The Saints visit the Chiefs on Monday night, giving us another opportunity to capitalize on our +425 cash parlay in the same game from last Thursday.

Kansas City started as an eight-point favorite, but that number surprisingly dropped to -5.5 in the overall market.

While both teams will be without key players, New Orleans is suffering from cluster injuries on both sides of the ball, which could significantly impact this game.

In this preview, we’ll explain why the injury report contains all the clues needed to put together another successful game in the same game.

Saints vs. Chiefs odds

Parlay Saints vs. Chiefs in same game (+549, FanDuel)

• Step 1: ML Leaders (-240)
• Step 2: Travis Kelce 40+ receiving yards (-300)
• Step 3: Samaje Perine under 2.5 receptions (-170)
• Step 4: Kareem Hunt 25+ rushing yards (-400)
• Step 5: Alvin Kamara 25+ receiving yards (-205)
• Step 6: Less than 50.5 points (-310)

ML Leaders (-240)

The Chiefs continue to roll year after year, even if their roster changes. They weren’t supposed to survive without Tyreek Hill, but they’ve won two straight Super Bowls since trading him to the Dolphins. Even the departure of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy hasn’t slowed Kansas City down.

The core remains intact, with head coach Andy Reid (12 seasons), Patrick Mahomes (eight seasons) as quarterback and Steve Spagnuolo (six seasons) as defensive coordinator.

Kansas City has won 10 straight games while covering the spread in nine of them.

While the line heading to New Orleans is a little confusing, I’m OK with a juicy moneyline play on the Chiefs to kick off our SGP.

Travis Kelce 40+ receiving yards (-300)

After a quiet start to the season, Kelce had his best performance in Week 4 with seven catches for 89 yards on a season-high nine targets.

While Kansas City made strides to improve its wide receiving corps during the offseason, injuries should indicate Kelce taking on a larger role.

The absence of starting linebackers Pete Werner and Willie Gay will make things more favorable for Kelce. Look for Mahomes to target those weak spots in the middle of the zone and get Kelce involved early and often.

Samaje Perine under 2.5 receptions (-170)

Following an injury to Isiah Pacheco in Week 2, the Chiefs signed Kareem Hunt to their practice squad.

Now first on the depth chart heading into Monday night’s game, Hunt was productive in his Week 4 debut, averaging 4.9 yards on 14 carries. He also had two receptions for 16 yards.

He’s a candidate to stay on the field even on third down, and as Hunt gets more comfortable on offense, Perine could play fewer snaps, similar to what happened before Pacheco was injured.

Kareem Hunt 25+ rushing yards (-400)

One thing we can expect from the Chiefs is a balanced attack. We’ve seen them operate this way with Pacheco, and it should continue with Hunt as their star back.

Kansas City ranks in the top half (12th) of the league with a point play rate of 46.4%.

While the Saints defense ranks eighth in FTN Fantasy’s DVOA metric, Hunt’s alternate prop of 25 yards is very modest and achievable.

Alvin Kamara 25+ receiving yards (-205)

It could easily be argued that the Saints’ offense is built around their dynamic running back, who has six touchdowns this season and has played at least 80 percent of the offensive snaps over the past two weeks.

With New Orleans losing two starting offensive linemen (center Shane Lemieux and right guard Cesar Ruiz), Derek Carr could see a lot of pressure from the Chiefs pass rush. Carr likely won’t have much free time, as he’ll need to keep up with his progress quickly.

So, Kamara will be a great checking option out of the backfield, and he has topped 25 receiving yards in all four games this season.

Betting on the NFL?

ALT below 50.5 points (-310)

Over the past few weeks, the Chiefs have played a much more controlled game as they try to deal with their injuries at the wide receiver position.

Mahomes hasn’t been at his best, throwing five interceptions, and his total QBR of 50.8 is a career low.

The Saints should do their part to push this game over 50 points, and I just don’t see that happening against this Chiefs defense.

Add in FanDuel’s very juicy alternate total of 50.5 points to complete the SGP.
