Chiefs' Week 1 betting odds against the Ravens are the inverse of the AFC title game

Now, these opening night betting odds might seem a bit familiar to you. That's because it's the inverse situation from the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens. Despite back-to-back wins over the Miami Dolphins in K.C. and the Buffalo Bills on the road, the Chiefs entered the AFC title game as three-point underdogs and with a +140 money line. Kansas City went on the road to Baltimore and upset the home team en route to their third Super Bowl title of the Patrick Mahomes era. 

This time around it's the Ravens traveling to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and playing the underdog role. They'll have all the emotional motivation they need after the AFC title game loss last year. Will the Chiefs be able to match the fire and energy that Baltimore will surely bring? 

With 115 days to go until this game takes place, it'll be interesting to monitor and see how the betting odds move and shift throughout the offseason. Injuries during training camp and the preseason could move the betting line in one direction or the other. One thing that could shift the odds in favor of Baltimore is a potential suspension of Chiefs WR Rashee Rice.
