The Kansas City Chiefs (4-1) open the week as rare road favorites against the Buffalo Bills (4-1) when the two face off in their rescheduled game on Monday.
BetMGM’s betting lines for Week 6 have the Chiefs listed as favorites over the Bills. Both teams unexpectedly lost their Week 5 matchups to teams viewed as inferior opponents. Still, it’s a bit surprising to see Kansas City favored in a road matchup against another good football team. Oddsmakers tend to favor the home team.
At BetMGM, the Chiefs are currently listed as 4-point favorites over the Buffalo. The current money line is at -200 for Kansas City and +170 for the Bills. The over/under point total is set at 57.5 points. The Chiefs have an implied win probability of 66.67% in this matchup
The last time Kansas City opened up as a favorite on the road following a loss was Week 11 of the 2019 season. After losing a winnable game to the Tennessee Titans, they went on the road to face the Los Angeles Chargers in a neutral stadium in Mexico City. This game has a familiar feeling apart from playing on neutral ground.
Both the Bills and the Chiefs are coming off a loss in Week 5 and will be highly motivated to perform better heading into this game. It should make for some theatrics in the early evening on Monday between two of the most promising young quarterbacks in the game.
