Green Bay Packers
On Tuesday, head coach Matt LaFleur announced that the starters won’t be playing in this game. This means we will see a lot of Jordan Love again following the trend of the preseason.
In the last game, the Packers defeated the Saints 20-10. Jordan Love was 12/24 with 113 yards and a touchdown pass in a game he played into the 4th quarter in. The story once again for the Packers offense was drops; Jordan Love has had 9 balls dropped passes so far in the preseason. The storybook start continued for Romeo Doubs, we caught 3 passes for 24 yards and the touchdown from Love.
If you are looking for a storyline to follow in this one for the Packers, it would be the fight for the 3rd running back to make the team between Patrick Taylor and Tyler Goodson. Tyler Goodson was brought in as an undrafted free agent this year from Iowa and has looked great. He rushed 10 times for 42 yards in the game for the Saints, while Taylor rushed 8 times for 27 yards.
Kansas City Chiefs
Andy Reid hasn’t announced if the starters will play, but if he continues trends from the past, we will see Mahomes and the starters for 1-2 drives to start the game. Mahomes played into the 2nd quarter, going 12/19 with 162 yards and 2 touchdowns; I think he is ready for the regular season.
The Chiefs defeated the Commanders last game 24-14; after Mahomes came out, he saw Shane Buechele for the Chiefs. He went 8/15 for 70 yards after coming in for Mahomes.
A couple fun players to watch for the Chiefs are Skyy Moore and Isiah Pacheco. Pacheco has been a good story for the Chiefs and has a great chance to be a difference maker for the Chiefs in their backfield this season.
Not much more to say about this game other than we are 4 quarters away from seeing real, meaningful football and I couldn’t be more excited for the preseason to end. Let’s hope no injuries happen in any of the games and we can enter the season with meaningful starters healthy and ready to go!

4* Free Week 3 NFL Betting Prediction: Chiefs +1.5
Just because I think the Chiefs will play the starters a couple series vs backups, I’m going to take the Chiefs +1.5 in this game even though Love is a better QB than all the backups combined for the Chiefs.
