Why the Chiefs can cover
Even though running back Isiah Pacheco was placed on injured reserve, the Chiefs have a collection of weapons on the offensive end. Rookie receiver Xavier Worthy was nabbed in the first round of April's draft, providing them with another speedy deep threat. Through two games, the Texas product has four catches for 64 yards and one touchdown. He also has 26 rushing yards and an additional score.
We can't forget about tight end Travis Kelce. He has a rapport with Patrick Mahomes that NFL fans know all to well. Kelce is also strong at finding soft spots in coverages. The 34-year-old can attack from different levels on the field and be tough to bring down in the open field. Kelce has recorded 911 receptions, 11,367 receiving yards, and 74 touchdowns in his career.

Why the Falcons can cover
After a shaky offensive performance in Week 1, the Falcons bounced back in the Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Atlanta recorded 385 total yards per game with 6.6 yards per play. Quarterback Kirk Cousins made some big-time plays throws throughout the contest, finishing 20-of-29 for 241 yards and two passing touchdowns.
There were three players who recorded 40-plus receiving yards. Receiver Darnell Mooney is a solid deep threat. In Week 2, Mooney had three catches for 88 yards and one touchdown. Drake London was another capable playmaker. London is a physical pass-catcher with reliable hands. The USC product had six receptions for 54 yards and one touchdown last Monday.
