Kansas City at Las Vegas Game Preview


Why Kansas City Will Win

Can the turnovers flip to the other side?

Kansas City was having massive giveaway problems for weeks – with 19 in seven games – and then it got through the Green Bay game clean, was a +2 in turnover margin, and it got the big win.

Meanwhile, Las Vegas turned it over three times and lost to the Giants despite a big day from the defense.
