We have real, live NFL football tonight with the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs (-3) hosting the Baltimore Ravens. From speaking to multiple bookmakers, the betting action has been remarkable balanced on this one, with sportsbooks pretty close to 50-50 action with regards to total bets and dollars wagered on the game.

At DraftKings Sportsbook right now, 53% of the bets are on Ravens +3, with 46% of the money on Baltimore to cover. As one Vegas oddsmaker told me last night, “Ticket count favors the Chiefs 51-49, overall money at this point is extremely balanced.”

Another oddsmaker told me yesterday: “We’re about 50-50, both moneyline and spread getting good two-way action.”

The biggest reported wager has been a $220,000 bet on Ravens +3 that one bettor made at the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas over the summer. Lamar Jackson is 12-1-1 against the spread (10-4 straight up) as an underdog in the regular season, which is the best record of any quarterback in the Super Bowl era with a minimum of five starts, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Here is the public betting info at BetMGM, along with 10 potential wagers for Chiefs-Ravens — including a few player props.

Enjoy the start of NFL season!
