Kansas City Chiefs vs. Seattle Seahawks Pick
The Chiefs have been slipping some in recent weeks, with personnel losses and setbacks on the field. The season began with nary a hiccup, as they won 9 of their first ten, covering almost every spread.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals Pick
At this point in the season, who cares what happened in week two? At the same time, a 34-0 Rams wipeout over the Cardinals does stand out. And with the Rams looking to get the ship righted, this very well could be the ideal spot. Arizona managed just five first downs in that game and if not for some defensive playmaking, that score could have been even uglier. Do the Rams have the Cards number? Sportsbooks think so with their number at -13.5.
