Patrick Everson spoke to oddsmakers about big bets and who the sharps like in a huge football weekend. Plus how Travis Kelce's injury shifted the NFL opening night spread significantlly.
Prior to that news, most sportsbooks had the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs as favorites of 6.5/7 points. Now, the line is down to -4.5.
"Everyone has an eye peeled for news on the Kelce injury. The current line seems like it's more likely he will play than not," said Chris Fargis, senior director of trading risk for Fanatics Sportsbook. As of Wednesday night, Chiefs bettors seem unfazed by the news, particularly on the moneyline, currently Chiefs -225/Lions +185.
"Customers are piling into Chiefs moneyline bets. We're seeing about six times the Chiefs bets vs. the Lions on the moneyline," Fargis said."Tons of parlays for the weekend are leading off with Chiefs moneyline on Thursday. The book needs the Lions here, for sure." With that moneyline play – be it on straight bets or parlays – the Lions simply covering the 4.5-point spread likely isn't enough for oddsmakers. Fanatics and many others will be rooting for an outright Detroit upset.Dianna Russini joins Colin Cowherd on the Herd to discuss the latest news on Travis Kelce’s hyperextended knee injury.Circa Sports actually got as low as Chiefs -4 in the wake of the Kelce news.
