Chiefs Offense

  • An alternate first half total of 30.5 features huge +245 odds to go over.
  • Over 10.5 first half points for the Chiefs stands at EVEN odds.
  • In three previous meetings, each game has been high-scoring with 51 or more points.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A brewing rivalry takes the 1.5-point favorite Cincinnati Bengals back to Arrowhead to face the Kansas City Chiefs. This marks the third meeting between superstar QBs Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes.

Alternate line totals for the first half have been created, with some offering big value betting on these two dynamic offenses to once again engage in a shootout.

First Half Overs for an Explosive Matchup

Legal betting sites have posted alternate lines where bettors can find value in predicting yet another high-scoring faceoff between the Bengals and Chiefs, including a first half total of over 30.5 with big +245 odds.

We can first look at the previous three games between these two teams, where the first half totals finished at 45, 31, and 24 in the most recent game.

In terms of their rankings this year, both the Chiefs and Bengals are top five in first half scoring offense, with 15.7 and 14.4, respectively. Their defenses aren’t particular stingy in the first half either, allowing a roughly league-average 11.1 and 10.9 points.

With a very profitable +245 odds, bettors could cash in big on another Mahomes v Burrow shootout in the first half which has become a trend throughout their short rivalry.

Chiefs Boast Great EVEN Odds for First Half

Keeping with the idea of a high-scoring all-out brawl, the Chiefs have been set at an alternate line of over 10.5 first half points with EVEN odds by legal NFL sportsbooks.

As mentioned previously, the first half total of their three total meetings certainly breeds confidence for Chiefs bettors, as they finished with 28, 21, and 10 points in each of the three meetings. Judging by the first half offense and defense statistics, the Chiefs would only require an average game to reach the over on this alternate line.

While some worry does exist due to Mahomes’ ankle injury, recent practice news gives the impression that Mahomes will be ready with little cause for concern. NFL bettors will want to keep a close eye on further news as the week progresses in case of any unforeseen setbacks.

Overall, with the expectation that the trend of Bengals Chiefs high-scoring games will continue, both first half overs of 30.5 total (+245) and Chiefs over 10.5 (EVEN) present strong value that can be capitalized on as straight bets or in a parlay ticket.
