Eagles vs. Chiefs: Updated Odds, Money Line, Spread, Props to Watch for MNF
It's not only the best game of the NFL's Week 11 slate, but it could be the best game we'll see this regular season.
On Monday night, the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) will host the team they defeated in February, the Philadelphia Eagles (8-1).
The matchup sees the NFL's No. 5 offense in the Eagles take on its No. 4 defense in the Chiefs. And conversely, the Chiefs' No. 8 offense will be among the stiffest competition the Eagles' No. 13 defense has faced all season.
It's Kelce vs. Kelce (in spirit, if not literally). It's Patrick Mahomes vs. the Eagles front seven. It's Trent McDuffie vs. A.J. Brown.
This game has the potential to be an all-timer...if not a preview of a potential Super Bowl rematch, which would be the first in 30 years.
Needless to say, with such high-powered, high-profile teams taking the field on Monday night, there is plenty of interest in the game from outside these fan bases, as well as a plethora of intriguing props to follow. Let's break some of them down and go over everything else you need to know ahead of this matchup.

MNF Props to Watch
2 of 2
Rashee Rice Anytime TD (+220)
This prop is an easy one to take the plus money on. Two Chiefs players are tied for most receiving touchdowns this season: wideout Rashee Rice and tight end Travis Kelce. Rice has found the end zone in two of his last three.
The Eagles may have a fearsome front seven but their secondary has been anything but. Philadelphia is allowing the most passing touchdowns per game on average of any team in the league, at 2.1. Opposing wide receivers have scored against the Eagles in eight of their nine games so far this season.
Sure, the Eagles went out and got Kevin Byard at the trade deadline, but this is not a unit of which Patrick Mahomes should be at all scared. And he knows it.
Jalen Hurts Anytime TD (+125)
Let's stick with touchdown scorers, since this game is sure to feature plenty of them. This is, frankly, an unbelievable moneyline for Hurts' touchdown odds.
The do-it-all quarterback has found the end zone on the ground in six games this season; to put that another way, Hurts has failed to score a rushing touchdown in only three games this season. In Week 2, he did it twice.
The Chiefs have been stout this season when it comes to preventing touchdowns on the ground; they allow on average 0.3 rushing touchdowns per game, a league low. But how does that stat stack up against the Eagles' "brotherly shove"? We'll almost certainly find out on Monday.
Travis Kelce Under 75.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
A lot of betters may stay away from this prop, as there's no favored line (Kelce's over is also set at -115) and the receiving total is well calibrated to Kelce's per-game average of 74.6.
What's more, that average is heavily weighted by Kelce's monster outputs in Weeks 6 and 7, when he totaled 124 and 179 yards, respectively. In fact, those are the only two games this season in which Kelce has exceeded this prop.
Now, the Eagles defense hasn't been overly sout when it comes to yards allowed to opposing tight ends. Philadelphia has given up an average of 62.3 yards per game to the position so far this season, the seventh-most in the NFL. But when you're looking at yardage outputs by Kelce of 14, 26, 58, 60, 67 and 69 this season excluding those two big games, it's hard to feel good about taking the over here.
