Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.
New England Patriots at Kansas City Chiefs under-47 ½ points: $440 to win $400
I prefer to play sides in the NFL, but I’m also against backing a road favorite and don’t really have confidence in the Chiefs, so I decided to take a look at the points and cheer for some defense tonight.
New England and Kansas City are a combined 4-of-6 on the under this year. The Patriots could only muster a 16-9 win over the Oakland Raiders last week and two weeks ago, the Chiefs held the Broncos to 24 points.
Jamaal Charles is expected to play for Kansas City, which I think helps my case. The Chiefs’ game plan against Denver was to keep Peyton Manning on the sidelines with long, sustained offensive drives. If Charles is close to full health, I like Kansas City’s chances of picking up some key first downs and trying a similar strategy against Tom Brady.
Standings: Standings: Bern (47-38-1, $12,921), Keefer (44-45, $11,121), Brewer (39-46-3, $5,075)
