A comparison of Fantasy Alarm’s projections and Las Vegas prop odds for Monday night’s Chiefs-Packers tilt reveals little opportunity for bettors. The best of the bunch is UNDER on Aaron Rodgers’ completion total. Fantasy Alarm projects 20.9, while the Westgate SuperBook’s total is 23.5. The Packers sit as 6.5-point favorites with a total of 49 points across most Vegas books the morning of the game, and our best wagering opportunity may be on the side, at least according to our contributing handicapper Chris Andrews....
