The Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers each had breakthrough moments last week. Now they meet in primetime for Sunday Night Football Week 13.
The Chiefs fell behind by 14 to the Raiders before lighting struck as Kansas City’s offense ignited for three straight touchdowns on 70-plus yard drives. The Packers went to Detroit on Thanksgiving and played their most complete game of the season and took down the Lions.
With that in mind, let’s dig into my Chiefs vs Packers same game parlay for Sunday Night Football.

Chiefs Alt Spread -9.5
The game script behind our parlay will be based on believing that only one of those performances last week was the truth. While the Packers' win was convincing, there have been too many other games that give cause for concern. Plus, any game where the team forces three turnovers should be taken with a grain of salt.
The Chiefs, on the other hand, had the game we have been waiting to see all year. They were backed into a corner, forced to throw and then did so with ease, moving the ball up and down the field like a hot knife through butter.
The biggest note to the future was the play of rookie Rashee Rice, who had 107 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. The Chiefs have been looking for someone to step up alongside Travis Kelce and it looks like they have found their secondary option.
Kansas City has had a top-five defense all year and now seems to have found something to build on offensively. Believing in this offensive development is why Vegas has had the Chiefs as the favorites to win the Super Bowl all year.
Rashee Rice 60+ Receiving Yards
It would be wrong to hype up the Chiefs' young receiver and then leave him off of the parlay card.
Rice has only crossed this threshold three times in his young career, but his opportunity is growing. He has averaged a snap share over 60% in the last five weeks and he had a target spike last week.
Defenses are dialed in on stopping Travis Kelce, creating opportunity on the outside. With Rice answering the call each time he has been given an opportunity, his workload will only increase.
If the Chiefs live up to covering the spread, someone needs to have a big game on offense. Who better to pick than the guy earning more work?
AJ Dillon 20+ Receiving Yards
Injuries to Aaron Jones have pushed Dillon into more of a pass-catching role — he has answered the call.
Dillon has exceeded this mark in four of his last six games, and in the two he didn’t, Jones played. With Jones out, the opportunity opens up for Dillon, and we have seen head coach Matt LaFluer scheme him excellent plays.
While the Chiefs haven’t been gutted by receiving backs, they've still found success. In each of the last four games, a running back has exceeded this mark against Kansas City.
Dillon may only need one catch to cross this threshold and as the lead back, he should get three or four targets.
