Chiefs big betting favorites vs. Titans, rookie ratings and more: SportsBeat KC podcast
The Chiefs were off last week, but they stayed busy.
Wide receiver Kadarius Toney joined the team. Cornerback Rashad Fenton departed. Injured players like rookie cornerback Trent McDuffie and defensive end Mike Danna worked their way back while the Chiefs worked out with suspended defensive end Frank Clark.
We talk about it all and then some on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast with host Blair Kerkhoff and columnist Sam McDowell and beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell. The show started as a SportsBeat livestream Friday morning.
Also, as Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans approaches, we wonder why the Chiefs are now a 12 1/2-point favorite against a team with the same record (5-2). And why the Chiefs have had so little success against Tennessee in head coach Andy Reid’s career in Kansas City.
Finally, we evaluate the Chiefs’ large rookie class.
