NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bills vs. Chiefs
Bills vs. Chiefs
These two teams entered the year as prohibitive AFC favorites, but I'm just not sure either team has the goods to make a run this year. While Kansas City's defense is strong, and the Patrick Mahomes-Travis Kelce connection is the league's best, Kansas City's lack of viable wide receivers could be the team's ultimate Achilles' heel. Meanwhile, Buffalo hasn't recovered from the rash of injuries the team suffered on defense earlier in the year, and the Bills have blown their fair share of games this year. I could this when Buffalo was getting three points, and still lean Buffalo even at +1.5. The spot favors Buffalo, who is coming off a bye while Kansas City returns home after losing at Green Bay. And I don't think Kansas City has the firepower on the outside to exploit Buffalo's ailing secondary. I also don't mind a play on the over, as both teams should come out guns blazing in a massive game.
Pick: Bills +1.5

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
