The Kansas City Chiefs (6-1) head into their Week 8 home game against the New York Jets (0-7) as monster betting favorites. Below, we take a look at the early Week 8 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The reigning Super Bowl champs are coming off another impressive victory in Week 7. The Chiefs beat the AFC West rival Denver Broncos 43-16 in the snow at Empower Field at Mile High. QB Patrick Mahomes had a light day of work, as he attempted just 23 passes and finished with 200 yards and a touchdown. RBs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Le’Veon Bell had 46 and 39 yards, respectively, with CEH finding the end zone. The Chiefs scored a defensive touchdown and a kick return TD.
The Jets remain winless on the season following an 18-10 loss at home to the rival Buffalo Bills Sunday. QB Sam Darnold returned from injury to complete just 12 of 23 passes for 120 yards with two interceptions and no scores. Rookie WR Denzel Mims caught four of seven targets for 42 yards in his NFL debut.
