Lions at Chiefs: Chiefs -6.5, Over 54.5 Points

There's going to be a ton of scoring in this game as both teams have a ton of offensive firepower. Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs will instantly factor into a backfield shared by David Montgomery while Jared Goff has multiple options in the passing game headlined by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Marvin Jones Jr. The Lions had one of the most exciting offenses in the NFL last season and I expect them to put up plenty of points again all season. Speaking of points, reigning MVP and Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes will have a ton of weapons to pick from once again. KC's entire backfield will be back for support, but a passing attack that includes Travis Kelce, deep threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling, speedsters Skyy Moore, Karadius Toney and Justin Watson as well as rookie Rashee Rice is going to have no issue putting up plenty of points. The Chiefs' offensive line is al so better than last season's crew. Overall, I see the Chiefs winning by double-digits, but both teams should be able to find the end zone enough to get over this 54.5-point total in Week 1.
