00:00some market movement in the first game of the weekend as the number one seed the Kansas City
00:05Chiefs very comfortable with that opening round by very comfortable inside arrowhead an AFC title
00:12once again running through KC now an eight and a half point favorite as the Chiefs get set to host
00:19the Houston Texans total stands at 41 and a half this Lions got was seven and a half for most of
00:26this week so far now eight and a half could it be just the onslaught of money backing Kansas City
00:3385 percent of the money in terms of those spread bets according to the FanDuel sportsbook all on
00:41the Chiefs a lot of public love and rightfully so on Kansas City but for a team Scott that is
00:48not great covering numbers wouldn't lay it more than a touchdown now one of the worst believe it
00:54or not in the NFL I mean they've just the second half of the season in particular I think they
00:58covered one game literally over the last two and a half months is this is kind of weird Ben you
01:04don't generally see one point line movements this early in the week albeit they play Saturday but
01:09still because you know normally all right the line will come out Sunday night maybe Monday morning
01:14depending where you do your shopping and if it's a wrong line the boys in Vegas the the wise guys
01:19if you will they'll bet that right away there's guys waiting at the window to see what the lines
01:23are if it's wrong it'll shift you know Monday or or even Sunday night Tuesday for it to shift
01:29that that's kind of weird um you know unless there's some injury that we're going to hear
01:34about later today or maybe even if it's maybe it's even Kansas City just saying all right you
01:39know what Patrick Holmes is absolutely 100 percent healthy his ankle injury completely healed um but
01:45it's kind of weird for a line to move you know albeit from seven and a half to eight and a half
01:49is not like a magic number you know six and a half to seven and a half or two and a half to
01:54three and a half would cross over but still that is that is kind of strange because all I heard
01:58yesterday Ben was all the you know the guys on the radio and tv saying how Kansas City as we
02:02just mentioned hasn't covered all season long basically and yet the line went even further up
02:08so my general rule of thumb is if I got a stinky line and it gets stinkier if I can say that then
02:16I either stay away or or bet with it even though the Texans plus you know over a touchdown and
02:21two-point conversion is very very tempting yeah you know Scott it is really intriguing as well
02:26because not only have the Chiefs not been a great cover team all season but especially when laying
02:32more than a touchdown five games this year Kansas City has been more than a touchdown favorite so
02:39seven and a hook or above or at least a seven point favorite I should say and they are 0 and
02:455 against the number they are 5 and 0 straight up but they are 0 and 5 against the spread and if
02:53you eliminate the week 18 finale for KC when it was all of their reserves in Denver a 38 point
03:00loss it's got the average margin for the Chiefs in their first 16 games 6.1 at the end of the
03:08regular season as I look at it right now that would have been eighth best in the National
03:14Football League not exactly that world beater despite 15 wins for Kansas City it's been the
03:20story of their season but when it comes to playoff pedigree nobody has more success or experience
03:27than this Chiefs team.
