Gruden isn't hiding where he stands on this one. He thinks it'll be a good game, and he said so in all caps.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL! Chiefs vs Seahawks is going to be AWESOME! Watch my full preview here: t.co/BWVgx2oUqi

There's a lot to get excited about. Kansas City is 5-0 and goes into Lumen Field on Sunday, October 25, at 8:15 PM ET. Seattle is the defending Super Bowl champion, sitting at 3-3 and trying not to drop below.500. The Seahawks still opened as the favorite, so the Chiefs come in as 2.5-point underdogs in primetime, and Barstool's cut-down Chevy segment goes right after that number.

It's an ad, so take it as one. Still, the whiteboard hits the real matchups. Andy Reid against Mike Macdonald is a heavyweight coaching fight. A veteran defensive coordinator in Steve Spagnuolo against a 1st-year play-caller is the kind of mismatch Spags has been feasting on for years. And a circled 'SAM' points straight at Sam Darnold, who has thrown 7 interceptions in 4 complete games this season, with 6 of them coming in Seattle's 3 losses.

Then there's the storyline nobody can avoid. Kenneth Walker III was Super Bowl LX MVP for Seattle, signed with Kansas City in March, and leads the league with 665 rushing yards and 6 rushing touchdowns through 5 games. Now he goes back to the building where he won a ring. The betting shows have been calling it a revenge game all week.

“Kenneth Walker of the Kansas City Chiefs going back to Seattle to play the Seattle Seahawks in a big game in Seattle.”

Walker is playing it down and says he's treating it like any other week. Sure. The sharps aren't all on Gruden's side either. A referee segment on Warren Sharp's Week 7 show took Seattle laying the points, pointing to how well home teams have done with Sunday night's crew.

So the matchup is pretty simple. Seattle has the champion's banner, the home crowd and the spread. Kansas City has the unbeaten record, the league's leading rusher back in his old stadium, and Mahomes getting points in primetime, which is exactly the spot Gruden's crew says you shouldn't bet against. Kickoff is 8:15 PM ET Sunday.
