Kansas City is favored by close to a touchdown at home with a total in the mid 40s, which is the market saying it expects a defensive game rather than a shootout. Lines move on injury news through the week, so check your book before kickoff.

How Both Teams Got Here
Kansas City opened with a 31-10 win over Denver on Monday night, the kind of statement result the Chiefs did not manage often last season. Indianapolis went the other way, losing 41-23 at home to Baltimore in a game that was out of hand by the fourth quarter.
That gives this a clear shape on paper: a rested Chiefs team at home on short national television against a Colts side that just gave up 41 points. The counterweight is that Kansas City played Monday and has a shorter turnaround than most of the league.
What to Watch
Whether Indianapolis can slow the game down. Giving up 41 to Baltimore was a defensive problem more than an offensive one, and Arrowhead at night is the worst possible place to try to fix that in a hurry. The Colts need long drives and a low possession count.
For Kansas City the question is whether the Denver performance was real. One win over a division rival does not settle much, but a second straight comfortable night would say the offense is genuinely back.
