If the Buffalo Bills spread against the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs spread against the Indianapolis Colts seemed too good to be true, that’s because they were.
After looking like the clear best team in the league through two weeks, the Bills went into their Week 3 game against the Dolphins as just 4.5-point favorites. And the 2-0 Chiefs were just 5.5-point favorites against the Colts, who looked like the worst team in the NFL. Surely, the favorites would each win by at least a touchdown right?
WRONG. Not only did the Bills and Chiefs fail to cover, they both lost outright. And it was a huge win for sportsbooks.
At BetMGM and other sportsbooks, Chiefs and Bills spreads were two of the three most bet on spreads by both ticket number and handle.

At Tipico Sportsbook, 77% of Bills-Dolphins moneyline bets and 91% of the handle was on Buffalo. And the Chiefs moneyline received 96% of the bets and handle. The results left bettors sick.

I definitely cursed the Chiefs by putting them on my bet slip

Spoke to a few books (and it's early) but consensus on this weekend is that the Chiefs are shaping up to be the largest single game NFL liability through 3 weeks
Amazing when you consider this offseason people bet the Colts to win the South like they already knew the the results
