What does this mean? It means they are almost always going to be favored...and the majority of gambling money will be placed on them.
This traps them in a financial box...if KC is favored by 5 points and all the bets are coming in on them, they have a 4 point margin in which they have to work.
Vegas hates teams like KC...would rather everyone be the Titans...where they can go either direction on a given week without anyone batting an eye.
The good news is the Bengals have beaten KC 3 straight times...and the Bills also beat them earlier this season. This could play out big in the post-season as KC might be the underdog...which gives them the wiggle room to score at will...as long as the money is grossly on them.
KC's "hot and cold" streaks are spread driven...it's not that they are bored or uninterested.
KC had an 8.5 point window to work with yesterday...how many times have you ever seen Mahomes throw into quadruple coverage? That 3rd INT protected the spread. They were up by 6 and even a FG kills millions for Vegas..

Vegas wanted people to take the under yesterday.
Which is why I thought the over was going to be the bet on that game and even had pushback on the Broncos scoring 20.
