NFL Week 12 Betting Report: 'There’s an Influx of Anti-Chiefs Money'

For several years running, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs could count on the public betting masses for support. That’s been the case even this season, despite Kansas City running hot and cold.

But with K.C. now a middling 5-5 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS), the masses are getting restless, starting with NFL Week 12 odds, as the Chiefs face a much improved Colts team.

"There’s an influx of anti-Chiefs money, and I anticipate that moving forward this season, depending on what kind of team the Chiefs are playing," Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said.

Oddsmakers and sharp bettors serve up their insights on the Colts-Chiefs clash and more, as we dive into NFL Week 12 betting nuggets.

Hail To The … Colts?

While the Chiefs are only playing .500 ball through 11 weeks, the surprising Colts have the NFL’s second-best SU record at 8-2 (6-4 ATS). Indianapolis is also coming off its bye heading into this 1 p.m. ET Sunday kickoff, while Kansas City has lost two in a row.

Caesars Sports opened the Chiefs as 3.5-point home favorites, and that’s where the number remains as of Wednesday afternoon.

"Last week, we saw Chiefs money, really one-sided action against the Broncos. But this week, not so much," Feazel said. "The action so far is mostly on the Colts, on the spread and the moneyline."

Meaning some early bettors feel Indy will not only cover the spread, but perhaps spring a modest road upset of K.C.

"I wouldn’t be surprised if that kind of action rings true through Sunday," Feazel said.
