OUR PREDICTION: After the Falcons looked like crap on Sunday in a home loss to the underdog Bills, you could make the case that the Chiefs are the best team in football. In fact, Kansas City is the lone unbeaten team at 3-0. Still, I think the Redskins have plenty of value here. The Chiefs are banged-up along their offensive line and this is a lot of points to lay in a primetime game where the underdog is competent. The Redskins have covered in 10 of their last 12 road games and are 12-5 against the number in their last 17 games overall. They’ve been good to bettors and I expect that good will to continue tonight.
