vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
KC grades out at just +0.485 points better than an average team on a neutral field, which is thin for a 4-1 club, and the rating cratered 3.126 points week-over-week with a -1.714 strength of schedule inflating the record. The last-five profile is genuinely strong (22.0 PPG scored, 11.2 allowed, +0.257 EPA per play, +13.5 point differential), but that's already baked into a rating that sits 4.45 points below market, so this is a sell — the market is pricing the Chiefs as contenders while the numbers say they're barely above average, and losing Rashee Rice plus Brashard Smith with L'Jarius Sneed questionable only widens the gap.
