The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Indianapolis Colts in a 2026 NFL Week 2 Sunday Night Football match at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.

Kansas City enters the contest 1–0 after defeating the Denver Broncos 31–10 in Week 1. Indianapolis is 0–1 after a 41–23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and has reportedly lost eight consecutive games dating back to last season.

CBS Sports lists the Chiefs as six-point favourites, with the total at 45.5 points. Kansas City won the previous cited meeting between the teams, defeating Indianapolis 23–20 in November 2025.

CBS Sports analyst R.J. White has recommended the under at 46.5 points, citing recent scoring patterns and the return of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Colts quarterback Daniel Jones from injury. The source’s 46.5-point figure differs from the listed 45.5 total, indicating the market may have moved or that different lines are being referenced.

The under has reportedly applied in eight of the teams’ past 10 meetings and in nine of Kansas City’s past 10 games, including each of the Chiefs’ last six. Betting lines and injury information remain time-sensitive.
