Kansas City Chiefs vs. Washington Redskins odds opened at Redskins -6 ½ and the line has since dropped down to -6 at most online sportsbooks including betED.com.
This game was actually getting the 4th largest betting volume at most books with lopsided action on the Redskins. Nearly 80 percent of those betting the spread believed the Chiefs will win their first game of the 2009 season or at least cover. Most of the money line action was on the Chiefs with a payout potential around $200 for every $100 bet should Kansas City win outright.
The Redskins already lost starting right guard Randy Thomas to a season-ending injury and now they will be without Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels Sunday due to a neck injury. Mike Williams -- who has not started a game since 2005 until last week -- steps in at right tackle and Stephon Heyer moves to the left side.
Scouts.com suggests that in order for Kansas City to win outright, they need to make Campbell make quick decisions and consistently change what he is seeing in terms of coverage and blitz schemes.
In recent meetings (2 this season), the Chiefs have demolished Washington.
