Chiefs @ Seahawks
Graham Tiedtke
The Kansas City Chiefs head to Seattle to face the Seahawks. They are a 2.5-point favorite on the road this week.
Wide receiver Sammy Watkins is out for the game while running back Spencer Ware is questionable.
The Seahawks have a lot of injuries to their running backs. JD McKissic and CJ Prosise are on injured reserve, while Rashad Penny is questionable.
Seattle is giving up 114 rushing yards per game, while the Chiefs are allowing 118 yards per game on the ground.
Kansas City is trying to get ahead of the Chargers in the standings. They both are at the top and it is especially important to get ahead now that there are just two weeks left of the regular season.

The Chiefs desperately need this win to keep the top seed in the AFC West after dropping last week’s game at home to the Chargers.
Seattle is a sturdy team that can punish anyone who overlooks them. However, I really can’t see the Seahawks keeping up in a shootout against Mahomes.
The Chiefs have proven they can throw up crazy points on any defense (except Denver).
I don’t expect anything to change here.

Playoff seeding is on the line in this crucial week 16 battle.
The Seahawks will start out hot, completing a touchdown drive on their first possession on a Russell Wilson touchdown pass. The Chiefs will respond, however, with a long touchdown pass from Patrick Mohomes to Tyreek Hill.
This back and forth battle will turn into a high scoring affair. Both teams will pull all the stops on offense and will keep each drive alive.
Going into the 4th quarter, it will be tied 31-31. It will turn into a battle of who has the ball last. Seattle’s 12th man will end up being the advantage, as Patrick Mahomes will throw an interception to seal it. Seattle will run the clock out to seal the game.
Seahawks 38, Chiefs 31
