Morning Coffee: FanDuel Best Bet For Thursday Night Football

Follow| Archive

Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert are two of the top three choices to win NFL regular season MVP at FanDuel.

They’ll go head-to-head tonight on Thursday Night Football.

The winner of tonight’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers will take the early pole position in what is widely considered the best division in the NFL.

Kansas City was a 2.5-point favourite on the look-ahead line, but the spread for tonight’s game is up to Kansas City -4.5 at FanDuel this morning.

The Chargers split last year's season series and are looking to secure three straight road wins over the Chiefs for the first time since 2007-09.

Can Herbert and company pull off the upset in Kansas City tonight?

Here’s the Morning Coffee for Thursday September 15th, 2022.

If he’s going to lead Los Angeles to a win, Herbert will need to do it without one of his best weapons at wide receiver in Keenan Allen, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

The Allen injury led to the line for tonight’s game moving from Kansas City -3.5 to -4.5.

Prime time underdogs are 61-44 against the spread over the past three seasons.

This will be the third meeting all-time between Herbert and Mahomes.
