Tempo & pace — how this likely plays

  • Kansas City can start in quick game to blunt edge pressure, then accelerate into hurry-up if Washington shows soft zones.
  • Washington’s path is clock control: early-down runs, screens to slow the rush, and long fields to shorten possessions.

Commanders at Chiefs pick — matchup levers

  • Mahomes vs four-man heat: He crushes blitzes; efficiency dips when pressure arrives without extra rushers. Right-tackle protection is the swing point.
  • Middle-of-field targets: Travis Kelce and RB outlets stress Washington’s linebackers; if chains keep moving, red-zone trips stack up.

Key injuries & availability

  • Chiefs skill group intact; any late WR scratch would push targets toward TE and backs.
  • Commanders’ front healthy; secondary depth dictates how often they can stay in two-high without busts.

Projected market moves

  • Side: Books prefer to hold −11. If −10.5 pops, expect swift KC money; +11.5 invites sharp Washington buyback.
  • Total: Toggle band 47.5–48.5 with weather neutral; inactives that thin either pass game could nudge Under.

Commanders at Chiefs Prediction

Pick: Commanders +11 (−110). Lean: Under 48. Washington’s four-man rush can create third-down friction and preserve backdoor equity, while KC’s quick-game plan trims explosive variance. If you like Washington, grab +11 before any drift to +10.5; Under backers can wait for a public tick up.
