Kansas City opens the season favored at home, with NFL odds giving the Chiefs -140 on the moneyline and -3 on the spread, both at standard pricing on the spread (-105). Denver gets the points at +3 and is live at +120 if backing the road upset.
A 3-point line for a Monday night opener at Arrowhead suggests the market still gives Kansas City the edge as the more proven team, while leaving real room for Denver given a relatively short number. The total sits at 42½, on the lower end for a Chiefs game, hinting at expectations of a more ground-and-pound, defense-first contest than a shootout.
