Chiefs -10.5
Let's not let recency bias derail the train here. While the Chiefs stalled out in their loss to Buffalo last week (pushing them to 4-5-1 ATS this season), this is the Carolina Panthers we're talking about. KC can cover.
I'm just not sure how the Panthers rack up enough points to cover. Bryce Young could be out of sync thanks to the KC pass rush, and the Panthers run game (the team's best quality) will find little traction against a very good Chiefs defense. The Chiefs currently rank third in the NFL, allowing just 85 yards per game on the ground.
The last time the Chiefs lost, they bounced back with a 15-game winning streak. Now, after a rough game with two interceptions, Patrick Mahomes gets a shot at the league’s worst defense. Kansas City has pulled out plenty of close wins this season, but Sunday’s game looks like it could be a blowout.
Chiefs vs Panthers News
The Chiefs offense has some work to do after the team's Week 11 loss to the Bills. KC entered that game undefeated but was criticized all season for its lackluster offense. Those criticisms proved real in the loss.
After the Chiefs' 30-21 loss to the Bills, Patrick Mahomes acknowledged Buffalo as a strong team and admitted Kansas City didn’t play at its best. He emphasized the importance of learning from the loss, saying, "It takes your best football to beat great teams."
Luckily, 50% football will get it done vs the Panthers in Week 12, but this could be an opportunity for a vengeance game, where KC's offense shines.
