Kansas sports betting finally had its soft launch on September 1st. Although Kansas bettors have been able to access online sportsbooks since last Thursday, the official full launch takes place on September 8th, poetically on the same day as the NFL season kick-off. As Kansas doesn’t boast an NFL team of its own, many aspiring Sunflower State bettors might turn their gazes over to the neighboring state of Missouri, specifically Kansas City.
The pride and joy of Kansas City, the Kansas City Chiefs, are hailed as one of the top teams for the upcoming NFL season. After having reached the playoffs for multiple seasons in a row, it comes as no surprise that the Chiefs’ have been deemed as one of the toughest teams this season. So what does this mean when it comes to their betting odds?
The season opener for Kansas City Chiefs takes place on Sunday, September 11th. The Chiefs boast an impressive streak of opening game victories from the past seasons. The odds are also in the Chiefs’ favor against this season’s first opponents, Arizona Cardinals. Kansas betting apps are offering the following odds for the Chiefs’ upcoming season:
