Gambling911.com has your Lions-Chiefs Daily Fantasy NFL picks and betting odds for Week 8.

The Chiefs are a -5 home favorite in this game with a total of 45.5.

What to Consider for the Lions: Detroit is allowing higher than the norm fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and running backs.  The Lions had allowed four touchdowns to tight ends so far this year coming into Week 6.

What to Consider for the Chiefs: The Chiefs are among the worst teams when it comes to defending the pass but are tough against opposing running backs, thus making Detroit’s Ameer Abdullah ($3K) a sit out on Sunday.

Who to Play:

Travis Kelce ($5K) – It’s almost a given to play Kelce with Detroit ineffective against opposing tight ends and he is one of the best in the league right now.

Kelce secured 5-of-6 targets for 73 yards in the Chiefs' Week 7 win over the Steelers.
