Kansas City Chiefs vs. Green Bay Packers Spread
Team | Spread | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|---|
Packers | -1 | 42% | 41% |
Chiefs | +1 | 58% | 59% |
Andy Reid hasn't come out and said that the starters won't be playing but after Patrick Mahomes played two series in the second preseason game, it's probably a safe bet to assume the veterans won't play. Expect to see a lot of Jordan Love who threw three picks against San Francisco and then looked fairly mediocre throwing for just 113 yards on 24 attempts against New Orleans. If he struggles again, the Chiefs might be in a good spot to cover.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Green Bay Packers Moneyline
Team | ML | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|---|
Packers | -120 | 30% | 38% |
Chiefs | +100 | 70% | 62% |
After losing to the Bears in the preseason opener, the Chiefs bounced back with a 24-14 win over the Commanders. Patrick Mahomes played and looked stellar leading two touchdown drives. He likely won't go today but Shane Buechele held it down going 8 of 15 for 70 yards and another 35 on the ground. Getting the Chiefs at even money is some nice value, even if it is a preseason game.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Green Bay Packers Total
O/U | Total | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|---|
Over | 36 | 89% | 87% |
Under | 36 | 11% | 13% |
The public isn't considering the under and neither should you. An under in a preseason game? Come on now! 89% of the bets are on the over at just 36 points. That's a pretty small number for two of the best offensive minds in the game. Again, even without Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes, you should look for both of these teams to get in the endzone a few times.
