With each passing week in the NFL, the list of unbeaten teams has a way of getting smaller and smaller. While there does seem to be a distinct separation between the teams at the top and those at the bottom, there is still a decent level of parity in this league. Teams who have started out slow might still find a way to turn things around, while those who have come storming out the gate may end up cooling off a little. We are definitely going to see some fortunes reversed this season, as we will see some undefeated teams go head to head, as well as some winless teams also squaring off.
One of the games featuring the undefeated teams will see the Kansas City Chiefs head on the road to face the Detroit Lions. While the Chiefs have won all 3 of their games, the Lions have a pair of wins an opening week tie to their name. This is one of the better games on the schedule this coming Sunday, with the Chiefs going on the road as a 7-point favorite. The point total for this one has been set at 54 points.

Why bet on the Kansas City Chiefs?
The Kansas City Chiefs have been in and around the playoffs for a few years now, but they finally became a legitimate Super Bowl threat last season with Patrick Mahomes under center. The young QB does not look as though a sophomore slump is going to be an issue, though, tossing for over 1,100 yards and 10 TD’s through the opening 3 weeks of the season.
Not only are the Chiefs picking up wins, they have also been a fantastic bet against the spread, covering in all 3 games played this season. They have had similar success versus Detroit over the years, going 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings with the Lions. On the downside, the Chiefs are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games versus NFC teams.

Why bet on the Detroit Lions?
The Detroit Lions are perhaps a little unfortunate not to be sitting with a perfect record coming into this week. They looked to be cruising to victory in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, but they fell apart in the 4th quarter of that one, ending the game with a 27-27 tie.
Things have gone much better since then, though, with the Lions registering back to back wins in games that they started as an underdog. They are now 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games and have gone 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings with teams from the AFC. They have also gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played in September. Straight up, though, they are 5-12 in their last 17 games as an underdog.
