3 Bold Predictions for Chiefs vs. Eagles on Monday Night Football
Get our best bold predictions for tonight's game

2. Chiefs Hold Jalen Hurts UNDER 200 Passing Yards
Chiefs fans should expect defensive excellence tonight, even against an explosive passing attack like Philadelphia's.
Kansas City hasn't allowed a 200+ yard passer since the Vikings game on October 8. That's over a month ago! Hurts was held under 200 yards twice already this season and I believe in the Chiefs' exceptional defense to smother his total once again.
In the Chiefs' last 18 regular-season home games, they held their opponent to 17 points or fewer 13 times. With George Karlaftis, Chris Jones, Mika Danna and Charles Omenihu causing havoc to support the secondary, I don't see how the Eagles generate a ton of passing yards in this game.
George Karlaftis has recorded at least 4 pressures in every single game this season 🤯

On the season, the Chiefs rank third in opponent yards per pass attempt (5.5) and fourth in opponent passing yards per game (176).
This defense can be trusted and I'm ready to watch a masterpiece from Steve Spagnuolo.
While I don't think the Eagles will generate much offense, I do believe in the Chiefs' chances for my final bold prediction.
