There aren't many other teams who would be favored despite missing two of their three best players, going against an opponent favored to win its division. In fact, there might just be one.
And the Kansas City Chiefs are favored by more than a field goal, too.
We assume that the Chiefs just need Patrick Mahomes on the field to be successful, and to be fair, they've earned that. They won a Super Bowl and Mahomes won an MVP last season after trading Tyreek Hill. But winning and covering on Thursday night against the Detroit Lions, perhaps without tight end Travis Kelce and defensive lineman Chris Jones, won't be easy.
