The KC Chiefs aren’t in Super Bowl 50 this season, but there are some prop bets that Chiefs’ fans can support.

A prop bet doesn’t have anything to do with the actual outcome of the game, at least for the most part. What that means is you aren’t actually betting on who is winning the game, but on things that may or may not happen.

Before we dive into the prop bets that KC Chiefs fans should be able to support, I’ll explain a little about how the different kinds of betting will work. I should also state that when I say Chiefs’ should ‘support’ these bets, it means these bets may have something to do with the Broncos losing. I think it’s fair to assume that most Chiefs’ fans don’t want to see their rivals leave with a victory.

For all slides in this slideshow, an example of a $100 bet will be used. I chose this example simply because it’s easier to explain how the payouts work. Espn.com has a link that can explain the odds and money lines also.

Let’s say something has odds of 10:1. What that means is a bet of $100 would pay out 10 times the bet plus your original $100. A $100 bet at 10:1 would see a $1,100 payout. (Your $100 bet plus your $1,000 winnings)

Money lines are a little more confusing. Simply put, a money line gives you two options: A favorite and an underdog. The favored outcome will have a (-) in front of it while the ‘dog’ will have a (+). Let’s use the money line on the game itself for this example.
