NFL action is set to take place on 8/20/22 and it will feature Washington Commanders at Kansas City Chiefs. The game is set to take place at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The game starts at 4:00 PM EST and should be on NFL Network.

Washington is coming to the game here after losing in their opening game against the Carolina Panthers. The loss came against the Panthers but it was a very close battle with a final score of 23-21 on the day.

Commanders Offense

The Commanders in the game ended up having a great offensive showing. The Commanders went 23/38 in the passing attack for 229 yars with only 1 pick, but were sacked 2 times for a loss of 11 yards. Running the ball for the Commanders was good with 121 yards on a total of 26 carries with 3 touchdowns.

Commanders Defense

Washington on the defensive side of the ball faced a total of 38 passes with 17 completions. The Commanders gave up 195 yards in the air and a touchdown, but did end up getting 3 sacks for 13 yards lost. The rushing defense for Washington was not that horrible giving up only 93 yards and a touchdown while facing 30 carries.

Kansas City is coming in after losing in their opening game of the preseason. The loss for the Chiefs came against the Bears and ended up being a disappointing loss. The loss came by a score of 19-14.

Chiefs Offense

When it comes to the passing attack the Chiefs ended up going 36/40 for 153 yards and 2 touchdowns, but had a pick. The 4 quarterbacks were sacked a combined 4 times for 34 yards lost. The Chiefs picked up only 52 yards on the ground on 19 carries.

Chiefs Defense

On the defensive side of the ball the Chiefs faced a total of 26 passes giving up 15 completions with 148 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Chiefs did get a total of 5 sacks with 25 yards lost. Kansas City did have a rushing defense that was pushed around quite a bit giving up 137 yards on 32 carries, but did not allow a score in the game.

Washington Commanders at Kansas City Chiefs Odds: Commanders +4, Chiefs -4

Over/Under Odds: 42.5

Commanders at Chiefs Pick: Washington Commanders +4, Over 42.5

Odds from Betonline.ag 

Okay, I know that you are probably scratching your head right now as to why I have the Commanders as a +4. However, the chance of the Chiefs covering the spread I do not think will happen here, but I do see the Kansas City Chiefs winning the game. The total, though, with both of these offensive units combined will end up going on the over.
