One unusual fact about the Kansas City Chiefs’ late-season schedule is that they face six straight opponents that come in with more rest. This began on Sunday, as they faced the Las Vegas Raiders, falling behind 14-0 before roaring back to win, 31-17; the Chiefs had played on Monday night while the Raiders had played Sunday. This week they head to Lambeau Field to face a Green Bay team that has been off since Thanksgiving. Next week, they play Buffalo after the Bills’ bye week, and their next two opponents after that will have played the previous Thursday. All told, the Chiefs will have 20 fewer days of rest than their opponents from Week 12 to the season’s end, the biggest disparity in 35 years. Will that influence your NFL betting for their prime-time game at Lambeau? Read our preview between Chiefs vs Packers to see if it should.

Why should you bet on the Kansas City Chiefs?
Patrick Mahomes has put up a 68.1% pass completion rate that is even more impressive than it looks due to the fact that the Chiefs lead the NFL in dropped passes. Travis Kelce is the top pass catcher with 70 receptions for 732 yards and five touchdowns. SMU product Rashee Rice has matched those five touchdowns while piling up 527 receiving yards of his own. Justin Watson also has 332 receiving yards, and six other Chiefs have at least 100 receiving yards.
The defense has held the Chiefs together at many points this season, behind 71 tackles and 3 ½ sacks from Drue Tranquill, 7 ½ sacks from Chris Jones, and 5 ½ sacks from Mike Danna. December is usually lockdown time for the Chiefs, who are 17-1 in their last 18 contests in the last month of the year. As road favorites against NFC teams, the Chiefs have a four-game winning streak against the spread.

Why should you put your money on the Green Bay Packers?
The Packers have a two-game winning streak and are now 5-6 on the season after their 29-22 win in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. It helped that Lions quarterback Jared Goff fumbled the ball three times in the first half, one leading to a scoop-and-score touchdown, but the Packers took advantage of a flat team. Jordan Love now has a 19:10 TD:INT ratio and looks better running the Green Bay offense each week, with his pass completion rate now above 60%. In the absence of Aaron Jones, A.J. Dillon has taken the rushing lead with 448 yards, and Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs have combined for 930 receiving yards and 12 touchdown catches.
The Packers’ defense has gotten 8 ½ sacks out of Rashan Gary and five out of Preston Smith, and Quay Walker leads the team with 79 total tackles. In December, the Packers also have a very impressive 15-game winning streak (their season-ending loss to Detroit last year came in January). However, that was with Aaron Rodgers running the offense, so we’ll see if Love can keep that streak going. The Packers also have a six-game winning streak against the spread as the underdog coming after an NFC North win.

Chiefs vs Packers Final Score and Prediction
The Chiefs started very slowly against the Raiders last week as they had to bounce back from a tough home loss to Philadelphia the week before, but they got things going. The Packers showed the Lions that it’s a bad idea to give them an early lead, because they won’t let it go, and we can be sure the Chiefs were watching. I predict a final score of Kansas City 34, Green Bay 24.
