Kansas City is projected to beat Minnesota by a touchdown in a high-scoring game
The Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce era of Chiefs football has been good to Kansas City so far and oddsmakers are projecting that the good times will keep rolling this week.
Kansas City (3-1) is a 5.5-point favorite against Minnesota (1-3) with the total points set at a whopping 52.5 – the highest number of Week 5.
Let’s dig into these opening odds and see what betting value there is to be had.
Chiefs vs Vikings Week 5 Opening Odds
Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes struggled at times against a ball-hawking Jets defense on Sunday Night Football, but the Vikings do not pose the same threat.
Minnesota is 25th in the NFL with 0.8 takeaways per game while also ranking 30th in the league in opponent passer rating.
When you also consider that the Vikings’ pass rush has ranked in the middle of the pack this season, it’s clear to see why Kansas City is expected to bounce back.
However, you might want to be cautious when betting on the total points.
Though this seems like a matchup built to be a high-scoring affair, the under has hit in 3-of-4 games for Minnesota this season and 2-of-4 for Kansas City.
The under has also been set at 50 points or more three times this season between both teams and has hit the under all three times.
Whichever way you want to wager on this game is up to you, but you should know that you can bet on this matchup with NO SWEAT.
