Landing on a Monday Night Football spread pick for Buccaneers vs. Chiefs may seem a bit difficult.
Sure, most fans, analysts and bettors expect Kansas City to win tonight, but by how much?
The latest NFL odds show the Chiefs as 9-point favorites on the spread for Monday Night Football, so it’s extremely plausible for Andy Reid’s team to win tonight’s game but still fail to cover.
This isn’t always the case, but when it comes to tonight’s Monday Night Football spread pick, we have the luxury of tracking how the market’s sharpest bettors are approaching this matchup, and according to Action PRO’s premium tools, that action is extremely one-sided.
Sharpest Monday Night Football Spread Pick
*Odds as of Monday morning
As mentioned above, Kansas City has settled in at -9 against Tampa Bay at most major sportsbooks.
Bettors appear to be split on tonight’s spread, as 52% of tickets are laying the points with the Chiefs as of the time writing.
Interestingly enough, the favorites are also the sharp side of this Monday Night Football matchup.
While a move from -7.5 to -9 isn’t a drastic one due to the lack of key numbers involved, this number has still adjusted 1.5 points thanks to wiseguy action.
Early last week Kansas City was available at just that, -7.5, before professional bettors steamed the Chiefs on two separate occasions.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
This influx of smart money left oddsmakers little choice but to react by pushing Kansas City out to -9.
