Chiefs vs. Packers: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Radio, Game Time and More

Timothy RappJun 7, 2018

Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs ended the Green Bay Packers' bid for an undefeated season in Week 15. This summer, Green Bay has the chance to avenge that loss.

Well, at least the Green Bay backups will have that chance. It's unlikely we'll see too many starters in the final preseason game for each team.

But it will be a chance to take a closer look at important backups and players trying desperately to make the final cut. Let's preview the last tilt before the regular season begins for each team.

What's at Stake

This is the final preseason game, so it's all about those last few roster spots and special teams roles to be won or lost. The final cut down to the 53-man roster is just a day later on Friday, so making a strong last impression will be key on Thursday.

Player to Watch: Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs

There is the possibility that Bowe—who returned to practice last week—will see some reps on Thursday night in a final tune-up for the regular season. Though it's rare to see starters play in the preseason finale, Bowe could use the work.

Keep an eye on him if he plays. If he looks fresh and explosive, he should hit the ground running the regular-season opener, and he should once again be a viable fantasy football option.

If he looks rusty against Green Bay, it's probably best to temper your early-season expectations of the wide receiver.

What They're Saying

Keep an eye on Nick Perry—he could be an exciting defensive rookie this season. From Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel:

"

Nick Perry's baby steps at outside linebacker are starting to yield results and his comfort level is growing in practice. Working against the scout team, instead of Bryan Bulaga, Perry's raw strength is evident. He's far from a finished product but McCarthy has seen steady progress.

"San Diego he came out strong, Cleveland he took a step back and then I thought he played very well against Cincinnati," McCarthy said. "I’ve seen him grow more comfortable each and every week, he’s taken a ton of reps. I think we’ve definitely maxed out the opportunity to try and get him ready, and he’s responded. So I’m pleased with the progress he’s making, I’m excited about how much more he has in front of him."

"

Prediction

It's hard to say whose backups should be favored in this one, but with greater offensive depth, I'm going to give the Packers the slightest advantage in this one. Green Bay wins, 23-21.

Hit me up on Twitter—my tweets have an ADP of one.
