The two-time defending NFL champion Kansas City Chiefs face their first road game of the 2024 season against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 3 at the spectacular Mercedes Benz Stadium.

Although it looks like an easy game for Patrick Mahomes’ team, the reality is that the team led by Kirk Cousins is coming off an upset win on the road at the home of the Philadelphia Eagles.

In addition, it will be a tough challenge for the offense of Mahomes and Travis Kelce, since they will be without running backs, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco, as both are on injured reserve.

It will also be the second time this season the Chiefs play in prime time in the first three weeks.

In terms of the head-to-head matchup, the Chiefs and Falcons have met 10 times, with the Chiefs claiming seven wins. The last time they met, the Chiefs prevailed at Arrowhead Stadium with a tight 17-14 win.

While the Chiefs maintain an undefeated record, they have struggled in their two games, first at home against the Baltimore Ravens, who came within inches of taking the game away from them in the final seconds, and then had to come from behind in the fourth quarter to pull out the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, also at home.

While the Falcons had a poor offensive showing at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers, falling by 18-10, they have defensive leaders in pass rusher Matthew Judon and Justin Simmons in the secondary. While on offense their explosive running back Bijan Robinson stands out.

The odds for the game put the champions as favorites by 5.5 points. The odds predict a possible victory for the Chiefs, taking into account that out of the last 10 meetings they have played, they have won 7.
