NFL season kicks off with a Chiefs win and, in Kansas, legal sports betting

NFL season kicks off with a Chiefs win and, in Kansas, legal sports betting. Hollywood Casino is one of four in the state offering in-person sports gambling. It is located just across the border from Missouri, where sports betting is still illegal. Matt Nelson and his friends came to the casino for a watch party to celebrate his first bets of the NFL season. The Chiefs were a six-point favorite in their game versus the Arizona Cardinals. Nelson bet over the total of 53.5 points and won. The game ended in a victory for the Chiefs. John Robinson used to bet on games in Iowa, but now he's saving money on gas.
