Why are the chiefs not favored?

They're the reigning champs. 

Best QB 

Better Defense.

Anyone??

Because the Niners have beasts at almost every position and are a better overall team and curbstomped their way through most of the regular season while Andy Reid gorged on Cheeseburgers.

Do you have any other questions?

@JimmyGape

 Lol "gorged on cheeseburgers"!!

@JimmyGrape you gave up 31 points to Detroit you think you’re gonna score on that KC defense Kansas City that went to Baltimore and limited them to 10 points I will make sure I come back to the thread February 11 Be Ready For Me Punk!

consider yourself broken off.

I think the above message produced nothing more from JimmyGape than a yawn.

@markoj17

Because the opening line came out with with SF as the favorites, and have remained the betting favorite since then.

Simple

Books knew his father would get pinched for a dewy.

Not even a yawn

SF has 8 wins by at least 17 points.  KC has only 2.

the lions have a better offense than the chiefs.  The ravens had 10 points cause they moronically abandoned the run and turned the ball over 3 times (once on the goal line)

I think it would be shocking if the Chiefs were favored in this game considering the 49ers have been the favorite in 19 consecutive games meaning SF has been the favorite in every game they have played this year home or away 

Good thing they aren’t playing the ravens lol. I think those yawns would be shits in his pants 

I look at the Chiefs and Ravens as potentially the same level of difficulty, all things considered

@markoj17

 Defense is better?   Rushing def  KC ranks  17th    SF is 5th - Passing def you have an argument as the chiefs are better.    Just saying.   Why aren't the Chiefs favored- we all can speculate but nobody in here can answer your question with certainty - opening lines on any sport are the best kept secret in my opinion.  Why can't anyone in here answer no one knows the exact weights the oddsmakers put on def., off., location, public perception etc etc.   Once again we speculate but don't know for certain.   The number they put out there will hopefully get them even action on both sides - if not lines move accordingly.   

The problem with your theory is that Baltimore goes as Lamar goes versus KC shutting them down.  Very similar to the first Pittsburgh game.

@markoj17

 Cuz the Niners are going to whoop that ass.

Line reflects seeding & future wagers nothing more nothing less 

Doesn’t matter anyway lol. Being an oddsmaker is as useful as the weatherman. 

@markoj17

To help hedge the major futures that have been put in for SF. Vegas has raked in on both future wagers for SF and is using public fatigue of KC. The fact is you’ve got Mahomes backed by the second ranked scoring defense and they just won on the road against the number one ranked scoring defense. Do you think Brock Purdy is the godsend to beat Mahomes with the second ranked scoring defense? I doubt it. 

KC 31, SF 23
