Kansas City overhauled a bad defense this offseason and the results have been a mixed bag, allowing 20.3 points per game this August. They just gave up 27 points, 257 yards passing and 124 yards rushing to the 49ers. The run defense has allowed 124 yards in each of the last two games. Chiefs backup QB Chad Henne broke his ankle Saturday, but the team brought in capable veteran Matt Moore. Green Bay's defense has been worse, allowing 24.6 ppg this August. At least the new-look offense is producing, averaging 20.6 points. The Packers brought in offensive expert Matt LaFleur as coach, who worked in Atlanta under Kyle Shanahan and as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, learning from Sean McVay. These teams met in Week 4 last season in a shootout, a 33-21 Kansas City win, with the Chiefs piling up 326 passing yards. Look for a similar offensive show. This one finishes OVER.
