New York Giants vs Kansas City Chiefs NFL Preview: Team news, betting, tickets, live stream, Fantasy Football and more

For the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era, the Kansas City Chiefs find themselves staring at an 0-2 start. The reigning AFC champs have stumbled out of the gate, but Sunday Night Football offers a golden opportunity to flip the script as they head to MetLife Stadium to clash with the New York Giants.

The Giants are also winless at 0-2, yet they showed real fight in Week 2, pushing the Dallas Cowboys to the wire while Russell Wilson lit up the stat sheet for 450 yards. Now the question is whether New York can bottle up that same energy and deliver another big performance under the primetime lights.

Team news & squads

New York Giants team news

After stumbling through the opening weeks of 2025, the Giants’ offense finally found its spark in Week 2, with Russell Wilson delivering one of his sharpest performances in recent memory. The deep passing game came alive, and for the first time, Brian Daboll's unit resembled the explosive attack he’s been scheming toward. New York piled up 506 total yards, including a staggering 422 through the air—a level of production they may not repeat weekly, but the efficiency on display could prove sustainable.

A big piece of that turnaround has been the return of Andrew Thomas, the team’s cornerstone left tackle, who has been trending upward since coming off the PUP list. Daboll has praised his steady progress, and with Thomas expected to log limited practices this week, his presence against Kansas City would be a massive upgrade after last week's struggles with James Hudson on the edge. Meanwhile, the status of Jon Runyan bears watching—if his back injury lingers, rookie Marcus Bow could remain in the lineup after showing promise in extended duty.

The running game also saw a fresh wrinkle, as rookie Cam Skattebo capitalized on a reduced role for Tyrone Tracy, emerging as New York’s leading rusher with 45 yards on 11 carries. With Xavier Gipson likely to reclaim kickoff duties, Tracy could see his offensive workload rebound, giving Daboll more flexibility in the backfield. That added punch might be crucial against a Chiefs defense that has held its ground versus the run, limiting opponents to just 106 rushing yards per game and ranking seventh in the league in yards allowed per attempt.

Kansas City Chiefs team news

The Chiefs find themselves in uncharted waters, opening the season 0-2 and riding a three-game skid that stretches back to February's Super Bowl heartbreak. Tight losses to the Chargers (27-21) and Eagles (20-17) have stung, sparking whispers about whether Kansas City's dominant run under Andy Reid is beginning to show cracks.

Patrick Mahomes has been left carrying more of the load than usual, with his supporting cast struggling to step up and a defense that hasn’t delivered the clutch moments fans have grown accustomed to. To make matters trickier, the Chiefs' first injury report of Week 3 listed 11 names ahead of their primetime clash with the Giants.

The good news? Mahomes, who is nursing a sore right wrist, practiced fully and is expected to be under center on Sunday. Rookie lineman Josh Simmons sat out portions of practice with an illness, while speedster Xavier Worthy was limited after picking up a shoulder knock in the Week 1 loss to Los Angeles. Kansas City will be hoping all three are fit enough to contribute as they look to stop the slide and spark a turnaround at MetLife.

Giants vs Chiefs Fantasy Football

Russell Wilson (16.4 projected W3 fpts) looks set for another statement outing against a Kansas City defense that’s giving up 218.8 passing yards per contest. Fresh off a jaw-dropping 450-yard, three-score performance in the overtime heartbreaker to Dallas, the veteran has reminded everyone that his arm talent and poise under pressure remain very much intact. With his comfort in primetime settings and growing rapport with New York’s receiving unit, Wilson could once again tilt the balance under the Sunday night spotlight.

Kansas City’s secondary has been anything but airtight, surrendering 304 yards and three touchdowns to Justin Herbert in Week 1. Wilson has a deep arsenal to work with, led by rising rookie Malik Nabers (12.1 projected W3 fpts), who’s shaken off concussion worries to quickly become a go-to option. Add in Wan’Dale Robinson (6.0) and Darius Slayton (4.2) for depth, plus a sturdier offensive line, and the Giants look poised to let Wilson operate with time and rhythm.

On the flip side, Patrick Mahomes (20.2 projected W3 fpts) finds himself in uncharacteristic territory. Through two games, he’s hitting on just 58.8% of his throws for 6.5 yards per attempt, with two touchdowns against one interception. Without sharper execution, Kansas City risks not only stumbling out of the playoff picture but also snapping their nine-year stranglehold on the AFC West crown.

The lack of firepower around Mahomes is glaring. With Rashee Rice sidelined by suspension and Xavier Worthy still nursing a shoulder issue from Week 1, the offense has lacked punch. Even Travis Kelce (6.6 projected W3 fpts) has looked mortal, with a costly drop and just 108 yards to his name so far. Combine that with an offensive line springing leaks early in the season, and pass rusher Brian Burns could have a field day exposing those cracks in front of a national audience.

Giants vs Chiefs Game Predictions

The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t exactly dazzled through the opening two weeks, but it’s worth remembering the caliber of opposition they’ve faced. Going toe-to-toe with the Chargers and Eagles isn’t an easy way to kick off a season, and now they’ll square up against a struggling New York Giants side. For what it’s worth, Kansas City’s Net Yards per Play sits at +0.5 through two games—a figure that actually tops the number they posted during last year’s 15-2 campaign.

As for Russell Wilson’s 450-yard showcase against Dallas, it feels more like an outlier than a sign of things to come. His recent body of work suggests last week’s explosion was more mirage than momentum. And while the Giants have had the benefit of a softer schedule out of the gate, their underlying numbers don’t look much different from Kansas City’s.

According to ESPN’s projections, the Giants carry just a 33.2% chance of pulling off the upset in Week 3, with the sliver of remaining probability left for a tie. The odds may say New York has a puncher’s chance, but on paper, this matchup looks like Kansas City’s opportunity to finally right the ship.
