Games to watch for Chiefs fans in Week 7

The Kansas City Chiefs have already played the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

That means that you can spend your entire Sunday focused on the rest of the NFL. Several of the games on Sunday will carry meaning relevant to the Chiefs. You’ll want to look at the box scores or watch the RedZone Channel on your Fubo.tv account (try it for free).

Here are the top games for Chiefs fans to keep an eye on in Week 7:

Raiders at Packers – noon CT

The Kansas City Chiefs face the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. This won’t only be a good scouting opportunity for next week’s opponent, but it’s also a chance to see the Raiders drop a game. Right now, Kansas City has a 1.5 game lead on Oakland for the AFC West division. The Raiders probably feel like they can gain ground on the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes out for a few weeks. Losing against the Packers would be a big blow to that goal.

Vikings at Lions – noon CT

The Minnesota Vikings will travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9.

Fans should want both of these teams to lose as much as possible heading into the later part of the season. You don’t want to see the Chiefs finishing with the same record as either of these teams. The ideal situation would be for the Jaguars to win the AFC South because the Chiefs hold a tie-breaker over them.

Chargers at Titans – 3:05 p.m. CT

Both of these teams are struggling right now. Nothing seems to be going right for the AFC West division rival Los Angeles Chargers who the Kansas City Chiefs will face two more times this season. The Tennessee Titans are hoping that QB Ryan Tannehill can breathe new life into their offense with Marcus Mariota heading to the bench. The Chiefs play the Titans on the road in Week 10. One team has to emerge victoriously but that doesn’t mean either team will look good during this game.
