The Kansas City Chiefs (2-1) are set to travel to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey to face the New York Jets (1-2) on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 4 of the 2023 NFL season.

Kansas City is fresh off a dominant home win against the Chicago Bears in Week 3, while New York is still trying to find answers after losing QB Aaron Rodgers for the entire season.

According to the folks at DraftKings Sportsbook, the Chiefs are 9-point favorites over the Jets in Week 4. The over/under point total is 42 points. The Kansas City moneyline is currently listed at -395, giving the Chiefs a 74.69% implied win probability.

Kansas City is 2-1 against the spread this season and 1-2 on the over/under point totals through three weeks of play. New York is 1-2 against the spread and 1-2 on the over/under point total thus far.

This marks the second consecutive week that the Chiefs have been favored by more than a touchdown. It comes after the offense really got back on track against a downtrodden Bears team. The Jets look like they can be taken advantage of as well, but Kansas City will still have to be at their best. This is the second primetime game of the season for the reigning Super Bowl champions and the spotlight didn't look so great on them last time, namely with the situation surrounding starting RT Jawaan Taylor.
