Cardinals vs. Chiefs TV Coverage: CBS
Arizona Cardinals
Arizona has a bet on NFL record of 2-6 straight up but 4-2-1 vs. the odds with five unders. Last week the Cardinals scored an 18-15 home payout over San Francisco. Oddsmakers know that the Redbirds are a tough sell. Thus, they sweeten the pot with extra good prices to entice betting action. As bad as the Cardinals have been, they have lost only one of their last six games on the board. Overall Arizona ranks dead last for total offense and 22nd for defense. Rookie quarterback Josh Rosen is having brutal on the job training.
Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City has an offshore bookmaker record of 8-1 both straight up and against the spread with just three unders. Last Sunday the Chiefs scored a 37-21 payout at Cleveland. For all that Kansas City leads the AFC West. More emphatically the Chiefs are the top scoring team in the NFL. However, defense remains a concern for championship viability. KC ranks 31st in the NFL for overall defense and 20th for points allowed. Of course, Mahomes has a 116.7 rating with 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Stats to Consider
Kansas City has significantly increased in wagering value as a home chalk. For example, the Chiefs have paid in six of their last eight laying points at Arrowhead Stadium. Eight of their last nine as home favorites have also gone under the number. Counter to that is Arizona’s poor wagering value as a road dog. Consider the Cardinals getting the money in just three of their last 12 in that role. Arizona has gone over in 11 of their last 14 when getting points on the road.
Team vs. Team
Head to head Kansas City has held a slight edge with Arizona. To show the Chiefs have covered four of their last seven games with Arizona. Five of the last eight meetings in this series have gone under the total. So too has KC dominated the Cardinals at Arrowhead Stadium. On the whole the Chiefs have paid in three straight home games with Arizona. Two of those three games went over the total.
Matchup to Watch
Certainly, this is a huge number for the Chiefs. Cause by their overwhelming offensive firepower do they have the Bet on NFL matchup advantage. Owing to Kansas City’s good value at Arrowhead is enhanced confidence.
