Other experts and analysts from around the league also trend toward Kansas City, with 97 percent picking the Chiefs to win on Sunday, per NFL Pickwatch.

In the NFL’s Week 8, the Chiefs host the Washington Commanders for “Monday Night Football” on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Throughout the years, the Chiefs have played well against Washington, scoring 323 points on offense, while the defense has held the Commanders to 179 total points.

"I'm proud of him (Commanders QB Marcus Mariota), man."

The real reason for the excitement surrounding this matchup was the quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes and Jayden Daniels.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been named an ideal landing spot for a dynamic running back before the NFL trade deadline.

"You train so hard to have success on every drive, and when you're able to go out there and do that, it is something you're happy about," Mahomes said.

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Josh Simmons is expected to rejoin the team in a few weeks, according to ESPN. The rookie started the first five games of his career but missed the last two weeks with what was described as a "family situation.

"There's communication and everything is positive," coach Andy Reid said Thursday of Simmons' situation.
