How can I watch Week 5's Monday Night Football game? Bruce runs down how to watch and what to look out for.
Who is Going to Win?
The Chiefs have emerged as a substantial favorite over the Saints, with Kansas City favored by 5.5 points over New Orleans.
The Saints are 2-2 on the season, and a 5.5-point underdog to the Chiefs.
In the NFL, anything can happen. No doubt the Black and Gold can deliver Kansas City their first loss of the season.

Kansas City is undefeated thus far, but because of their defense and not their offense. For New Orleans to pull off the upset, they need to give quarterback Derek Carr some time to throw -- which is easier said than done against the ferocious Chiefs pass rush highlighted by Chris Jones.
However, the back seven of the Chiefs has been disappointing so far this year; if Carr gets time in the pocket, his talented pass-catchers could pick apart the secondary.

The key to victory for Kansas City is to overwhelm the New Orleans offensive line. The Saints have a top-notch run blocking line, but has struggled against opposing pass rushes so far this season. If Jones, George Karlaftis, and Tershawn Wharton continue demolishing the pass blockers, it could be a long day for the Saints offense.
