Chiefs Looking Good Against NFL Online Sportsbook Betting Odds
December 26, 2010
The Kansas City Chiefs will be looking to take another step toward their unexpected, but very real, opportunity to win the AFC West when they host the dysfunctional Tennessee Titans in Week 16 at Arrowhead Stadium and I, for one, think the Chiefs are looking pretty damned good against the Online Sportsbook betting odds.

NFL Odds
Kansas City Chiefs -5
Over/Under 42.5
Here is a look at the key head-to-head trends surrounding this matchup.
- Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
- Road team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.
Tennessee 411
- Titans are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog of 3.5-10.0.
- Titans are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 vs. AFC.
- Titans are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
- Titans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
- Titans are 3-11 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
Tennessee (6-8 SU, 7-7 ATS, 8-6 O/U) is coming off a surprising 31-17 smackdown over the underachieving Houston Texans where they cashed in against the online sportsbook odds as a 2-point home favorite to move to 2-0 ATS over its last two games after dropping each of its five previous games against the online sportsbook betting odds.
Kansas City 411
- Chiefs are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
- Chiefs are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite of 3.5-10.0.
- Chiefs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an SU win.
- Chiefs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. AFC.
Kansas City (9-5 SU, 8-6 ATS, 6-8 O/U) got Matt Cassel back and got back in the win column behind their starting quarterback to hand the rebuilding St. Louis Rams a convincing 27-13 loss to cash in against the NFL online sportsbook betting odds as a 3-point road underdog following two straight ATS losses,
Analysis: From looking at the majority of key trends surrounding this matchup, I suspect pro football betting enthusiasts that are looking to cash in against the online sportsbook betting odds, may be led t believe the Kansas City Chiefs don’t stand a real chance to cover the spread in this one, but I say they’d be all wrong in believing that.
First and foremost, the Chiefs are playing for something pretty big in this contest as they currently sit one game ahead of the San Diego Chargers in the AFC West with just two games remaining, including their Week 17 divisional showdown against Oakland.
Prediction: I suspect the Chiefs know full well what is at stake for them in this contest and will use their top-ranked rushing attack – and 11th-ranked scoring defense (20.1 ppg) to keep the Titans in check and narrowly cover the NFL online sportsbook betting line as a 5-point home fave.
The Chiefs are 4-2 ATS at home this season and I believe they have far too much riding on the line in order to not cover the online sportsbook betting odds in this one
