    Is there an arbitrage opportunity here?

    My book has the following line:

    DEN vs KC Regular Season Matchup
    • DEN wins both games -125
    • KC wins both games +750
    • DEN and KC each win a game +140


    The line on the game this weekend between the two is
    DEN -350
    KC +300

    I've looked at this from every angle I can think of, but without knowing what the line will be in game two, it's hard to come up with a way to play this. I do think that if KC manages a win this game, then DEN the should be a much smaller favorite in game two.

    Is there an opportunity here that I can't see?

    Thanks

    The line is set based on the lines of both games. Whoever wins game1 will have a marginal effect on the line in game 2. That is why there is juice on this play, so they can cover all avenues should an upset happen.

    First option is basically a parlay and implies DEN -250 for game two.
