To be fair, they did play a lot of good teams in those games, cowboys 2x, panthers, steelers, seahawks, so they were likely underdogs in ~every game.
They are also terrible on TNF, 0-3 under Gruden.
Of course this not vs the spread, but seems like Cousins always ****s the bed under the national spotlight.
This is why I took Raiders -3 last Sunday night, obv not MNF but also a prime time game and that was quite possibly the worst bet I've ever made in my life lol. But if you were barely leaning Chiefs before, that would be something to think about, albeit with a grain of salt.
Lets be honest, this might be the first actual defense Chiefs are facing this year; a banged up Pats team who lost key pieces in game, Philly D can be good on the front end but definite deficiencies in the secondary, a Chargers D that is talented but after playing a decent game always has a tendency to melt down and give up those huge plays. Chiefs -7 seems like too many points, but it's not out of the range of possibilities, idk this spread is tough.
