Oddsmakers opened Super Bowl LVII as a pick’em<\/a>, but early money backed the Philadelphia Eagles. The point spread hovered between -2 and -2.5 on Monday at various sportsbooks in Las Vegas, offshore, and on online apps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nOn Tuesday morning, the Eagles were still the favorite. But oddsmakers across the board adjusted the point spread to -1.5<\/p>\n
Super Bowl LVII is scheduled for February 12. The current injuries on the Chiefs haven’t been a major factor in line movement. All three wide receivers have nearly two weeks to recuperate. The injuries could become a factor later next week if any of them, particularly Smith-Schuster, are still not practicing with the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
JuJu Smith-Schuster (Knee)<\/h2>\n
Smith-Schuster signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs in the off-season after they traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n
In his first season with the Chiefs, Smith-Schuster emerged as the top wide receiver on the roster. He led all wideouts with 78 receptions and 933 yards. He also added three touchdowns.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the AFC championship, Smith-Schuster caught only one pass for seven yards before he left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury.<\/p>\n
During a press conference on Monday, head coach Andy Reid didn’t elaborate on Smith-Schuster’s status or the severity of his knee injury. The NFL Network reported that he struggled to walk up the stairs to enter the Chiefs’ locker room.<\/p>\n
Kadarius Toney (Ankle)<\/h2>\n
The Chiefs acquired Toney in a midseason trade with the New York Giants. In seven regular games with the Chiefs this season, Toney emerged as a deep-threat weapon. He caught 14 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
\n
In his first postseason game with the Chiefs against the Jaguars, he contributed five catches for 36 yards and zero touchdowns. He also added 14 rushing yards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In the AFC championship against the Bengals, Toney caught one pass for nine yards before he exited the game with an ankle injury in the first quarter. He nearly caught a sensational touchdown pass from Mahomes. But the ball hit the ground in the end zone and officials ruled it an incompletion.<\/p>\n
