Kevin Haskin: Veteran characteristics could help or hurt Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs will win the Super Bowl.

At least that will be what some predict if the Chiefs open the 2017 season by beating the powerhouse Patriots in New England.

House money is what the Chiefs will be playing with on Thursday against the reigning NFL champions, ageless Tom Brady and ruthless Bill Belichick.

Oddsmakers tab Kansas City an underdog by more than a touchdown going into Foxborough. In addition, oddsmakers predict a digression from last season, when the Chiefs won a tiebreaker with the Raiders atop the AFC West at 12-4. This year, KC’s over-under for wins is just 9, though when I looked into such a wager a $140 outlay was needed to win $100.
