Chiefs vs Washington prediction, odds and picks - October 17 | NFL season 2021-22
The Washington Football Team and Kansas City Chiefs were both division winners in 2020, and will now meet in Week 6 of this season with a record of 2-3. The Chiefs are coming off a double-digit loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. Washington is coming off its own double-digit loss to the New Orleans Saints last week.
The Chiefs have surprised those around the NFL this season with their record being under .500. Kansas City has won two consecutive AFC titles but now sits at the bottom of the AFC West. The Chiefs have allowed more points this season than any other team in the National Football Team.
For Washington, the end of the 2020 season showed promise for the future. But with starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick suffering a hip injury in Week 1, Taylor Heinicke has taken and the Washington offense has not lived up to the expectations they themselves had set.
