Any thoughts on the game? Crazy prop bets you like? Chiefs are 1.5 point favorite since it opened and it hasn’t changed. With a spread that low, it almost doesn’t matter. You are picking the team to win.
Because the spread is so low, the money line bets (betting on the winner with no point spread) are not very enticing. Chiefs are -128 (bet 100, win 78.13). The 49ers are +112 (bet 100, win 112). If you like the chiefs, laying the 1.5 and doubling your money is a better payoff. If you like the 49ers, then I suppose you could go money line and make slightly more but it’s so slim that taking the 1.5 may be better.
it’s funny how not having a burning hatred of one of the teams lessens the anticipation. But that’s where gambling comes in. It can make anything interesting.
I’m rooting for the Chiefs and I think they will win. Andy Reid is one of the best prep coaches around when he gets 2 weeks. The 49ers defense is all about pressure. I think Mahomes cane buy time to beat that secondary. Richard Sherman is good at covering guys when he knows that ball has to come out quick, but if he actually has to cover and of the fast KC WRs, he’s at a disadvantage.
