The Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Sunday Night Football action this week. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are no strangers to prime-time games and I’m betting on Andy Reid to rely on his superstar quarterback once again.
I’m also expecting a run-heavy approach from the Falcons in this Week 3 matchup, which has me backing Bijan Robinson and fading Kirk Cousins. Here are my three favorite Chiefs vs. Falcons props and NFL picks for Sunday, September 22.
For a full breakdown of the game, Josh Inglis is offering his Chiefs vs. Falcons predictions as well.

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich kept their hopes of a treble alive after beating Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Saturday to win the German Cup for the 20th time.
David Alaba gave Bayern the lead with a free-kick in the 16th minute after Robert Lewandowski was fouled at the edge of the box.

Bayern doubled the lead when Joshua Kimmich released Serge Gnabry down the right channel and the winger’s uncontested shot nestled into the bottom corner for the 24-year-old’s 20th goal of the season.
Lewandowski made it 3-0 when he let fly a thunderous strike from range straight at Lukas Hradecky a…
Old acquaintances must be forgotten by Frank Lampard as he strives to keep Everton afloat against his previous employers, and the club where he cemented legendary status over a 13-year playing career. Having lost all seven away games under Lampard Everton, who could be five points adrift of Burnley come kick off, simply cannot afford to drop points in their three remaining home fixtures. Chelsea were wasteful in their draw at Manchester United on Thursday but possess enough attacking options to capitalise on the rising pressure at Goodison Park. Andy Hunter

Liverpool have announced plans to partially open the upper tier of the new Anfield Road stand when Manchester United visit on 17 December.
The £80m project has been beset by problems and the upper tier had not been expected to open until 2024 after the main contractor, Buckingham Group, went into administration.
However, Buckingham’s replacement, Rayner Rowen Construction, are ahead of schedule and Liverpool hope to finally allow fans into the upper tier when United visit Anfield next month.
Approximately half of the upper tier is expected to open on 17 December, subject to Liverpool acquiring a safety licence. A public test event requiring 3,000 people will take place the week before an…
The New York Mets have been the story in baseball this week. For once, it’s not bad news.The famed McDonald’s mascot, Grimace, did not have his birthday celebrated with a milkshake this year. That’s likely due to the viral nature of last year’s promotion, which took the internet by storm for all the wrong reasons.Instead, the mascot celebrated his birth month by throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at Citi Field on June 12 before the Mets faced the Miami Marlins. Since that moment, the Mets are 7-0. They’ve won eight of their last 10 games, including a win over the World Series champion Texas Rangers.Out of nowhere, the Mets are one of baseball’s hottest teams. And it’s all thanks to Grimace.This first pitch was a local promotion, not orchestrated by the national McDonald&…
What's coming up in the world of minor league baseball … we proudly present you with Rick Chandler's Minor Enterprise! Does it seem as if Stubby Clapp Day is getting more and more commercialized every year? It used to be all about Stubby Clapp; the former Memphis Redbirds infielder who holds four franchise records. But now it's just about the presents. No other Memphis Redbird has worn No. 10 since Clapp left. In his four years in Memphis, Clapp hit .269 with 87 doubles, 19 triples, 222 walks and 258 runs scored. He holds the career records for doubles, triples, walks and runs. Following the game between Memphis and Omaha there will be an on-field ceremony to retire Clapp's jersey. Fireworks will follow the ceremony. To buy your Stubby 10 Pack or to purchase remai…
Some people are fans of the Arizona Cardinals. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Arizona Cardinals. This 2019 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Arizona Cardinals Your 2018 record: 3-13. Not bowl eligible. Outscored by a total of 200 points across 16 games. Even the Jaguars outscored these humps. How’d the Cardinals manage it? Well, dear reader, STRAP IN and I’ll tell you the tale of this broken down cheeseburger egg roll caravan out in the desert… First off, they signed the pile of discarded sandwich crusts that is Sam Bradford to a deal with $15 million guaranteed and released him in the middle of the season. They also signed Brad Johnson neck transplant recipient Mike Glennon to a deal and lat…
As anyone in media will be quick to tell you, this has been one long, grueling election. We’ve seen pope feuds, rigged podiums, and Ted Cruz’s innards. But for all its scandal and intrigue, this election has been largely devoid of one thing in particular: Motherfucking answers. In my time covering the various (largely Republican) campaigns for Gawker and, later, Deadspin, I’ve often sought comment from campaign spokespersons or Jeb. Sometimes, I’d get my answer. Usually, I would not. Were my questions occasionally blatant traps that offered no good solutions? I don’t know, maybe. Do the American people deserve The Truth regardless? Undoubtedly yes. In the spirit of transparency and justice, here are all the questions the 2016 campaigns were too afraid to answer. There’s…
Some people are fans of the Buffalo Bills. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Buffalo Bills. This 2013 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the 2013 NFL previews so far right here. Your team: Buffalo Bills Your 2012 record: 6-10 after a 2-1 start. Every year, the Bills win one game early, and that one win—even if it's against a shitty opponent—is enough to turn every dumbfuck Bills fan into Ron Jaworski. I TELL YOU WHAT I REALLY LIKE THE BUFFALO BILLS I THINK THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO BE AN OUTSTANDING TEAM IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. It takes virtually nothing to sucker these people in. They are the lab rat that keeps getting shocked by the electrified cheese. Your coach: Doug Marrone, who went 25-25 as the head coach of Syrac…
