The Kansas City Chiefs have a surprising amount of questions to answer for one of the NFL's rare undefeated teams. The New Orleans Saints have far more questions to face than they did two weeks ago, following a total collapse after a dominant start.
Some questions will find their answers in Week 5 as the Saints visit Arrowhead for a Week 5 showdown in primetime on Monday Night Football.
The line for Monday Night Football is an interesting one given the questions on both sides.
For now, the line between both teams is at 5.5 points in favor of the Chiefs, the home team, which means that the line is really only 3.5 points in favor of K.C. on a neutral site. That's an interesting line for a team that's one of only two unbeaten teams remaining after the first four games of the season—the other being the Minnesota Vikings.
The Chiefs might be 4-0, but they've now lost their top two wide receivers and their top running back to long-term injuries. The offensive results have been less than stellar thus far, as the team's defense has been forced to do the heavy lifting toward their perfect record. On the one hand, the idea of K.C. continuing to win in spite of a shaky offense is scary to opponents, but a shaky offense is unsettling to the Chiefs.
As for the Saints, they're not without plenty of questions either. New Orleans started the season with a 2-0 record aided by over 90 points scored and they still hold the title of the NFL's top scoring offense—even after losing the last two games. In one appearance, it can seem like Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara, and Derek Carr can form a powerful trio of a dangerous team, yet the last two weeks have looked tame in losses to the Falcons and Eagles.
How shaky are the Chiefs? How real are the Saints? It's the reason why the line sits where it does heading into Monday Night Football.
