Betting Trends: Still getting used to their new diggs for the time being, the Los Angeles Chargers take on the red-hot Kansas City Chiefs. Fresh off beating the defending champs and wrapping up business against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs are receiving 80% of spread tickets. Why then has the line dropped from the open of -3.5? You guessed it, reverse line movement.
Takeaways: The reverse line movement indicates this game could go down to the wire. While it’s a small sample size (six career games), Keenan Allen has actually struggled significantly as a home underdog, scoring roughly 5.5 fewer PPR points per game than in all other matchups according to the Game Splits App.
Considering the reverse line movement, neither defense is at play here, even the Kansas City D/ST.
