The Chiefs vs. Patriots betting odds for this Thursday Night Football game, kicking off the new NFL season, had New England as a big 9 point favorite. The line has skyrocketed from -7 in the last few days.
Michael Reiss of ESPN.com says that, with no real challengers and a roster seemingly improved over last year, don’t be surprised to see New England rattle off another 13-win season. They were coming in with an OVER/UNDER of 12.5, slightly favored to win OVER that number at -115.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, have won 11 games or more in three of their last four seasons. They were slightly favored to win UNDER 9 regular season games, a good bet on the OVER perhaps. We just don’t see them winning the Week 1 game, though the loss of Julian Edelman gives them some hope.
