"Pamela Maldonado: Kansas City's defense leads the league in pressure rate, forcing opponents into shorter, inefficient possessions. That's where Detroit can get stuck -- moving the ball, but not finishing drives. Patrick Mahomes isn't running a track meet this year either; the Chiefs are more controlled, leaning on rhythm throws and long drives rather than downfield tosses. Detroit's ground game is explosive, but it's built on efficiency, not tempo. Kansas City's path to winning runs through its defense, discipline and limiting scores to field goals, not explosive plays. That script stays below 52.5."
The Detroit Lions visit the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6 with the Chiefs favored by 2.5 points and the game total set at 52.5.
