As we’ve grown accustomed to, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have several prime-time games. It’s only Week 3, but it’s already time for their second one, which comes on the road against the New York Giants this time around. With all eyes on the matchup, we’ve shared our NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football.

NFL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets for Sunday Night Football, 9/21

A battle of 0-2 teams in prime time. That’s exactly what every fan expects when they hear Patrick Mahomes, right? As surprising as that is for Andy Reid’s guys, we still see Kansas City as a clear favorite for those looking to focus their NFL picks on the Chiefs vs. Giants odds in the standard markets.

That said, should they be such heavy favorites? They are still without Rashee Rice, and while Xavier Worthy is expected back, a dislocated shoulder is no joke. Many fans would also tell you that the Giants should be 1-1, but their game against the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday turned into a clown show.

This isn’t an NFC East rivalry, and in fact, it’s a game that we don’t see NFL predictions made for very often at all - these teams haven’t met since 2021. That’s not much data to pull from, but we can still work towards our NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football.
 

 

 

Sunday Night Football Prediction for Chiefs vs. Giants

Before we get into our absolute favorite target for some awesome plus-money odds, we’ve got those covered who indeed want to stick with a more standard approach without having to worry about backing a huge road favorite or trusting the G-Men.

If that sounds like you, we’d highly suggest taking the under. We don’t expect this to be a shootout like we saw from New York last weekend, especially now that they’re not facing an abysmal Dallas defense. On the contrary, Kansas City’s defense continues to be its stronger unit, as has been the case for two or three years now.

Sure, they’re 0-2, but the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles still only scored 20 points with Jalen Hurts throwing for just 101 yards. Similarly, the Giants' defense is still their superior side of the ball as well, as we aren’t going to put all of our stock in what we consider to be an outlier against the Cowboys in Week 2.

We also saw prime time games trend back to unders since the opening weekend, with Week 2 featuring a 22-6 snoozefest on Sunday Night Football and 20-19 and 22-9 Monday Night Football games. So, consider another under for your NFL picks, but let’s fully get into the focus of our NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football.
 

 

 

Chiefs vs. Giants Best Bet for NFL Week 3: Travis Kelce Anytime TD Scorer (+148 at Novig)

No, we’re not crazy. We are indeed taking an anytime TD scorer after having just said that we expect a lower-scoring game. We didn’t say it would be a 2-0 finish, and having a lower total means that we get even better odds for this play.

For the scoring that we do see, we expect some of it to come from arguably the greatest TE of all time. All fans remember right now was seeing Travis Kelce bobble a pass that turned into a pick last Sunday, but where did that happen? In the endzone. We know the relationship he has with Patrick Mahomes (not Taylor Swift in this case) as well.

We’d be willing to bet that he is going to help Travis Kelce redeem himself with a TD catch in prime time with the entire nation watching, and the endzone target was no fluke. Sure, Kelce didn’t have a ton of TDs last season, but don’t be fooled - he led ALL TEs in the NFL with 26 targets in the red zone.

We also saw the future Hall-of-Famer score in Week 1, so while he may not be in his prime, he can still get the job done. Therefore, the top pick from our NFL best bets for Sunday Night Football is Travis Kelce to score an anytime TD (+148 at Novig).
