Bettors kept taking the Chiefs, and Jaguars ruin all those bets with backdoor cover

Bettors, as usual, loved the Kansas City Chiefs.

The line for the Chiefs' divisional round against the Jacksonville Jaguars kept rising through the week as money kept coming in on Kansas City. It was at Chiefs -8.5 during the week, then -9 and it closed at -9.5 at BetMGM. The Chiefs got 75 percent of the money bet on the divisional round game at BetMGM.

That means there were a lot of angry bettors on Saturday evening.

The Chiefs were ahead for most of the game and leading by double digits late, but kept giving the Jaguars chances.
