Over bettors not proud of sensible play

It additionally paid off for bettor who had the Chiefs +1.5 within the first half. Butker's kick tied the sport 10-10 at halftime.

What made Butker's kick extra spectacular was it was his first sport again after lacking 4 video games with an ankle harm.

Including extra agony to Payments first-half bettors was how little time it took the Chiefs to get in place to strive the lengthy area objective.

The Chiefs had the ball at their very own 28-yard line with 12 seconds left within the second quarter. Taking a knee to enter halftime down 10-7 was a risk.

As a substitute, the Chiefs accomplished two passes for a complete of 28 yards to get to the Buffalo 44, organising Butker's kick with one second remaining within the half.

Thursday evening Dangerous Beat
