Because it's on the road on Jacksonville has been competitive recently. Plus Broncos played an extra 15 minutes in a physical game. Hard to make a defensive team on the road in that kind of spot a touchdown favorite.
Atl: Not sure why this is weird to you. Weird that they're favored by that much or what? Chiefs are probably a top 5 football team. Atlanta has their issues, this line is basically where it should be. Probably closes at -3
Pitt: Again, why is this weird to you? Do you really think the 6-5 Steelers who haven't looked great at all recently are THAT much better than the 8-3 Giants? Another line where it should be.
Bills: Questions about Carr's Health. Chiefs stomped the Raiders early in the year, and the Bills run that same type of game plan with McCoy/Tyrod running and keeping the ball for long drives. Thought this line would open at 4, but don't think its far off.

The line on NY Giants @ Pitts is weird because the Steelers are favored by 6 (too many) after Pittsburgh defeated an inferior team in Cleveland and a crippled team at the QB position in Indianapolis.
The Giants are the hotter and on paper the better team. Beckham should have a field day against that Steel City secondary and that Giants' D line should contain Leveon Bell and put pressure on the Benmeister. That line of Pitts -6 certainly caught my eye.

yes
Second thought maybe ATL doesn't look strange. Almost 90% on DEN so far...just saying they could have opened that up over 6 and still gotten a ton on that side. Same w Raiders
What I'm saying is that OAK and DEN have been big public teams over the last 5 weeks and the spreads are much tighter than they could have been

I think top 5 is a reach, I feel like you are basing this solely off of W-L record. Plus they are coming off a short week from a game that went to OT no less.
(last week's rankings below, this week's ratings come out later this evening)
KCC Overall DVOA ranking 13
KCC Offensive DVOA ranking 20 (P17/R22)
KCC Defensive DVOA ranking 11 (P8/R21)
ATL Overall DVOA ranking 5
ATL Offensive DVOA ranking 2 (P3/R7)
ATl Defensive DVOA ranking 27 (P22/R28)
Average record of teams KCC has beat = 5.0-6.0
Average record of teams ATL has beat = 5.7-5.1

I'm not sure which direction the original poster thought the KC-Atlanta line was off on, but another thing to consider is that the Chiefs play the Raiders on Thursday next week. That makes the Falcons a huge trap middle in a Broncos-Raiders divisional sandwich.
Also, I haven't been tracking it that closely, but I think teams have not done well this season the week before their Thursday game.

Original post meant to say that ATL spread looks short at first glance. Opened at 3.5, i had it closer to 5
