The Kansas City Chiefs are one of two remaining unbeaten teams in the NFL, and the only one in the AFC. They travel to New Orleans to take on a Saints team that has lost its last two games. Who will come out on top? Here's how the experts across the NFL media landscape see it panning out.
Pro Football Talk
Mike Florio: "How will the Chiefs replace Rashee Rice? As usual, they’ll find a way.
Florio: Chiefs, 24-20.
Simms: Saints, 27-20."
Bleacher Report
BR Staff: "It would be easy to pick against the Chiefs this week with their offense devastated by injuries, but they still have a strong defense and a guy named Patrick Mahomes. Not to mention, the quarterback (Derek Carr) on the other side in New Orleans is 1-8 in his career at Arrowhead Stadium. The Saints started strong this year but have come back to earth in the past two weeks. Things don't get easier in a hostile road game. Injuries could eventually slow the Chiefs down, but we're going to wait at least one week to see it as Kansas City wins this one by a touchdown."
Predictions
Davenport: Saints

CBS Sports
Pete Prisco: "The Saints are playing consecutive road games and they are doing so in prime time. That's tough enough, but they are also playing the top team in the league. Patrick Mahomes started to show flashes of his old ways last week. I think he plays well here -- throwing for over 270 and two scores -- as the Chiefs win when they turn Derek Carr picks into points.
Pick: Chiefs 31, Saints 20"
