What to expect from tonight’s Giants vs. Chiefs game?
After bouncing back with a Week 6 win, things went off the rails in Week 7 for Kansas City, suffering a 27-3 thrashing from the Tennessee Titans. Can Patrick Mahomes and the offense bounce back against a weakened Giants squad?
Uncharacteristically bad performance from Mahomes
Week 7 was the worst showing from Kansas City this season by far. The offense failed to find the end zone, Mahomes completed 20 of 35 passes for 206 yards and 1 interception. Nothing worked, and it must’ve been a long week of practice figuring things out for a team that had Super Bowl aspirations.

They take on an up-and-down defensive team in the New York Giants. The Giants are in the bottom half of the league for rushing yards allowed per game at 125.6. Yes, the Chiefs have Mahomes, but at the current moment, the passing game isn’t quite clicking like seasons past. Kansas City needs to let RBs Darrel Williams and Jerick McKinnon run loose on Monday Night Football tonight, hopefully opening up some plays for this explosive offense.
Giants’ offense is beaten up
While the Chiefs are trying to bounce back to days of the past, the Giants’ offense continues to have lineup absences. New York QB Daniel Jones has been missing quite a few weapons. RB Saquon Barkley sprained his left ankle, and WR Kenny Golladay hyperextended his knee in Week 5. The duo remains out for Monday Night Football tonight.
Luckily for Jones, he should see the return of WRs Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney. Toney was electric for the Cowboys in their Week 5 win. Getting the rookie WR back is a huge boost for New York, but can they keep up with Kansas City’s offense? The Chiefs get things back on track outpacing the Giants’ offense.
Giants vs. Chiefs Prediction: Chiefs 38, Giants 20
