The Dolphins-Chiefs line has remained at or near the number 4 win only a half point move upwards this week. This is a little bit of an unusual spread in that the Chiefs have begun to win games and Arrow Stadium has always been known as one of the toughest places to play even when the Chiefs were not very good. Kansas City got off to a slow start but they have since won four straight including an overtime game at home against San Diego. KC is suddenly at 4-3 and every much in the hunt to win the AFC West. The Chiefs, in fact, would pay out $245 on a $100 bet should they win their division or $24.50 for every $10 bet.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, remain one of two winless teams (the other being Indianapolis).
Having Kansas City as a -4 point favorite looks to us like a “sucker bet” especially when one considers that the Dolphins are Dolphins are 1-8-1 Against The Spread in their last 10 games overall. That should speak volumes.
That said, as good as Kansas City tends to play at home (they only lost one meaningless game there last season and one disastrous Week 1 loss there to Buffalo this season), the Chiefs are not wining definitively at home, and this is evident in the fact that they are just 3-10-1 Against The Spread in their last 14 games as a home favorite.
“(Miami Dolphins quarterback) Matt Moore is athletic but he is not the other ‘A’ word, accurate,” noted Pat Williams of DonBest.com. “Matt Moore’s inaccuracy is costing this team, especially on third down.”
The public is all over Kansas City and that is sometimes an ominous sign though we really can’t say we blame them. Gambling911.com would back Kansas City in this game as well against the spread.
Let’s now go to the video betting preview for this game.
