Monday Night Football is here with a rematch of last year's Super Bowl! This time the game is at Arrowhead Stadium, as the Kansas City Chiefs host Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles.
We get to see the Kelce brothers go head to head once again, although both do not share the field at the exact same moment playing on the same side of the football.
Nevertheless, Taylor Swift will be in attendance, according to literally every news outlet known the man, and we're in for a great game.
Will the Eagles get their revenge on the Chiefs? Or will Kelce and Mahomes take down Philadelphia once again?
Let's break down Monday Night Football and find our best bets!

Free NFL Picks: Eagles vs Chiefs
Look, I know I'm a homer. I'll have my own boots on the ground screaming my head off 18 rows from the field. And I firmly believe there's no way the Chiefs lose this game.
It's Andy Reid off a bye week. That's enough for me.
Yes, the Eagles are coming off a bye week as well, but Reid might be one of the best NFL Coaches of all time.
Some things in life have a better chance of happening than others, like Bill Self and the Jayhawks scoring on the possession following a timeout, and Andy Reid and the Chiefs winning after a bye week.
Is that enough homerisms for you? Moving on…
Obviously this is a game the Chiefs have had circled for a while, but so has Philly. The Eagles feel robbed after losing in the Super Bowl on a holding call, but this is toughest place to play in the NFL.
Reid and Mahomes have had an extra week to prepare, plenty of time to rest up and get ready for this showdown.
It's a homer pick, so what? The Chiefs aren't losing.

Noah Gray over 1.5 Receptions (-107) Bovada
In order to avoid selling you a completely homer article, I'll avoid selling you a Travis Kelce prop, although I think he eats.
Instead, I'll turn to another Chiefs TE, Noah Gray, to catch two passes.
He's caught one pass in every game this year, and cleared this line in 6/9 games. Gray has seen at least 2 targets in all but one game, plus he's made the most of them.
He's caught 5 passes in his L2 games, and has cleared in 4 of his L5.
Now, Philly's defense ranks 28th in Passing Yards allowed per game, 31st in Pass Attempts, and 32nd in Passing TDs. The strength is certainly the rushing defense.
Here's how they've done defending TEs.
- DAL: 7 – 71 yards, TD
- WSH: 6 – 44, TD and 3-41
- NYJ: 3 – 24
- LAR: 2 – 20
- MIN: 7 – 66, 2 TDs
In his L5 games, Gray has seen 11 targets, and caught 10 passes. The man doesn't drop the ball, and I'm confident Mahomes will find him twice on Monday.
