Kansas City evened its preseason record at 1-1 with a 24-14 win over Washington with Pat Mahomes completing 12 of 19 passing for 162 yards and two touchdowns to tight end Jody Fortson. Shane Buechele finished eight of 15 for 70 yards with no interceptions, and Dustin Crum was three of three for 27 yards while backing up Mahomes. Mahomes is not likely to play in this game, and Green Bay hasn't played many starters in the first two games. Matt LaFleur won't change his philosophy for this one. Aaron Rodgers hasn't appeared in a preseason game since 2018. The Packers did beat New Orleans, 20-10, last week with Jordan Love completing 12 of 24 for 113 yards, and Danny Etling scored on a 51-yard keeper. LaFleur still is just 3-6 straight up and 2-5-2 ATS in his preseason career. The Chiefs have won and covered three of their last five preseason contests dating to last season, and the Packers haven't won a preseason game away from home since 2017. Take the Chiefs.
