Oddsmakers aren’t buying into the recent trends set by the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Giants (2-5) completely dominated the Carolina Panthers at home in Week 7, while the Chiefs (3-4) were never in their game against the Titans in Tennessee last Sunday.

The two clubs will square off next Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium and the Chiefs are an early 9.5-point home favorite in the game with an over/under of 52.5 points, per the Tipico Sportsbook app.

The Giants are 3-4 against the spread and 2-1 ATS on the road this season, while the Chiefs are 2-5 overall ATS with a home ATS record of 0-3.

One stat to keep an eye on in this game are turnovers. The Chiefs lead the NFL with 17 giveaways and have the worst turnover differential (-10) in the league. The Giants are flat in terms of turnovers this year with nine takeaways and nine giveaways.
