It wasn’t the end to the season that the Kansas City Chiefs had hoped, but there’s no reason to believe they’re going anywhere. Down both starting offensive tackles, Patrick Mahomes was pressured by the ferocious Tampa Bay defense all night long and his team failed to score a touchdown. Despite the rough statline, Mahomes made some incredible plays to escape sacks and ultimately missed out on two touchdowns due to drops from his receiving corps.

Chiefs prop bets

Prop bets are based on individual performance, typically surrounding players. The Chiefs had one of the most explosive offenses in 2020 and therefore were one of the most popular targets for prop bets. For example, Patrick Mahomes had a projected passing total of 285.5 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 13 matchup with the Denver Broncos. That game, Mahomes passed for 318 yards, giving those who bet the over on his passing prop the win.

Chiefs futures odds

Futures are long-term bets that can range from an offseason to a full season (or beyond). Team win totals, award winners, and player performance are common futures. For example:

2020 Odds to win NFL MVP

• Patrick Mahomes +350
• Lamar Jackson +600
• Russell Wilson +800
• Deshaun Watson +1400

This line for the league MVP would often be bet before the season starts. Futures allow for bettors to capitalize on players they think are favorites to win awards long before the odds shift away from their favor. For example, Aaron Rodgers opened with odds of +2500 to win the MVP award; his odds quickly shifted as the season developed and Rodgers was the eventual winner of the award.

Chiefs Super Bowl LVI odds

After being beaten 31-9 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their second straight Super Bowl appearance, the Kansas City Chiefs opened as +550 favorites to win Super Bowl LVI.

Chiefs AFC West odds

The Chiefs clinched the AFC West in 2020 and are expected to be heavy favorites to win their sixth straight division title.

How to bet on the Kansas City Chiefs

Moneyline

The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:

• Chiefs -185
• 49ers +310

The Chiefs are considered heavy favorites in this matchup (indicated by -185), requiring a $185 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). The 49ers are the underdog in this matchup, paying out $410 total for a $100 bet ($310 in winnings). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.

Point spread

Betting on the point spread is determinant on how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:

Bet On Kansas City Chiefs Stadium

• Chiefs -7.5 (-110)
• Patriots +7.5 (-110)

In this example, Kansas City is favored by 7.5 points, indicated by “-7.5.” If the Chiefs win the game 30-21, the Chiefs (-7.5) win the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Patriots keep the game within eight and lose 28-24, the Patriots (+7.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.

Point total (over/under)

The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, the Chiefs’ Week 6 matchup with the Buffalo Bills had a projected point total of 59.5 points. Kansas City won the game 26-17, totaling 43 points. Those who bet under the point total in this game would have cashed out.

The Chiefs’ explosive offense and ability to score bunches of points in a short amount of time often gave them a higher than league average for over/unders. In 2020, it wasn’t uncommon to see point totals like the aforementioned 59.5 points and that’s expected to continue into 2021 as long as Patrick Mahomes plays at an elite level.

In-play and live betting

Sometimes, the most thrilling and rewarding bets are bets made while games are being played. These are referred to as live bets or in-play bets. Odds are ever-changing during games, which would prove to be fruitful for sharp and prepared bettors. For example, if the Chiefs (-255) were heavily favored against the Giants (+190) before kickoff, a payout on a $10 bet on the Chiefs to win would win just $3.92.

However, say the Chiefs fell to a big 17-3 deficit in the first half despite controlling the overall game (due to a costly turnover or special teams gaffe). Odds may swing in favor of the Giants, who may be a -110 favorite at halftime. Taking the Chiefs to come back and win the game could present plus-odds (say, +130). Should a bettor take Kansas City (+130) at halftime and the Chiefs pull off the comeback, winners would win $13 instead of $3.92 (plus the initial $10 bet).

This could also be an effective way to “hedge” your bet; say a bettor took the Giants (+190) in that game, but Kansas City jumps out to a 21-0 first quarter lead and is controlling the overall feel of the game, bettors could hedge by throwing some money down on Kansas City (-320) to return some of the inevitably-lost bet.

