Jordan Love to Shine
The Green Bay Packers travel to Missouri to play against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on August 25th at 8:00 pm. This will be the final game both of these teams play this preseason. Last week, the Packers won their first preseason game against the New Orleans Saints by a final score of 20-10. The Chiefs also won their first game last week against the Washington Commanders by a final score of 24-14. Heading into this game, both of these teams are expected to be in the playoffs come the end of the regular season. Due to these high expectations, coaches from both teams might play this game cautiously and have their regular season starters sit on the bench to prevent any unnecessary injury from happening. As it is the last game of the preseason, the coaches need to submit their final 52-man roster so expect to see players playing their hardest trying to make the cut. Caesars Casino & Sportsbook has the match result odds at -120 Green Bay and +100 Kansas City. Additionally, the over/under total points for the game is set at 36.0 with the over and under both being -110. New users will receive a Risk-Free Bet of up to $1500 on their first wager.
The Kansas City Chiefs let their franchise quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, play the first two offensive drives for them. He was able to score on both drives and left the game having thrown for 162 yards and two touchdowns, with a quarterback rating of 125.3. The Chiefs were up 14-0 after Mahomes was taken out of the game. The Kansas City defense was also able to play an important role for the team as they forced the Commanders to throw an interception late in the fourth quarter. Now in this game against the Packers, it would be unlikely that head coach Andy Reid plays Mahomes as he will probably opt to have him benched to prevent any injury.
The Green Bay Packers have come out and stated that they will not be playing their starters in this game. They have decided to have the players that played for them last game start in this one against the Chiefs. The Packers have scored at least 20 points in both of the preseason games. Much of their scoring has been attributed to quarterback Jordan Love. In his preseason campaign, he has thrown for 285 yards and three touchdowns. Now in this game against the Chiefs, he has an opportunity to help the Packers win their final preseason game and head into the season with an above .500 record.
In this game, I expect both teams to have a lot of scoring opportunities. The Chiefs have put up 38 points in the preseason while the Packers have put up 41. However, I think Jordan Love is a better quarterback than any of the backup quarterbacks the Chiefs have so it is likely that Love will be able to lead the Packers to a victory. It is also important to note that the last time these two teams met in the preseason, the Packers won 27-20. With the regular season just a couple of weeks away, expect both teams to try and head into the regular season on a win.
For our expert Green Bay Packers vs Kansas City Chiefs prediction take the over on the 36.0 total points scored in the game.
