NFL Divisional Round

Many, if not MOST, of the Chiefs fans placed bets on the Chiefs when the line opened at 7.5.
It slowly moved to 9.5, and most bettors had placed their bets BEFORE the line got to 9.5.
That ^^^^ is exactly why the betting line moves from 7.5 to 9.5.

So 1) Why were the fans booing at the end of the game?
2). Why were the announcers making such a big deal of the betting line after the safety?

Chiefs bettors suffer bad beat on safety in final seconds vs. Texans

Bettors who backed the Chiefs as 9½-point favorites Saturday over the Texans suffered an excruciating loss when Kansas City took an intentional safety.

Chiefs vs. Texans - Chiefs cover the -8.5 and win by 13.

Lions vs. Commanders - Detroit has covered the spread better than any team in the NFL this season - not today, Commanders +9 will cover the spread.

Eagles vs. Rams - Philly -6 will cover the spread.

Bills vs. Ravens - Ravens win on the road and cover the -1.

OK. So I was 3 of 4, but missed on the Redskins winning. I wanted the Ravens to win, because I thought they were the best team to knock off the damn Chiefs next weekend, but turnovers will kill even the best of teams.

Ravens are far more talented than Buffalo and the thing about either team is that either one could beat the Chiefs on their best day. But they have to have their best day at Arrowhead. I think Allen is more capable of having his best day there than Lamar is. Lamar was surrounded by far more talent than Allen, but it was the best receiver on his team who ended up hurting them in the end. I feel sorry for Andrews, he is a committed professional who works his ass off in the off season, a country boy from Oklahoma, imagine how he feels.

Chiefs offense has been, well, predictable since Tyreek left. And it seems Mahomes is panicked in the pocket looking for open receivers - knowing he's about to be plowed due to oline being a sieve.
I look for Buffalos' two tight ends to have a field day against KC secondary.
Buffalo wins this one.

It's now or never! They have to be "whistling by the graveyard" as they've lost to KC in the playoffs in crazy ways! It was no more bizarre than being part of 25 pts. barrage at the end in 2 mins., then losing w/ 13 seconds left! That's the new normal w/ Mahome! Leave him even a few secs., he'll find a way to beat you!
