Even for the Chiefs vs Eagles, of all the spread bets, the Chiefs had 54% while the Eagles secured 46%. There is no clarity on who has a majority of the bets, which is why the line has not moved at all.
The wagers have reached 6 figures for both sides on moneyline odds, according to BetMGM. The Eagles took wagers worth $800,000 at +110 odds while the Chiefs secured a $300,000 bet at -130 odds.
