Loss

As we previously stated, injuries are already taking a significant toll on the back-to-back Super Bowl champs, and it’s only Week 5. Most teams don’t generally want an early bye week, but KC is one that may have preferred to have it with this first set of them.

After recently losing RB Isaiah Pacheco for quite some time, they will now be without WR Rashee Rice for at least four weeks after being placed on IR. Along with the fact that TE Travis Kelce is having his worst season ever, the Chiefs are relying even more on their defense than they did last season where they largely carried things.
 

 

 

Saints vs. Chiefs Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

Kansas City’s defense is a perfect lead into the best bet from our Saints vs. Chiefs predictions, but quickly, the latest Saints vs. Chiefs odds at DraftKings Sportsbook:

 

 

 

Saints vs. Chiefs Predictions: New Orleans Team Total Under 19.5 Points (-120 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

If you prefer sticking with standard markets for your Saints vs. Chiefs picks, we’d be comfortable with the game under as well, but we prefer to isolate New Orleans. It also helps that DraftKings provides several team totals to choose from rather than only the 18.5 points available at most other sportsbooks.

Regardless, we simply don’t expect the Saints to light up the scoreboard in prime time. They were able to hit over this total last week, but scored just 12 points the week prior. It’s also important to note that their 24 points last week came against an Atlanta Falcons defense that we recently saw allow 30 points on Thursday Night Football.

Even without that fact, the Chiefs defense has simply been the stronger unit the past two seasons at least. Superstar QB Patrick Mahomes would admit that as well, as he’s openly discussed the offense not firing on all cylinders.

All that is perfectly illustrated by the fact that KC has gotten off to a 4-0 start while scoring more than 22 points themselves just once. That means that they’ve been victorious by holding their opponents to low totals, as they’ve allowed more than 20 points just once. Most recently, they’ve allowed just 10 and 17 points, and those were both road games.

As many fans would agree, Arrowhead Stadium is one of the most difficult places for opponents to play, which should only help KC in a primetime game. Therefore, we’re locking in the best bet from our Saints vs. Chiefs predictions on the New Orleans team total under 19.5 points (-120 at DraftKings Sportsbook).
