Big Bets in Las Vegas Disrespecting Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs
By Joe Summers
Bets are flying in at sportsbooks all over the country and in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl and big bettors seem to be consistently disrespecting the Chiefs.
While we've seen some bets come in on Kansas City winning its third Lombardi Trophy in the last five seasons, Caesars Sportsbook and DraftKings have consistently seen heavy wagers backing the San Francisco 49ers.
Take a look for yourself below.
Bettors Overwhelmingly Disrespecting Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII
Ben Fawkes, who covers sports betting, reports that the biggest reported wagers nationwide have all been on the 49ers.
San Francisco is a favorite in the game, but we all know how good Patrick Mahomes is as an underdog. He's 9-3 outright in his 12 games in this spot. With Travis Kelce turning back the clock and the Chiefs' defense smothering opponents to oblivion, I'm exceedingly confident in Kansas City's chances.
We'll see how the final betting splits settle in throughout the rest of the week before the game. The house typically wins, and it's a good sign for Chiefs Kingdom that so many huge bets are backing the 49ers.
The question that always rings in my head: when will these people stop doubting Patrick Mahomes?
