DraftKings NFL odds: Chiefs favored over Ravens in Week 1

Here are live odds from DraftKings Sportsbook on the season opener between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs:

NFL picks and analysis: TSN experts agree on Chiefs ATS

In his NFL Week 1 ATS picks, Vinnie Iyer writes, "The Chiefs' offense with two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes has a little more pop than the Ravens' offense with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, leading to a little more scoring in the September rematch of the January AFC championship game."

Iyer' pick: Chiefs win 24-20 and cover the spread.

TSN's Bill Bender agrees with his colleague's selection and recalls Mahomes is 4-1 all-time vs. Jackson. KC "continues to one-up Baltimore in the fourth quarter," Bender says while predicting a 27-21 Chiefs win.

And here's some prop analysis from NFL betting analyst Tony Mejia: "Kansas City won’t have one of its key offseason additions with Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown sidelined, which means there will be more targets available in the short passing game. Travis Kelce was asked about accepting a reduced role due to his age earlier this week and said he wouldn’t comply if asked, so don’t be surprised if he looks to make a statement immediately in the NFL season opener." OVER/UNDERs of 5.5 receptions and 58.5 receiving yards "look quite attainable."
