Arrowheadlines: Bettors believe the Chiefs are the safest week 1 pick

5 Questions with Arrowhead Pride: Mahomes new weapons, early season dominance and getting past the frustration of the end of last season for the Chiefs | Revenge of the Birds (Arizona Cardinals SB Nation site)

1. Are you surprised that the Chiefs are -6 point favorites on the road to open the season?

Based on what we’ve seen historically from the Chiefs under Reid and Mahomes in September? Absolutely not. But based on how the Cardinals are also traditionally fast starters too? Then sure, I am a bit surprised. Despite the Chiefs’ dominance over the regular season during the Mahomes’ tenure, Kansas City has not been very good at covering the spread.
