A lot of the main offensive categories were pretty even, but the Lions won in time of possession. The red zone defense was 0-for-2 on stops, but they did pick up three turnovers.

Lions vs Chiefs Predictions and Picks
Detroit is currently ranked 12th in passing yards, seventh in rushing yards, first in points scored, and 16th in points against. The Lions are playing well on both sides of the ball and quarterback Jared Goff leads the NFL with 12 touchdown passes and a 120.7 passer rating. Detroit has great rushing depth going for them and the pass rush defense ranks second in the league with 16 sacks. The secondary defense is a little banged up and will try to tighten things up against the Chiefs good passing game.
Kansas City is ranked ninth in passing yards, 12th in rushing yards, tied for 12th in points scored, and tied for 13th in points allowed. For once, the Chiefs have been inconsistent and still trying to find their game. The offense is coming around, but the defense is trending down. Lately, the penalties have been an issue, but at least the rushing defense can be a key factor in this game. The Chiefs need to play a clean game and start doing the little things right again. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes still leads an explosive offense and they just need to find a way to get the ball to bounce their way again.
Best Bet: Chiefs money line
This is a big game for the Chiefs and maybe an early must win scenario for them. It will be a quarterback dual and will probably come down to the last five minutes of the game. Kansas City's three losses have all been by one score and their wins have been by double digits. Three of the last four Lions wins were by double digits and the only weakness for this team right now is injuries in the defense. The Chiefs are 1-2 at home, but would love to turn that around against an elite team.
