Chiefs Vs. Falcons: Odds, Analysis, Picks For NFL Week 13 Game
Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Kansas City Chiefs-Atlanta Falcons Week 13 game, with the line from OddsShark.
Kansas City Chiefs at (-3.5) Atlanta Falcons, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Mike: Chiefs. The Falcons’ offensive line is sneaky leaky, which is bad news given how Justin Houston played last week. It’s even worse news if Dee Ford returns.
Andre: Chiefs. The Chiefs lead the league in takeaways, turnover differential and have Houston, who looked better than ever in Kansas City’s win over Denver with 10 tackles and three sacks. The Chiefs also don’t turn the ball over (just three giveaways in the last seven games), and we all know how important ball security is for their success.
Ricky: Chiefs. The Falcons already lost Pro Bowl cornerback Desmond Trufant for the season. Now, it appears they’ll be without one of their better pass rushers, Adrian Clayborn, for some time. Count on Marcus Peters to lock down Julio Jones and for the Chiefs’ inconsistent offense to do enough to possibly sneak out of Atlanta with a win.
