Monday Night Football betting continues this week with an eye catching matchup between two teams with Native American-based names. Kansas City will be hosting Washington this Monday night, forcing USA sportsbooks to make the choice between the Chiefs or the Redskins. The best sportsbook players might have a feeling about how bookmakers will play this one. But after a long weekend of dull matchups, we’re all hoping this one turns into a shootout.
The undefeated, 3-0 Chiefs come into Week 4’s Monday Night Football match as the proud leaders of the AFC West. Because of this, MyBookie.ag – a fan favorite betting site amongst newcomers and seasoned veterans alike, is pegging them as a -349 favorite on the money line. Kansas City has been one of this season’s most impressive teams as they have been delivering a consistency week in and week out that is unparallel in the NFL. It’s no understatement to say that Washington pales in comparison with this divisional leader and the USA sportsbooks odds reflect that precisely.
Washington comes into this contest flashing a 2-1 record that ranks them 2nd in the NFC East behind the now 3-1 Philadelphia Eagles. Despite having twice as many wins as losses, the best sportsbook betting sites are still ruling against the Redskins heavily. Most betting sites have them facing +281 or worse odds on the money line. Nevertheless, Washington is coming off a big 27-10 over the Oakland Raiders – another AFC West squad, and is currently on a 2-game win streak.
Fans looking to bet on Kansas City this Monday night will be able to cash in on a much better payout if they stick to the spread, which just so happens to offer the best sportsbook betting option ahead of Week 4’s MNF match. USA sportsbooks currently have the spread set at 7 points, which is a tremendous option. The Chiefs have outscored their opponent by 14 or more points twice thus far this season and are undefeated against the spread this season. Washington is 2-1 against the spread this season but will have to play on the road against one of this year’s best and most consistent offenses.
The Chiefs ride into this Week 4 matchup boasting the NFL’s 3rd best scoring offense. Additionally, the Chiefs rank 2nd in terms of passing offense, 13th in total offense and 1st in rushing offense. The Redskins, which wielded one of the worst defenses in the league in 2016, have turned things around defensively and might actually match up well against the Chiefs’ offense. Washington ranks 3rd in total defense, 10th against the pass and 2nd against the run. However, the Redskins are 14th in points allowed so they are likely to fall short this Monday.
USA sportsbook players looking to bet on the totals line will have to stick to a 49 ½ point prediction with a -110 payout. The Chiefs are 2-1 against the over/under line this year while their opponent has posted an 0-2-1 record against the totals line. Whichever line you choose to wager on, stick with Kansas City.
