Point spread, total, moneyline and more for Packers-Chiefs in Week 8 SNF

The Chiefs are rare underdogs as they host the Packers on Sunday Night Football. Steve Buchanan gives out all the betting information for this matchup.

It’s not very often that the Chiefs are underdogs in a game but without Patrick Mahomes (at least we think), the Packers are road favorites. When favored this season, the Packers boast a 4-1 record and are currently riding a three-game winning streak. Aaron Rodgers is coming off a ridiculous performance against the Raiders in which he threw for 429 yards, five touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Now he’s presented with a Chiefs defense that has an average at best secondary and a very poor run defense. Aaron Jones should be busy in this one with the Packers favored and a run defense that allows an average of 127 rushing yards, 39 receiving yards and six total touchdowns to opposing backs.

The injury to Mahomes couldn’t have come at a worse time, as the Packers on paper have been one of the tougher secondaries in the league. The assumption is that Matt Moore will be under center and has to deal with a defense that has kept opposing receivers out of the end zone in four of their seven games. With Moore under center last week, the Chiefs averaged just 5.8 yards per pass attempts, which is quite the drop from the 9.1 they usually average. They also ran the ball 55.6% of the time compared to 34.2% with Mahomes. This should be a game for Damien Williams against a Packers run defense that’s allowed seven rushing touchdowns and an average of 114 rushing yards.
