## Overview

The Kansas City Chiefs (5-0, W5) travel to Lumen Field to face the Seattle Seahawks (3-3, L2) on Sunday, October 25, 2026, with kickoff at 8:20 PM ET on NBC. The forecast calls for light rain, 52 degrees and seven mph wind, with a 30 percent chance of precipitation.

Kansas City has outscored opponents 140-83 and has won five straight to open the season. The Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 in Week 6, following wins over the Las Vegas Raiders (30-27), the Miami Dolphins (24-10), the Indianapolis Colts (33-30) and the Denver Broncos (31-10).

Seattle has dropped two in a row, falling 17-14 in overtime at the Denver Broncos in Week 6 and 29-32 at home to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. Before that stretch the Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 in Week 4, lost 31-33 at the Washington Commanders in Week 3, and beat the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 in Week 2. Seattle has outscored opponents 148-122 this season. The market favors the Seahawks by 3.0 points with a total of 42.0, but Kansas City's unbeaten record and a defense that has allowed just 83 points give the Chiefs the edge entering this one.

## Key players

Patrick Mahomes completed 23 of 30 passes for 272 yards in Week 6, earning his 100th career regular season win to become the third quarterback ever with 100 regular season wins in his first 10 seasons, and he aims for his fifth straight game with 225-plus passing yards.

[Travis Kelce](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/travis-kelce) needs 35 receiving yards to pass Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history, including the postseason, and needs three catches to pass Marvin Harrison for the fifth-most receptions ever, though he was limited in practice this week with no game status yet.

[Kenneth Walker III](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/kenneth-walker-iii) ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns last week, becoming the third player in the Super Bowl era with two-plus touchdowns in four of his team's first five games of a season, and he projects for 22.5 DraftKings points this week.

[Jaxon Smith-Njigba](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/jaxon-smith-njigba) leads the NFL with 717 receiving yards and is tied for first with 49 receptions, and he can become just the fourth player in the Super Bowl era with 100-plus receiving yards in six of his first seven games of a season.

[Sam Darnold](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/sam-darnold) threw for 278 yards in Week 6 and has a touchdown pass in three of his past four games, giving Seattle a passing attack that projects for 13.0 DraftKings points against Kansas City's defense.

## Keys to the game

Contain Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who leads the NFL with 717 receiving yards, to keep Sam Darnold's passing game from controlling the night.

Lean on Kenneth Walker III's rushing attack after he piled up 139 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns last week to keep the offense balanced.

Get production from [Xavier Worthy](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/xavier-worthy) and [Tyquan Thornton](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/tyquan-thornton) in the passing game with [Rashee Rice](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/rashee-rice) sidelined by a hamstring injury.

## Fantasy angles

Start Kenneth Walker III, who projects for 22.5 DraftKings points and should see a heavy workload in the Chiefs' backfield.

Start Patrick Mahomes, projected for 17.0 DraftKings points, as a solid option on Sunday Night Football.

Sit Rashee Rice, who is out with a hamstring injury and projected for 10.5 DraftKings points he won't be around to earn.

Start Tyquan Thornton, projected for 10.5 DraftKings points, as a flex option with Rice out.

Start Travis Kelce, projected for 9.5 DraftKings points, though keep an eye on his limited practice status heading into kickoff.

## Prediction

The market sets this one at Seattle Seahawks 23, Kansas City Chiefs 20, with the Seahawks favored by 3.0 points and a total of 42.0. That line points to a tight, low-scoring battle in which Kansas City's defense, which has allowed just 83 points through five games, needs to force a few more stops than Seattle's offense can answer for the Chiefs to keep their unbeaten streak alive.
