Chiefs No Longer Super Bowl Favorites After Shocking Loss

The Chiefs have been Super Bowl favorites all offseason but now find themselves looking up at the 49ers following a shocking Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Kansas City had +600 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook to win it all just last week. After San Francisco annihilated a trendy Steelers team while the Chiefs looked out of sorts, the 49ers overtook Kansas City and the Chiefs are now looking up at a team for the first time in months.

I see value in backing the Chiefs. Kansas City should bounce back and get a massive matchup against the Jaguars this week. Can the Chiefs reclaim the top spot in the betting market?

Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Odds

At +700, the Chiefs are now tied with the Eagles for the second-highest odds to win the Super Bowl. Kansas City leads all AFC teams, though the Bills (+900) could make a jump with a convincing win on Monday Night Football this evening.

We’re not even one full week into the regular season, so I’m happy to gobble up value backing the Chiefs. Travis Kelce and Chris Jones will both be on the field sooner than later, and I don’t expect Kansas City’s wide receivers to drop every single pass moving forward.

Given no significant players suffered a big injury provided Kelce’s knee doesn’t hobble him, the Chiefs are the same team they were a week ago when they were favored to win it all.
