What is your favorite game-script build and why?
Notorious: My favorite game script is that the Falcons keep this game a lot more competitive than most think. My favorite builds are loading up on the Chiefs passing attack and then using Bijan Robinson at MVP and CPT. For those builds to work, I need the Falcons to be neck-and-neck with the Chiefs or even get out to an early lead.
ncorfield8k: The Chiefs show confidence in their run game and defense. The defense completely shuts the Falcons down. Carson Steele takes on a bigger workload than anyone expects and capitalizes on the opportunity.
Davis Mattek: The Chiefs lost Isiah Pacheco for the next 8 weeks; it is my prediction that this tilts them into being the most pass-heavy team in the NFL. The Falcons also enter in Game 3 of the Kirk Cousins experience healing from his Achilles tear. I think both teams want to pass, which is not what we are used to in the 2024 NFL season. I think we see big Xavier Worthy usage compared to Week 2 and that KC gets out to an early lead, which forces 40+ Cousins throws.
Bobby Gomes: The Chiefs are slight 3-point favorites, and Captain Kirk Cousins is coming off a thrilling Week 2 win against the Eagles. While I do like the Chiefs to cover, I think this game plays tightly. Losing Isiah Pacheco is a major offensive blow. Furthermore, the Chiefs allowing L’Jarius Sneed to leave in free agency is going to make it easier for opposing QBs. There is firepower on both sides, and I think a balanced approach will be mainly what I am aiming for as opposed to an onslaught of just the Chiefs.
