Unsurprisingly, the Kansas City Chiefs are favored over the Cleveland Browns as the two teams get set to start the regular season.

The actual start of the 2021 NFL season is almost here. The Kansas City Chiefs are set to host the Cleveland Browns as the two teams will get their seasons started on Sunday. The two teams will meet at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and will get underway at 3:25 p.m.

Right now, it looks like the oddsmakers believe the Kansas City Chiefs can come out on top. Given that this game is in Kansas City rather than on the road in Cleveland, that certainly gives a solid advantage to Andy Reid and his team.

According to WynnBET,  the Kansas City Chiefs are favored to beat the Cleveland Browns by a decent margin. At the moment, the Chiefs are a 6.5 point favorite over the Browns. The over/under is currently set at 54 points.

This match up should be thrilling to watch and hopefully we’ll get to see both offenses firing on all cylinders.

Each of these teams have thrilling quarterbacks with a ton of upside in Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes. Each of these teams boast some of the most talented pass catchers in the NFL with Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry leading the way for the Browns while Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill cut through secondaries for the Chiefs.

It’s not a stretch to say that a ton of points could be scored in this one.

We’ll see what kind of explosive match up we actually get. Here’s to hoping that this game can live up to its potential. And, more importantly, here’s to hoping that Kansas City will come out on top.
