The Kansas City Chiefs (3-1) travel to face the Minnesota Vikings (1-3) in an inter-conference showdown that will be the CBS national game of the week on Sunday. Both teams were playoff contenders heading into the season but Minnesota finds themselves in a tough spot heading into Sunday’s matchup. The game will air at 4:25 p.m. ET and a live stream will be available on CBS Live, Paramount Plus, and Sunday Ticket.
The Chiefs have won three straight after their season-opening loss to the Lions. The Jets gave them a tough fight last week, but Kansas City seems to be settling into gear. They only lead their division by one game, but the Chargers are struggling enough that the AFC West remains the Chiefs to lose.
The Vikings stumbled out of the gate with three straight losses and needed a sizable effort to avoid losing to the Panthers last week. Carolina led for much of the first half, taking a 13-7 lead into halftime. Minnesota went three and out on their first drive of the second half but then strip-sacked Bryce Young and ran it back 51 yards for a touchdown. It put them up 14-13 and they held on for a 21-13 win.
Kansas City is a 3.5-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook and the point total is installed at 53. The Chiefs beat the Vikings 26-23 back in 2019. This will mark their 14th meeting, with the first one coming back in 1970 at Super Bowl 4.
