The Kansas City Chiefs are set to face the Seattle Seahawks in a highly anticipated matchup at Lumen Field on Sunday Night Football, with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET. Coming off a challenging season in 2025, the Chiefs look to reestablish their dominance against the defending champions, although they will not be the only undefeated team if they secure a victory.

With a low total of 42.5, expectations are for a defensive battle. The Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, aim to exploit the Seahawks' Super Bowl-caliber defense. Notably, Kenneth Walker III will be playing against his former team, adding extra motivation to the game.

Best Bets for Sunday Night Football

• Chiefs +3: Despite the line moving to Chiefs +3, trusting Mahomes in prime-time situations is crucial. The Seahawks could put forth a strong effort, but Mahomes has a track record of coming through in these moments.

Player Props

• Patrick Mahomes Over 3.5 rush attempts (+108, DraftKings): Expect Mahomes to utilize his legs against a team that pressures quarterbacks effectively. If the Chiefs lead, he may take extra carries late in the game.

• Jaxson Smith-Njigba Over 7.5 receptions (+113, DraftKings): This prop presents great value, especially in a prime-time game. Although the Chiefs will focus on him, Smith-Njigba is known for his ability to make plays, particularly if the game turns high-scoring.

Anytime Touchdowns

• Kenneth Walker (-120): As a key player, Walker has been a touchdown machine, and facing his old team adds to the stakes. The Chiefs are likely to utilize him heavily near the goal line.

• A.J. Barner (+255): Another intriguing option for a touchdown, Barner could surprise in this matchup.
