Chiefs Host Commanders, Betting Promotions Available for Fans

Kansas City, MO — The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, concluding the Week 8 NFL schedule. Kansas City enters the game favored by 12.5 points, partially due to the absence of Commanders’ star quarterback Jayden Daniels, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

The Chiefs, coming off a three-game homestand, recently achieved impressive wins against the Lions and Raiders. Head coach Andy Reid noted the team’s development this season, stating, ‘We have adjusted well and are ready for this matchup.’

Marcus Mariota will start as quarterback for the Commanders, stepping in after Daniels’ injury. Mariota has a mixed record this season but has shown he can perform under pressure. CBS Sports Fantasy editor R.J. White mentioned, ‘Despite missing Daniels, the Commanders are still capable of competing, especially with key receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel returning to the lineup.’

The over/under for the game is set at 47.5 points. Analysts expect a high-scoring game as both teams have demonstrated offensive capabilities. The SportsLine Projection Model shows the game covering the spread in 55% of its simulations.

BetMGM is offering new users a bonus code CBSSPORTS, providing up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the first wager loses or $150 in bonus bets if the first bet of $10 wins. This promotion allows fans to engage with Monday Night Football while managing their betting experience responsibly.

The game is scheduled for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Fans are eagerly anticipating how the absence of Daniels will influence the game’s dynamics as both teams try to improve their season standings.
