Probably because we just beat the Patriots. And we destroyed the Broncos in DEN without Pat. Now this game is in Arrowhead, the OL is healthy, Their OL is the same one that gave up 8 sacks, they're without Sanders and Fant, and Pat is back.

So whatever the spread was for the first game (can't remember what it was, but I'm thinking probably about a TD), then add at least 4-6 points because Pat.

What happened to Fant? He had a big game against Houston.

I heard on ESPN that they had to cart him off the field last night?

Never mind, I found a story about it; he has a (probably) minor foot injury, and something wrong with his hip. DEN is optimistic at this point. Tests to follow.

There are many reasons I wouldn’t touch that spread.

First off, the typical NFL game is played within one score. Second, snow is expected. Third, even though I’m not aboard the “Lock is amazing” train, there’s no doubt that their offense is light years better right now than what we saw in the first matchup. Fourth, Andy will go conservative if KC has a solid lead. Fifth, Mahomes has a bad hand and we’re still down two solid corners.
