The Kansas City Chiefs (11-3 SU, 8-5-1 ATS) are still on top of the AFC West, and they still have the No. 1 seed in the conference – but that could all change Sunday night if they don’t beat the Seattle Seahawks (8-6 SU, 8-4-2 ATS). NBC has the coverage at 8:20 PM ET; the Chiefs are 2.5-point road favorites at press time with a total of 53.5.
Kansas City had the division title all but wrapped up last Thursday, until the Los Angeles Chargers (+4 away) erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to win 29-28 and tie the Chiefs at 11-3. That leaves KC at 2-1 SU and 0-3 ATS since they released Pro Bowl RB Kareem Hunt, after he was put on the commissioner’s exempt list following the TMZ release of video footage showing an altercation with a woman.
The Seahawks almost clinched an NFC Wild Card berth last Sunday, but lost 26-23 in overtime to the San Francisco 49ers as 4.5-point road favorites. They can still make the playoffs with a win over the Chiefs, or against the visiting Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. LB KJ Wright (knee) could return for Seattle after playing just three regular-season games.
