KEY NFL BETTING TRENDS: The Chiefs are 4-1 against the spread in their last five road games but 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last four games in Week 14. The Redskins, meanwhile, are 0-4 against the number in their last four games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games.
The Chiefs' defense dominated against inferior opponents earlier in the season but they've been torched by the Chargers and Broncos over the past two weeks. With Justin Houston out and Tamba Hali less than 100-percent, Kansas City's defense doesn't figure to get healthy today, even against an inconsistent Washington offense. On the other side, the Redskins' defense has been a mess under Jim Haslett all season and should continue to give up big points today.
