Despite their struggles this season, the Giants come into this one off of a win last week as they took down the Carolina Panthers 25-3. In the win, Daniel Jones threw for 203 yards and a touchdown. Devontae Booker also rushed for a touchdown.
The Chiefs have struggled to find consistency. Last week, they were crushed 27-3 by the Tennessee Titans. Patrick Mahomes threw for just 206 yards and an interception in the loss.
The Chiefs are the heavy favorites playing at home. They are -460 to win while the Giants’ Moneyline sits at +360. The spread features New York +10 (-110), and the over/under for total points is 52.5.

By The Numbers

The Chiefs have struggled to cover the spread lately. They are just 1-8 against the spread in their last nine home games. They are, however, 9-1 against NFC opponents in their previous 10.
Giants Looking For Big Road Upset Behind Jones
The New York Giants will certainly be the underdogs Monday, but if Daniel Jones can continue to show improvement, they could be in store for an upset.
Jones has been solid this season, both with his arm and his legs. Through the air, he has thrown for 1,727 yards, five touchdowns, and four interceptions. On the ground, he leads the rushing attack with 229 yards and another two scores.
Unfortunately, the weapons around Jones may be limited. Saquon Barkley is out with an ankle injury, and the availability is sketchy on Jones’ top three receivers.
Kenny Golladay has already been ruled out for Monday. Furthermore, Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are both questionable.
Defensively, the Giants rank 23rd in points allowed per game at 25.7 (31.7 on the road).
Chiefs Looking For Answers
This was expected to be another year where Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, and the Chiefs’ organization not only won the AFC West but competed for another Super Bowl. At 3-4, the Chiefs are just hoping to get to .500 at this point.
For Mahomes, he has thrown for 2,093 yards and 18 touchdowns. The problem, though, is that he has also thrown nine interceptions and been sacked 14 times.
Mahomes has rushed 32 times for 219 yards and another score on the ground, but he has also fumbled three times (two of them were lost).
Through the air, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce continue to be his go-to guys. Hill has 52 receptions for 641 yards and five scores. Kelce has 45 receptions for 533 yards and four touchdowns.
The Chiefs rank 27th in scoring defense, allowing 29 points per game (32.3 at home).
Taking Chiefs To Win, But Can They Cover?
This seems like a good week for the Chiefs to pick up another win. While the Giants have shown flashes of impressive play, they have struggled to find consistency, especially on the road.
While the Chiefs should be expected to win, the spread is another story. Even in their successes, the Chiefs haven’t always been dominant.
As previously mentioned, the Chiefs are just 1-8 recently at home against the spread, while the Giants are 11-3 in their last 14 road games.
Roll the dice with the Giants to have another week of solid play, at least solid enough to cover the 10-point spread.
