Saints vs. Chiefs 2024 Odds, Oct 7

Spread Favorite: Chiefs (-5.5)
Moneyline: Chiefs (-243), Saints (+198)
Total: 43 points

[Chieftain]

Players are getting open. Pat's not seeing them, continues to leave the pocket when he doesn't need to and that's causing him not to process the plays well. He needs to play the game at a slower pace. Trust your line, have patience, scope the length of the field. It's all there for the taking. He is not seeing the field well. It's maddening how this continues.

Did Chris Jone's manhood make an appearance?

SCORE - Chiefs: 16, Saints: 7

Saints have 69 yards on 21 plays (3.3 ypp) and the one bomb for the TD for the rest. Keep them locked down vs the run and start getting after Carr in the second half.

Let's come out in the second half and get 7 to put some distance between us and New Orleans.

P.S. Royals up 4-1 in the start of the 7th.

[Graystoke]

Saints have a good defense. Chief fans should be pleased with that half.
Clean up the penalties, keep ball security priority no. 1.
We got this

He’s never struck me of someone particularly scared of contact.

Not sure why he can’t chill out more back there.

LT is giving up pressure almost immediately on some downs. Doesn't seem to matter who we put there.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Nearly 300 yards of offense

Because he doesn't want to take a hit in a largely meaningless game that would end his season (and ours)

Seems simple enough

It’s really strange because it seemed like the game moved in slow motion for him in his first year starting.

And then as his career has gone on it seems like the game has sped up for him.

Not sure why but it’s bizarre.

Oh good. I'm not imagining things. There's so many folks on here saying Mahomes has no reason to not just sit in the pocket.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Offense looks like a couple years ago. Balanced. A bunch of Travis and a mix of whoever is open play 2 play. Excited watching this.. could have put up more points

430 actually. JuJu on pace for 130. Kelce on pace for 130. Kareem on pace for 100+ rushing.

His LT’s are getting him hit more so it’s speeding up his clock

He missed so many throws. So many. He has happy feet. Won't step up in the pocket. Doesnt trust either LT like at all.

Everyone adapting to stop him.

The whole league is playing 2 and 3 deep now.

[Rain Man]

Wow. Kareem is back and Fortson is back and now we get Chris Berman as well? Did I pass through a wormhole?
