Dolphins vs. Chiefs Betting Picks This Week
Dolphins vs. Chiefs Best Bet: Dolphins 1st Drive result PUNT (DraftKings +110) for 1 unit
This is one of my favorite go-to props when I like the UNDER and the team to struggle on offense. Based on the injuries and weather (I will say this often), getting this at even money is great value.
Dolphins vs. Chiefs Best Bet: UNDER 44.5 (FanDuel -115) for 1 unit; ALTERNATE BET Dolphins UNDER 10.5 (DraftKings +320) for 0.25 unit
I am shocked this total has not come down to the low 40s and it still might end up there, but between the weather and the Dolphins' injuries, offense should be a challenge. The Chiefs offense is not what it used to be and they have been trending UNDER all season. The total points in this game was 35 points when they played on a neutral field on Nov. 5.
Dolphins vs. Chiefs Best Bet: Chiefs -4.5 (DraftKings -110) for 0.5 unit; ALTERNATE BET Chiefs -9.5 (DraftKings +170) for 0.5 unit; ALTERNATE BET Chiefs -16.5 (DraftKings +374) for 0.25 unit
I ended up predicting Chiefs 24-13, but I could see this being even more of a lopsided game on the Chiefs side with a potential game like 23-6 or even lower because of the extreme low temperatures, Chiefs lack of offense and Dolphins injuries.
