Why Bet On The Kansas City Chiefs?

Why should you bet on Kansas City in this huge Week 11 Inter-Conference clash? Well, there are a bunch of great reasons. First, the Chiefs have the higher scoring offense as they put up 35.3 points per game to L.A.’s 33.5 points per contest. Another good reason to back the Chiefs is that they have some nice momentum going, having won four straight games including their simple 26-14 win over Arizona on Sunday. Patrick Mahomes tossed two TD passes to fleet-footed wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a game that saw the Cardinals put up a big-time effort.

“It was definitely a grind out there,” running back Kareem Hunt said, “and definitely a team that was trying to come up big in a big-time win to get their program back on track, but most importantly we got the win.”

Another good reason to back Kansas City is that they’ve won four of five on the road this season and have a quarterback that has played like the best signal-caller in all of football this season in second-year signal-caller Patrick Mahomes.

Why Bet On The Los Angeles Rams?

Are the Rams a safe bet for NFL Week 11?

Why should you back the Rams to get ‘er done in this one? There are also a bunch of great reasons to back L.A. First, the Rams are playing at home where they’ve gone 5-0 SU this season. Then there’s the fact that L.A. is one of the few teams that can matchup Kansas City offensively.

Then, there’s the fact that the Rams have the far better defense in this contest as they allow 23.1 points per contest compared to Kansas City’s slightly more generous 24.0 points per game allowed.

The Rams will also come into this contest with some renewed confidence after bouncing back from their only loss of the season in Week 9 by beating Seattle 36-31 in a hard-fought affair on Sunday as Jared Goff tossed two TD passes and Todd Gurley rushed for 120 yards one one score on 16 carries.

Los Angeles took the field trying to make sense of the mass shooting less than five miles from their training complex and wildfires that forced a practice cancellation and quarterback Jared Goff to evacuate his home.

“It’s just been a tough week for the whole city, the whole area up there,” Goff said afterward “Hoping today provided a little bit of joy and regularity for those people.”

Expert NFL Betting Analysis and Prediction for Chiefs vs Rams

For this huge Week 11 matchup of two of the best teams in the league this season, I’m going to advise you to back the Kansas City Chiefs to pick up the narrow win in an absolute thriller that almost certainly will come down to the final possession or two. Kansas City is a robust 8-2 ATS this season while the Rams are an uninspiring 4-5-1 ATS in 2018.

Los Angeles has failed to cover the chalk in each of their last three games while going 1-4 ATS over their last five and 1-5-1 ATS over their last seven. The Chiefs are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games against a team with a winning home record, a pristine 4-0 ATS n their last five games against a team with a winning record and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games overall.

The Rams are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games against a team with a winning road record, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team with a winning record. I like Kansas City in a high-scoring affair.
