LAS Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jersey VEGAS (AP) Minutes after on Sunday to clinch a spot in the Super Bowl, Travis Kelce had a me sage to send."The Chiefs are still the Chiefs, Kelce said.Bettors agree.The early money is heavily on Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City to repeat as Super Bowl champions when the Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11. That caused sportsbooks to drop the opening number that favored the Niners by 2 or 2 1/2 points to 1 or 1 1/2 points.ADVERTISEMENT opened the Niners as 2 1/2-point favorites, and that number was 1 1/2 on Wednesday.Caesars Sportsbook had San Francisco as a 3-point favorite last week in a hypothetical matchup with the Chiefs. But then Kansas City followed Roquan Smith Jersey a over Buffalo by shutting down Lamar Jackson as Kelce dominated and Taylor Swift cheered from a stadium suite.The 49ers had to rally from 24-7 down at home to . That was the second week in a row San Francisco had to come back to win after previously .So they havent looked good, said Adam Pullen, Caesars a sistant trading director. Jackson had a few errors, but I think the Chiefs had a more impre sive win. So I think that led to us opening at 2, opening even lower than what we predicted the week before. The money' Allen Robinson Jersey s been pretty steady on the Chiefs so far, so we're at 1 1/2."BetMGM public relations manager John Ewing said 71% of the bets and 78% of the money has come on the Chiefs on the betting spread, pushing the number on the 49ers from 2-point favorites to just a point. It was even more pronounced on the money line, with 84% of the bets and 79% of the money going to KC.Surprised?No, not given the recent play by Kansas City as underdogs here in the last two games in the postseason, winning both of those and looking good doing it," Ewing said. So we are not surprised that theyre getting the action right now.PROS STILL CARRY THE DAYProfe sional bettors, otherwise known as sharps, affect betting lines for all sports. The casual gambler? Not so much.But the Dick Butkus Jersey Super Bowl is one event where the casuals make up a much larger share of the money.It still doesn't matter.Public money won't move the line," Ewing said. Generally, the public likes to bet with their heart."LAS VEGAS' SUPER DEBUTPullen moved to Las Vegas in 1990 shortly after UNLV's basketball team won the national championship and the city was all about the Rebels.The Super Bowl being in Vegas wasn Chase Daniel Jersey 't on anyone's radar at that time.It's come a long way from being just UNLV Runnin' Rebel basketball and boxing to what it is now hosting every major sporting event, Pullen said. So, yeah, that's pretty crazy.GOING BIGA Michigan bettor at Caesars on the 49ers on the money line at minus-120. Another bettor at that sportsbook to come up tails at minus-105.___AP NFL:
