Odds from BetOnline.ag:
| Teams | Spread | Money Line | Total |

| 452 New England Patriots: | -9 -110 | -420 | Under 48.2 -110 |
In this season opening game, the defending Super Bowl Champions Patriots(14-2 SU, 13-3 ATS, 6-10 O-U) are taking on the Kansas City Chiefs(12-4 SU, 9-7 ATS, 6-10 O/U) who are clearly the underdogs.
The Patriots will as always have a very strong offense. Despite Brady being 39 years old, he still has enough teams to perform well on the field. Even without Julian Edelman, it should not stop the Patriots from scoring.
On the other hand most sportsbook software companies agree that despite having to replace Dontari Poe and and needing a replacement for Maclin, the Chiefs are still a solid team that made it to the playoffs for the past two seasons.
Prediction: Take the Chiefs at -9
