Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs (SNF)

This should have been an elite matchup of two of the best quarterbacks in the league, as Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers invade Arrowhead to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Unfortunately, Mahomes dislocated his kneecap in a Thursday night tilt against the Denver Broncos in Week 7, and will miss this game at least.

Green Bay is coming off a throttling of the Oakland Raiders, a game that saw Rodgers absolutely pick apart the Raiders defensive backfield. Kansas City has their own issues back there as well, so expect another big game from Rodgers, though the Chiefs offense should be able to move the ball, even without Mahomes.

Playing without Mahomes will be tough for the Chiefs in this one, but it will really be the defense that struggles on Sunday night. Rodgers is playing at an elite level right now, putting himself in the MVP conversation, and this Chiefs defense has struggled mightily to get stops on a consistent basis this season.

Prediction: Packers 30, Chiefs 21
