Indianapolis was without 5 of their starters including star wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. Kansas City remained perfect on the year with an easy 30-14 home victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Patriots will have home field advantage and are actually favored by 3.5 points even though the Chiefs are undefeated. The Patriots have gone 3-2 against the spread this season including 2-0 at home. The Chiefs covered the spread in all 5 of their victories. In the Super Bowl era, Mahomes currently ranks 3rd all-time with 1,797 yards and 14 touchdowns thrown in his first 6 starts. For the Patriots newly acquired receive Josh Gordon is questionable for this game with a hamstring injury which has been an issue since he was acquired last month.
