They were certainly aided by a clear defensive pass interference no-call and an abysmally slow-developing running play the Falcons called on the decisive fourth down, but Kansas City survived for a 22-17 win.

The Chiefs will win, say nine of 10 Dallas Morning-News members: Tim Cowlishaw, Joey Hayden, David Moore, Abraham Nudelstejer, Damon Marx, Dana Larson, Newy Scruggs, Craig Miller and Kevin Sherrington. The pick for Atlanta: Calvin Watkins.

Sept. 22 (kicking off at 8:20 p.m. ET), the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) play the Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and are expected to prevail but by less than a TD, 23-20
