Let's just agree to put yesterday's debacle behind us. The Chiefs lost to the Broncos for the first time in 8 years on Sunday, but now turn their attention to Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins in Germany for Week 9.
Just like Kansas City, Miami is 6-2 with hopes of securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC. This is a massive game with huge implications moving forward, so the Chiefs should give their best effort before the Week 10 bye.
Let's take a look at the opening odds and move on from Week 8 as quickly as possible before looking at how you can claim FanDuel Sportsbook's $150 sign-up bonus this week, too.
Chiefs vs. Dolphins Week 9 Opening Odds
The Chiefs opened as 2.5-point favorites with -146 moneyline odds and the total points set at 50.5, implying oddsmakers expect a high-scoring contest with Kansas City narrowly prevailing.
Miami is 6-2 against the spread (ATS) this season, covering in each of the team's wins. The OVER is 5-3 in Dolphins' games, in large part due to their quick-strike offensive approach.
That stands in stark contrast to the Chiefs, who utilize a more methodical gameplan highlighted by an elite defense. The UNDER is 6-2 in our games as a result, including hitting in four straight.
It'll be an interesting stylistic battle, though I like the Chiefs' chances to rebound from the Broncos loss. Kansas City is 6-1 in its last seven contests as a favorite while Miami is just 1-7 outright in its last eight as an underdog.
With such short moneyline odds, this could be the ideal time to back the Chiefs.
