Cincinnati Bengals now bigger betting underdog to Kansas City Chiefs

There's been more betting line movement ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs playing for the AFC Championship at 6:30 p.m.

Kansas City, which opened as a 1.5-point betting favorite, moved to being the underdog by as much as two points earlier this week, but are now favored more heavily. The betting line for the game now has the Chiefs as 2.5-point favorites, according to Tipico Sportsbook.

Cincinnati had moved to being a 2-point favorite earlier in the week after news broke of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffering a high-ankle sprain during his team's divisional round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This morning's line movement means there's now been a 4.5-point line adjustment leading up to the game. The over/under point total is currently 48.

Cincinnati currently holds the majority of betting tickets, but Kansas City has the lead in overall money bet on a side for tonight's game, according to PFF Greenline.
