All of the bets you should make on Chief | general | Forum

If it's felt like your Monday has been moving slower than usual, don't worry, you're not alone. We've all just been staring at the clock waiting for tonight's Monday Night Football game between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs.It's such a great matchup that I've repeatedly been caught off-guard by it. I'm old enough to remember a couple of years ago when there was an unspoken agreement that said Monday Night Football was only able to show games nobody really wanted to watch unle s they were the only game on. Who could forget all those thrilling games between the Broncos and Chargers, or the Giants and The Team Now Known As Football Team battling for third place in the NFC East? Monday nights were the original Thursday nights for a while there.But now we get marquee matchups featuring two of the best quarterbacks in the . A game that has a legitimate chance to be a preview of the AFC Championship Game. I only wish I could go back in time to tell 2018 Tom that all his Monday night suffering would be validated one day. All it took was roughly 15 different MNF booth combinations and a pandemic to get there!To help fill the time that remains between now and kick, catch up on today Nick Holden Kids Jersey 's reading. . . . .OK, is it time for kickoff yet?. The Hot Ticket The Pick: Chiefs +3.5 (-110): Betting the NFL is complicated, and I tell you this despite going 3-0 in my bets on Sunday. There's so much action on that sportsbooks devote an ungodly amount of time and energy to nailing every aspect of their lines, making it exceedingly difficult to find an edge you can exploit. That's why sometimes you don't need math and just some common J T Miller Women Jersey sense.When you're getting points with Patrick Mahomes, take the points.Yes, Baltimore is a very good team, and it has its own outstanding quarterback in Lamar Jackson. The Ravens could easily win this game and might go on to win the this year. But we're talking about Patrick Mahomes here. And he's getting points. The Chiefs have been underdogs with Mahomes as their starter six times, and they've gone 5-0-1 against the spread. The lone push was their thrilling 54-51 lo s to the Rams on Monday Night Football last season. As fantastic as Lamar Jackson is, the Ravens are only 4-7 ATS when favored at home with him at QB.Don't overthink this one. It might not win, but it won't be because you were wrong. Key Trend: The Chiefs are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 road games.The SportsLine projection model and is overwhelmingly leaning one way. The Picks NHLThe Pick: Over 5 (-140) –Oh, by the way, a team could hoist the Stanley Cup tonight. The Lightning hold a 3-2 series lead on the Stars heading into Game 6. So will it happen? Honestly, I don't know. If I were to take the money line in this one, I'd lean Dallas just because +140 seems like a fair price on a team that's only been beaten by multiple goals once in the series. I like the total better, though, because the Over is 2-0-3 in the series. None of the first five games have featured fewer than five goals, and overall this series is averaging 6.2 goals per game.Key Trend: The over is 17-5-4 in the past 26 meetings between these teams. NFL The Pick: Over 55 (-110) –Listen, with a limited slate of games tonight, we might as well double-dip (and then triple and quadruple-dip) on Monday Night Football. Let's attack the total as well by expecting this game to be as fun as it looks like it'll be on paper. When these two teams met last season, the score was 33 Brett Howden Jersey -28. Patrick Mahomes threw for 374 yards and three touchdowns and did so despite Kansas City not having Tyreek Hill available. Tonight the Ravens will be without Tavon Mike Richter Women Jersey Young in the secondary, and you don't ever want to be thin in the secondary against Mahomes. The Ravens, meanwhile, are going against a Chiefs defense that was bad against the run last year and doesn't look any better against it this year. Through two weeks of the season, the Chiefs rush defense ranks 27th in the NFL in DVOA. That's good news for the Ravens offense. This game could easily be the back-and-forth touchdown fest we're all hoping for.Since today is so light on games, we have a pick for you on a game that will be played before tomorrow's newsletter is sent out.

The DFS Rundown Your MVP or CaptainLamar Jackson ($16.5K FD/$13K DK) — This is a slight fade attempt. If you're playing the single-game slate tonight, odds are most people are going to shoehorn both Jackson and Patrick Mahomes into their lineups and go from there. I expect more people will be tempted to put Mahomes in their MVP or Captain spot, so let's go against the grain with Lamar Jackson. He always carries a high floor thanks to his rushing ability, and there's a better than average chance he outscores Mahomes. ValueMiles Boykin, WR ($7K FD/$3.4K DK) — Boykin hasn't put up great numbers through two games. He's been targeted nine times and has Cody Mcleod Women Jersey seven receptions for 75 yards and no touchdowns. The first score could come tonight, though. Lamar Jackson's favorite target is Mark Andrews, and he'll be heavily-owned tonight. But, the Chiefs have Tyrann Mathieu. He's one of the few corners in the league that can neutralize Andrews. Boykin could be the beneficiary of a lot more targets tonight because of it. Full lineup advice SportsLine's team of DFS insiders has you covered for daily fantasy sports.
