Why the Kansas City Chiefs are a good bet at +3.5?
The Chiefs are 5-0 against the spread this season for a reason. Up until Week 5, Kansas City has leaned on its excellent offense. Led by second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs average 35 points per game, ranking second in the NFL. Before Week 5, Mahomes hadn’t thrown an interception. He threw 2 versus Jacksonville.
Kansas City beat Jacksonville 30-14 even though Mahomes threw the picks. The Chiefs intercepted Jags’ quarterback Blake Bortles 4 times. Kansas City can lean on both units to beat the Patriots straight up on Sunday.

Final NFL Betting Analysis for Chiefs vs Patriots
Kansas City beat Jacksonville, but it took 4 interceptions and a Bortles’ fumble for them to do it. KC won’t have as much luck against the New England Patriots.
Patriots’ coach Bill Belichick has spent the entire week studying how the Jaguars forced Mahomes into the two bad throws. He’ll allow Kansas City to move the football. Then, like Belichick’s done his entire career versus great offenses, he’ll hold the Chiefs to field goals.
Tom Brady’s hit his stride while wide receiver Josh Gordon could have a breakout game. The Patriots should cover the spread. It might not even be that close.
