Detroit Lions at Kansas City Chiefs Preview & Picks
Kansas City are tipped to cover as they open with a win.
The Chiefs may have lost some key talent, but this is still a loaded roster with Super Bowl ambitions.
They are backed to lay down an early marker and continue their knack for covering against NFC teams.
- Kansas City were 5-0-1 ATS vs NFC teams last season
- Kansas City are 5-1-0 ATS in their last 6 season openers
- The Under cashed in 8 of Kansas City’s 10 home games last season
- The Under hit in 3 of Detroit’s 5 games vs AFC teams last season
Head To Head
- Kansas City Chiefs lead the all-time series 9-5
- Kansas City Chiefs won 34-30 when the teams last met in September 2019
Detroit Lions Form
Detroit come into the season with high expectations after recording a winning 9-8 season in 2022.
The Lions struggled badly through the first several weeks of the regular season, losing six of their first seven games.
A 15-9 upset of Green Bay in Week 9 proved to be the catalyst for a dramatic upturn, but despite going 8-2 over the final 10 games they missed out on the playoffs.
Detroit did wrap up the season on a positive note though, beating division rivals over the final two weeks.
The Lions blew out Chicago, 41-10, in their home finale, and then travelled to Green Bay to beat the Packers 20-16 in Aaron Rodgers’ final game for the Pack.
Kansas City Chiefs Form
Kansas City enter the 2023 regular season with the aim of winning back-to-back Super Bowls.
The Chiefs dropped a couple of games during the first several weeks of last season, but hit a hot streak after their bye week.
They won nine of their final 10 games to march into the postseason with a 14-3 record, sealing home field advantage for the playoffs.
Kansas City downed Jacksonville 278-20 in the Divisional Round, and then edged Cincinnati 23-20 in a rematch from the previous season’s AFC Championship Game.
That set up a Super Bowl showdown with Philadelphia, and the Chiefs won it 38-35 thanks to Harrison Butker’s 27-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining.
Verdict
Kansas City have a great knack for covering in season openers and against NFC teams.
So while Detroit come into the season with plenty of hype, the Chiefs are the team to back in this one.
