Kansas City Chiefs Odds, Betting Tips
The Kansas City Chiefs were sitting at No. 6 on the Sagarin Ratings with a number of 25.06 heading into their December 31 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Despite their recent woes, KC can clinch a playoff berth in Week 17 with either a win or tie against the Cincinnati Bengals. They were listed as the -6.5 favorite against Cincy.
The frustration showed last week as star tight end Travis Kelce threw his helmet on the sideline in that loss to Las Vegas. They've now lost three of their last four.
"People see frustration and they think it causes controversy," Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. "I see it as a way of showing that people care. They care about their profession, they care about trying to do whatever they can to win games.
"When I see stuff like that happen, obviously, we want to be in a positive light and everything like that, but I see someone that cares about the game and someone that wants to be better and not better for themselves but for the team."

The Chiefs host the Las Vegas Raiders as a -10.5 favorite on Christmas Day with kickoff starting at 1 pm ET.
Kansas City entered this game with a 9-5 record Straight Up but were sitting at the .500 mark (7-7) Against The Spread. They have lost three of their last five games.
The Chiefs should win Monday as they are 9-1 in the last ten against Las Vegas. Four of the last five were won by more than the current spread as well.
We get a number of 10.36 Chiefs but the favorites will be missing some key pieces in this one while the Raiders expect to have Josh Jacobs back on the field.
The Chiefs on Saturday ruled out embattled wide receiver Kadarius Toney with a hip injury, along with third-down back Jerick McKinnon because of a groin injury and left tackle Donovan Smith, who will miss his third consecutive game with a neck injury.
The Chiefs put Skyy Moore on injured reserve earlier this week with a knee injury, so the loss of Toney further depletes a receiver corps that has struggled all season.
As bad as this all sounds, none of this seems to have had an effect on the line. The number on this game has moved between 10 and 10.5 throughout the week.
