Where to Bet: Chiefs vs. Patriots: Gronkowsky Gets Knee Treatment

The Chiefs vs. Patriots betting line was now at New England -5 and this is the number the game opened at. We were seeing the most balanced wagering action of the four Divisional Playoff games.
The Chiefs and Patriots have nearly identical records with Kansas City having one additional loss after playing last week when New England was off.
KC dismantled New England last year and the Patriots may be seeking to avenge that loss.
The Patriots, however, will come into Saturday with a series of injuries. One of those injuries includes tight end Rob Gronkowski, who spent a part of Thursday in a Boston hospital getting treatment on his injured right knee. He is expected to play on Saturday but it remains to be seen whether he will play at 100 percent.
Kansas City is currently the hottest team in the NFL, riding an 11-game win streak.
"You don't win 11 games in a row by accident," Patriots special teamer Matthew Slater said. "There are not a lot of things that they haven't been doing well."
