Chiefs vs. Lions Point Spread
Matt Stafford should have a big game throwing against the Chiefs defense at home in this week 2 game. Their defense is greatly improved this year as well. The Chiefs didn’t show us anything last week to give us reason to believe they can win this game, and they could get rolled against the Lions.
I’ll probably wait to see if I can get -7 or -7.5 on the Lions point spread before I place a bet, but if I can’t, I’m hoping -8 will still be available at Bodog. I don’t like the Chiefs chances in this game, and I’ll take them at -8 if I have to. If you want to bet on the Lions point spread now, you can get them at -8 (-110) at Bodog, or -9 (+105) at BetOnline.
If you prefer the Chiefs and taking the points, bettors can get +9 (-125) at BetOnline, or +8 (-110) at Bodog.
Lions vs. Chiefs Money Line
The latest Lions money line is -370 at BetOnline, or -400 at Bodog. For the Chiefs, the best money line is also at BetOnline, at +310.
I don’t see value in either of the money lines. Too many crazy things happen in football to justify -370 on the Lions, and +310 on the Chiefs isn’t enough quite enough to convince me either. If the Chiefs get to +340 or better, I might make a small bet on them instead of taking the Lions on the spread, but I’ll have to wait a couple more days to see where the lines are going.
Chiefs vs. Lions Over/Under Betting Odds
This is a tough over/under to predict because I figure the week 1 game for the Chiefs to be a bit of a fluke. With a total currently at 45 (-110), I think I’ll be taking the under, hoping for a score in the 27-14 range. Even 27-17 gives us a win on the under, and I think of score of that or lower is very possible.
Bet on Kansas City Chiefs vs. Detroit Lions
For this Chiefs vs. Lions game, I’ll be waiting until game day to make my bets. I think I’ll be taking the Lions on the point spread, but if not, I’ll be taking the Chiefs on the money line (see above for explanation). For the over/under, I’ll be taking the under. The over/under is my favorite bet for this game, at u45 (-110) at BetOnline.
