Week 5 NFL picks for Chiefs vs. Vikings

Before tuning into Sunday's Vikings vs. Chiefs game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 168-118 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 22-10 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.

For Vikings vs. Chiefs, the model is picking Kansas City to cover the spread. Mahomes is expected to bounce back from having an off night against the Jets where he threw two interceptions. He will have that opportunity against a Vikings defense that has a struggling pass rush. Minnesota's defense is giving up 233.5 passing yards per game this season. 

Kansas City's defense ranks 11th in the league with just five takeaways so far, but the Chiefs should still put plenty of pressure on Cousins, who also threw two INTs last week. In addition, the Chiefs have won six straight games on the road while the Vikings are 0-5 against the spread in their last five games at home. You may be able to stream the game here.
