The Kansas City Chiefs will welcome the Las Vegas Raiders to Arrowhead Stadium for an exciting divisional matchup. The Chiefs have scored at least 32 points in each of their last. five games against the Raiders. Meanwhile, the Raiders haven't had as much success offensively, but they do have a win over the Raiders, on the road, in 2020.
Las Vegas started the season 0-3 but could bounce back to 2-3 with a win tonight. Here's a look at the five most popular bets for the Monday Night Football game via BetMGM.
5 Most Popular Bets and Prop Bets for Monday Night Football
Chiefs vs. Raiders Against The Spread
Team | % of Bets | % of Handle | Current Spread | Opening Spread |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Raiders | 14% | 15% | +7 | +7.5 |
Chiefs | 86% | 85% | -7 | -7.5 |
The Raiders are getting no love, despite the spread dropping from 7.5 to 7. Even with 85% of the handle, the spread dropped from 7.5 to 7. Therefore, the sharpest sports bettors in the world are likely putting their money on the Raiders in this spot.
Chiefs vs. Raiders Total
% of Bets | % of Handle | Current Total | Opening Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Over | 67% | 68% | 52 | 52.5 |
Under | 33% | 32% | 52 | 52.5 |
Again, the total has dropped from 52.5 to 52, yet the public at Bet MGM is putting 68% of the handle on the Over. With the total dropping and more of the handle on the Over, it's clear that more of the sharpest action is currently on the Under.
BetMGM Most Bet Props
- Travis Kelce to Score 1st Touchdown (+500) (Bet $100 to Win $500)
- Travis Kelce to Score Anytime Touchdown (-175) (Bet $175 to Win $100)
- Patrick Mahomes Over 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+140) (Bet $140 to Win $100)
Most of the popular player prop action is on the two Chiefs stars.
Travis Kelce already has three touchdowns in four games this season. He's also been targeted 34 times this year while earning a long reception of at least 19 yards per game. Kelce's getting a ton of volume thrown his way by Mahomes and should have a ton of success against a Raiders secondary that has struggled this season. If he gets the first touchdown of the game, public bettors at BetMGM will be even happier. Meanwhile, the other popular prop bet is for Mahomes to throw three or more touchdowns. As I suggested, the secondary for the Raiders has not been very good. Mahomes should have a big day offensively. He's helped the Chiefs score at least four touchdowns in his last five games against the Raiders. There's a real possibility he finishes this game with three or more passing touchdowns, and there's good value at +140.
