Sunday Night Football prop picks for Kansas City vs. Atlanta for sites like PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy, DraftKings, Pick6, and more

· CBS Sports

The Kansas City Chiefs will be playing without running backs Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire when they face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. Rookie Carson Steele only has nine carries through the first two games of the season, but he is in line to be the early-down back in this game. Steele has a rushing yards over/under of 45.5 in the Week 3 NFL odds, while Samaje Perine has a rushing yards total of 17.5. Should you back either of those running backs to go Over with your Chiefs vs. Falcons prop bets?

The expected lack of rushing means Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes could be in for a high-volume passing performance. His passing yards total is 269.5, which is a number he has surpassed in just two of his last eight games.
