In a riveting NFL Week 6 matchup, the Detroit Lions emerged victorious over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lions, with their No.1 ranked offense, showcased an impressive blend of a powerful run game and Jared Goff's precise passing. David Montgomery is anticipated to shine with over 44.5 rushing yards and scoring a touchdown. The Chiefs, now sitting at 2-4, need improvements in defense, notably against the rush. Expect a tightly contested game with the total points likely under 53.5, adding to the Lions' growing dominance in the NFC.

Detroit are on an offensive tear to start the year with the No. 1 ranked offence that is averaging 34.8 points per game. The dual threat of both an extremely productive run game and the precision passing of Jared Goff, who ranks top of the league with a 75.2% completion rate has them unstoppable. 

The Lions face a defence of the Chiefs that has question marks all over it. They rank fifth in points conceded, however they are giving up yardage, especially on the ground, which is allowing their opposition to control the game and the clock. 

So this is where we hit in this one, David Montgomery will be playing the power running game against the Chiefs and will go over his 44.5 yard rush total. Expect the pound game also to work in the red zone and Montgomery to score a TD. 

The game total here is the highest of the slate at 53.5 and I am taking the under. This game is not expected to be a blowout and you bet that Dan Campbell will want this match to be a defensive statement by the Lions, keeping the Chiefs scoring to a minimum to ensure victory. 

  • Detroit won 21-20 in Kansas City last time they met the Chiefs in 2023.
  • The Chiefs are ranked 22nd in the league, giving up 123.4 rushing yards per game to their opponent.
  • David Montgomery has rushed for over 44.5 yards in 3 of his last 4 matches. 
  • Montgomery has 4 touchdowns in his last 4 games for Detroit.

Detroit Lions Form


The Lions offence is destroying their opposition and can’t be stopped. Their fourth 30+ score in 5 games saw them pick apart the Cincinnati Bengals 37-24 after taking their foot off the gas in the fourth quarter with a lead of 28-3. 

Jared Goff led the way with another flawless game finishing with a passer rating of 153.0 completing 19 of 23 and 3 touchdowns. Heck, even David Montgomery had a classy return to his home town with a touchdown pass in the air and one on foot.

The offence is humming and so is the defence, who forced 3 interceptions and two fumbles against the Bengals. The Lions D is ranked 3rd in sacks (3.2/G), 5th in interceptions (1.2/G) and importantly are top three in penalties conceded and second in penalty yards.

Kansas City Chiefs Form


When to start worrying about the Chiefs? Die hard fans would say never, and history says everyone should agree, but there are signs on defence that are a concern in 2025. 

Their 31-28 loss to Jacksonville has them at 2-3 to start the season which isn’t a pretty number, putting them third in the AFC West. Their offence will be fine with Patrick Mahomes. It was evident what Xavier Worthy’s inclusion did against the Jaguars and Rasheed Rice’s return on the horizon is only going to lift their performance to another level.

The question is around their defence with both their line and backs giving up yardage. The Chiefs are allowing an average of 4.8 yards per run attempt, which is 27th in the NFL and ranking 22nd with an average of 123.4 opposition yards per game. The pass defence is also giving up yardage, but the stat sheet is kinder to them because they are seeing the ninth least passing attempts.
