Overview

• Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC at MetLife Stadium, with streaming on Peacock, Fubo and DirecTV.
• Both teams are 0-2, marking the first 0-2 start of the Patrick Mahomes era and raising urgency to avoid an 0-3 hole.
• Kansas City is without key wideouts Rashee Rice (six-game suspension) and Xavier Worthy (shoulder), elevating roles for Travis Kelce, Hollywood Brown and Tyquan Thornton.
• Odds list the Chiefs around -5.5 (moneyline near -295) with a total near 45, while Dimers projects a 24-19 Kansas City win, a 67% KC win probability, and value on the Giants moneyline (+245) and spread cover (54%).
• Giants rookie Malik Nabers has a league-high 25 targets as a focal point for Russell Wilson, and SportsLine’s model favors TE Theo Johnson to go over 20.5 receiving yards.
