A pair of Kansas City Chiefs players who regularly face off in practice will face off in a digital gridiron on Wednesday, April 1.
NFL platform The Checkdown will be hosting a “Madden NFL 20” tournament benefiting COVID-19 relief efforts. The tournament is set to feature some of the biggest names in the NFL, including two Chiefs players, going head-to-head in the first round.
Tyrann Mathieu and Tyreek Hill will play each other a 6 p.m. CT on the official Madden Twitch channel: twitch.tv/eamaddennfl. The winner will advance to the second round of the tournament and have some pretty big bragging rights in the locker room. In the second round, the winner will face either Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen or DB Derwin James. A nice little offseason AFC West rivalry can’t hurt, right?
Odds Shark posted odds from Bovada on the upcoming tournament. While Hill is favored to win the tournament at +120, Mathieu tied for the worst odds at +2200. If there is anything I’ve learned during Mathieu’s tenure with the Chiefs, you don’t want to underestimate his ability.
I’ve seen Hill play Madden before, but Mathieu is a bit of a wild card here. Who do you have in the first round of the Madden tournament — Mathieu or Hill? Let us know your answer on Facebook and Twitter.
