Commanders vs. Chiefs Betting Predictions

Commanders vs. Chiefs Point Spread

You don’t see NFL games with such wild line movement often, but Daniels’ status and the Chiefs’ ascension have sparked it. Washington won’t have Daniels, and the defensive line is wrecked, offering tough challenges for the Commanders.

But KC is down two starting O-linemen, and the Chiefs are merely average vs. the run, which lines up with what Washington wants to do. Only one of the Commanders’ four defeats has been by double figures. We’ll bite on the hook and back the Commanders to cover the double-digit spread.

Commanders vs. Chiefs Over/Under

Mariota has been fine in relief, and Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel will both play. The Commanders average nearly 33 ppg in four games Mariota has started the last two years.

The Chiefs, as noted before, are averaging 31.5 ppg the last four weeks. With Mariota and his weaponry and Mahomes back on track, we’ll side with the Over as our top game line for MNF.

Commanders vs. Chiefs Same Game Parlay

1. 1. Over 47.5 Points: Each team has a path to 28-plus points. Mariota and the Commanders may not pull off the upset, but it has the pass game to keep up and perhaps get a late score that serves as a back door for the Over.

2. Marcus Mariota, Over 23.5 Rush Yards: Mariota is an opportunistic scrambler. In three games of action, he has only 10 rushes, but for 94 yards and a TD. KC allows more QB runs than any other in the NFL, and the fourth-most yards.

3. Rashee Rice, Over 65.5 Receiving Yards: In his 2025 debut last week, the Chiefs WR had a modest 42 yards, but on seven receptions and 10 targets, with two TDs. His 6.0 yards per reception is nearly half what he averaged in his first two seasons. Rice can expand downfield more here.
