KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The back-to-back Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs begin their quest for a third consecutive championship as 2.5-point favorites against the Baltimore Ravens.

Baltimore Ravens Vs Kansas City Chiefs Betting Odds
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Baltimore Ravens | +2.5 (+105) | +125 | O46.0 (-110) |
Kansas City Chiefs | -2.5 (-125) | -145 | U46.0 (-110) |
A matchup between the reigning NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP makes the over sound appealing, but the best bet on the 46.0-point total is the under. The under is 18-4 in the Chiefs’ last 22 games at Arrowhead Stadium, including their most recent matchup with the Ravens in the 2023 AFC Championship.
Although rosters have changed a bit since then, the Chiefs and Ravens only combined for 27 points in that game. Betting trends and recent matchups support the under at llegal NFL betting sites with -110 odds.
Spread Trends Back Chiefs -3 In Season Opener
Kansas City covered the spread in six consecutive games dating back to last season, including a 17-10 win against the Ravens as 4.5-point road underdogs. Since then, Baltimore lost key defensive players in Patrick Queen, Jadeveon Clowney, and Geno Stone, while also losing two starting offensive guards in Kevin Zeitler and John Simpson.
The Chiefs traded star cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans, but they also improved offensively with the additions of Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy in the receiving game. Patrick Mahomes is 4-1 outright against the Ravens in his career, covering the legal Missouri sports betting spread in all five of those games.
Kansas City has -125 odds to cover the 2.5-point spread on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff for the 2024-2025 NFL season opener is set for 8:20 p.m. ET.
