Betting on the Kansas City Chiefs
- Season record: 10-3
- Spread: -14
- Moneyline: -850

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a much tighter than expected 34-28 win over the Denver Broncos. In fact, it was anticipated that the margin between the two teams would be higher than 8 points. The match was 27-0 in the second quarter, so this was almost accomplished; however, two straight touchdowns by Denver cut that margin in half.
Among their last five games there is only one loss, an away game against the Cincinnati Bengals in which they fell 24-27. This loss, though, doesn’t prevent them from leading the AFC West. In terms of injuries, the only confirmed absence for Sunday is that of Kadarius Toney.
Finally, let’s review some relevant numbers: the Chiefs average 29.5 points per game on average, with 22.0 allowed. In yards, they total 434.6 (320 passing and 114.6, rushing) and 364.5 yards allowed (258.4 passing and 106.2, rushing).
Betting on the Houston Texans
- Season record: 1-11-1

Moreover, the bad news is piling up as they have several injuries ahead of Sunday’s clash, including Nico Collins, Kurt Hinish, Troy Hairston, Justin McCray and Derek Stingley Jr.
Going by the numbers, they average 16.2 points scored per game and 24.2 points allowed. In terms of yards, they total 303.2, of which 213.3 were passing and 89.9, rushing; while oppontent yards came to 392.8, with 226.9 passing and 165.8, rushing.
JefeBet Prediction

Nothing foresees that the Texans’ current situation can be reversed on Sunday, not even because of the historical legacy, given that the Chiefs lead the record by 8-5. Therefore, for JefeBet, Kansas City Chiefs will win.
Prediction: Chiefs win and cover the Spread (KC 31 – HOU 13).
