Chiefs vs. Falcons prediction, best bets: Michael Penix Jr.’s troubles will continue in Week 10

The Chiefs face the Falcons in Atlanta as 3.5-point favourites, despite recent signs of poor execution and two consecutive losses. The article still favours Kansas City, arguing that Atlanta’s recent defensive struggles and Michael Penix Jr.’s declining passing form give the Chiefs the edge.

Penix has completed 59 per cent of his passes for 5.9 yards per attempt over his past four games. Atlanta has been outscored 50-17 across its last two, while Kansas City’s defence has allowed 6.4 yards per pass attempt and 96.3 rushing yards per game. Kenneth Walker is ruled out with a groin issue, but Patrick Mahomes has recorded 872 rushing yards and seven touchdowns through eight games.