Parlays and teasers

You can always string bets together in the form of parlays or teasers. Usually during busy Sundays, bettors can parlay several teams to win or cover against the spread and if all bets are successful, the payouts are multiplied. Teasers function similarly, except they allow bettors to move each point spread to a more favorable line in exchange for diminished odds.

Chiefs 2020 recap

Record: 14-2

Record ATS: 7-9

Over/under record: 8-8

14-2 has become a sort of expectation for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after they’ve dominated the NFL for the past three seasons. Kansas City’s trademark one-play offense was ever-present under Andy Reid and it took them all the way to another Super Bowl. However, there was talk all season long that KC was letting their opponents stick around longer than they should have. Examples of this reside in Week 16 against the Falcons (17-14), in Week 13 against the Broncos (22-16), in Week 8 against the Panthers (33-31), and a handful of other weeks. This resulted in their 7-9 record against the spread.

Chiefs 2021 offseason moves

Key free agents: Sammy Watkins (WR), Daniel Sorenson (S), Bashaud Breeland (CB), Demarcus Robinson (WR), Austin Reiter (C), Mike Remmers (RG), Tanoh Kpassagnon (EDGE), Andrew Wylie (LG), Charvarius Ward (CB)

Draft pick position needs: OL, WR, LB

The Chiefs are in danger of losing a lot of their defensive players that played key roles in the past few seasons. Headlining the group are safety Daniel Sorenson and corners Bashaud Breeland and Charvarius Ward; all come with a reasonable price tag, though Sorenson is 31 years old. Expect Austin Reiter, Mike Remmers, and Andrew Wylie to return to the team as the Chiefs were exposed as needing all the offensive line help they can get.

Super Bowl LV showed that Kansas City’s biggest weakness is their offensive line and its lack of depth come the postseason. With the 31st pick in the first round, the Chiefs could be looking at players like Notre Dame’s Liam Eichenburg, Clemson’s Jackson Carman, or Ohio State’s Wyatt Davis. However, plenty of pass catchers are tantalizing at 31, especially with the expected departure of Sammy Watkins. LSU’s Terrace Marshall Jr. and Florida’s Kadarius Toney both fit the Chiefs’ offensive system (albeit in different ways) and have been mocked to KC plenty of times this offseason.

The Bills posted an emphatic 17-3 win over the Baltimore Ravens last week. It sets up a rematch of Week 6, a game the Chiefs won 26-17 in Buffalo as the Under (55) comfortably connected.The Chiefs hung on for a 22-17 win over the Cleveland Browns in the AFC Divisional Round, as backup QB Chad Henne led the team to a late, crucial first down to get the Chiefs over the hump.Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was cleared from the concussion protocol Friday and will be active Sunday after leaving in the second half of the divisional round win over the Cleveland Browns.Kansas City ranked 16th in the regular season in total yards allowed per game at 358.3, and they were 14th in the NFL with 236.2 passing yards allowed per contest.

Bills at Chiefs: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bills 30, Chiefs 27

Money line (?)

The BILLS (+150) are a good bet on the money line, as they’re playing exceptional football lately. Buffalo has rattled off eight straight wins, and 11 of its last 12.

Some in Bills Mafia would argue it should be 12 in a row, still angered by a crazy Hail Mary play in Arizona in Week 10 which resulted in a 32-30 loss.

Against the spread (?)

Kansas City Chiefs Doctor Player

BILLS +3.5 (-115) is the play here. Yes, K.C. beat Buffalo by nine earlier this season, but the Bills are 9-1 ATS across their past 10 games.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs are just 1-8 ATS over their previous nine games, with each of their past eight straight-up wins all one-score games, including three by 3 or fewer points.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 54.5 (-110) is the play in this AFC title game. Buffalo’s offense was high octane in the regular season, posting 396.4 total yards and 31.3 PPG, ranking second in the NFL in both categories. K.C. averaged 415.8 total yards and 303.4 passing yards per game to rank atop the NFL, while being rather middling on defense.

This has the potential to be a shootout.
