These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options, and in MME contests, there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.

Game Strategy

  • Over/Under: 42
  • Spread: Chiefs -5
  • Chiefs Implied Team Total: 23.5
  • Saints Implied Team Total: 18.5

Despite the absences of stars Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs are still the clear favorites in this one at home. Lineups should lean Chiefs heavy.
