The playoffs are a heavily gambled affair every year. This year is no different. The Colts-Chiefs game should receive a large amount of betting. Here is what Vegas says about the game right now.

Sports betting is getting more and more prominent. It is becoming legal in more states and more people are partaking in it. The Colts and the Chiefs should see a lot of action on Saturday. Here is what Vegas says about the game as of now.

Right now, the Chiefs are 5.5 point favorites. That is in large part because of how good Kansas City’s offense is. Patrick Mahomes has been done a great job all year long. They are also playing at home in a great home-field environment. All of that adds up to this point spread.

That is a very large point spread for a playoff game, especially one featuring the Colts as the underdog. The Colts are the hottest team in the league right now. Any spread above 3 is ridiculous and should be laughed at. Take these points to the bank all day everyday.

The Colts might win the game outright, but you should take the points for sure. Take them now before the spread shrinks, because it is likely to do just that as the week progresses. The Colts should bring in a decent amount of money.

The over/under for this game is 57. That seems about right for this game. The Colts have played great defense, but the Chiefs are the best offense in the league. I would take the over in this one, as I expect both teams to be in the 30’s.
