Stopping Kenneth Walker Could Turn Kansas City-Seattle Into a Defensive Battle

From both fantasy and prop betting perspectives, Kenneth Walker appears positioned for a heavy workload against Seattle. However, Seattle could load the box and make stopping him the priority, forcing Kansas City to win through the air.

That approach would challenge Patrick Mahomes to beat Seattle with his current group of receivers and an aging Travis Kelsey. Questions about Kansas City’s receivers and a banged-up offensive line are among the reasons to like the Seahawks in this matchup.

The case for Kansas City centers on Spags and the strong play of the defense. That could turn the game into a rock fight and make the under at 42.5 the most appealing bet. The total appears slightly high because the game is in Seattle and involves the Chiefs.

Kansas City could still win, but expectations surrounding the Kenneth Walker revenge narrative may be inflated. He should receive plenty of work, and Kansas City may want to make a statement with him, but that does not guarantee significant success against a defense prepared to stop the run.
