Cons

The Chiefs are a 3.5-point favorite in this week’s game, which points towards a rushing game script.
Skyy Moore has been among the worst wide receivers in the league at picking up extra yardage, averaging just 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) since the start of last season while checking in at the 0th percentile.
The Kansas City Chiefs have been faced with a stacked the box on a mere 9.3% of their plays since the start of last season, least in the league. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
The Kansas City Chiefs have gone no-huddle on a lowly 1.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This slows the pace, resulting in less volume and stat production.
The Kansas City Chiefs have risked going for it on 4th down a lowly 15.8% of the time since the start of last season (least in football), which generally means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive statistics across the board.
