Preview the Week 8 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders with predictions, odds, over/under, spread, betting lines and more.

On Saturday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to the media and reacted to the news. "We liked him well enough to bring him in the first time. ... The more experience he gets, the better he'll be," Reid said. Pole played his college football for the Washington State Cougars. He played two seasons prior at Chabot College.

The Commanders are already extremely short at defensive end, having lost Deatrich Wise and Javonte Jean-Baptiste, and last week, Dorance Armstrong. If Payne is unable to go, that would mean Javon Kinlaw would continue to start.

The Washington Commanders have made their final call on wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel for Week 8.

Two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions meet Monday night when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Washington Commanders to cap Week 8.

Washington Commanders wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin will return to the lineup for Monday night's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
