Looking ahead to Sunday Night Football, the Chiefs will play host to the Colts who dropped their Week 1 game versus the Ravens.

Best Colts vs Chiefs Player Prop Bet: Kenneth Walker III (KC) over 79.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Odds available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing. Playable to 84.5 rushing yards

Kenneth Walker III did all the heavy lifting in Week 1, limiting Patrick Mahomes to just 27 passing attempts, as the Chiefs played from ahead from the 2nd quarter on. Head Coach Andy Reid fed Walker the ball 7 times on the 1st drive alone, ending with a Mahomes rushing touchdown from the 15-yard line. This comes at a bad time for the Colts defense, as they were slashed by Derrick Henry for 144 yards in Week 1. They had zero answers for one of the best running backs of all time, and it doesn't get any easier against Walker and a Chiefs team that looked nothing short of a top 5 team in the NFL in Week 1.
