Sunday Night Football: Expert Picks for Giants–Chiefs
Kansas City, MO – As teh NFL enters Week 3, all eyes turn to Sunday Night Football featuring a compelling matchup between the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs. Here are three best bets for the game, focusing on player props and anytime touchdown potential.
Jerick mckinnon OVER 3.5 Rushing Attempts (-115)
Despite a modest 3.1 yards per carry average, Jerick mckinnon presents a value prospect. McKinnon’s over/under for rushing attempts is set at 3.5, significantly lower than Isiah Pacheco (15 carries) and even Clyde Edwards-Helaire (13 carries) despite a relatively even carry split between Pacheco and Hunt to open the season.The Giants recently allowed Javonte Williams to rush for 97 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, suggesting a potential vulnerability that McKinnon could exploit.
Malik Nabers UNDER 6.5 Receptions (-105)
While averaging 12.5 targets per game, New York Giants rookie Malik Nabers faces a tough test against the Kansas City Chiefs’ secondary. The Chiefs limited A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to a combined nine catches and 80 yards on 14 targets. If Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie travels with Nabers, it could further restrict his opportunities. McDuffie has allowed only six receptions on 10 targets through two weeks.
Travis Kelce Anytime TD (+140)
Despite a recent dropped pass and interception, Travis Kelce remains a primary red-zone target for Patrick Mahomes. Kelce has been targeted on 33.3% of Mahomes’ passes inside the 20-yard line (two of six attempts).The Giants have allowed 13 receptions to tight ends, tied for sixth-most in the league entering Week 3, potentially creating a favorable matchup for kelce to find the end zone.
