Super Bowl odds: Chiefs remain on top after all contenders win | The Athletic

The Kansas City Chiefs remain the favorites to win the Super Bowl with +450 odds after a convincing Monday night win over the Washington Commanders. There are still plenty of talented teams in the mix behind them with still over half the season left to go.

Kansas City stays on top ahead of showdown with Buffalo

The Chiefs are still in the driver’s seat after winning for the fourth time in five games. Kansas City pulled away thanks to its balanced offensive attack and dominated after a strange start to Monday’s game. By putting away the Jayden Daniels-less Commanders, Kansas City raised its odds slightly from +500.

The schedule picks up significantly for the Chiefs the next few weeks. This week finally brings the highly-anticipated showdown against the rival Buffalo Bills (+750).

After Buffalo, Kansas City gets a bye week before returning to face two division leaders in Denver and Indianapolis. Getting through that three-game stretch unscathed would clearly put the Chiefs as the team to beat entering the final stretch of the regular season.

Quarterback

First team (1): Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs

Second team (1): Matthew Stafford, Rams

Mahomes is the betting favorite on every book in America, and rightfully so. After watching Kansas City morph into a defense-first team the past two seasons, Mahomes and his offense are back. The two-time MVP has thrown for 2,099 yards and accounted for 21 touchdowns with four interceptions.

Meanwhile, Stafford entered his Week 8 bye with 1,866 passing yards and 17 touchdowns. The Rams have one of the league’s most explosive pass-catching duos, with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and Stafford has taken full advantage.

On Monday, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt addressed the status of the team’s effort to achieve a long-term solution.

The comments came in the context of the recent ouster of Jackson County, Missouri, executive Frank White via a recall election. White was replaced by Phil LeVota.

“We have had some preliminary conversations with [LeVota],” Hunt said, via KMBC.com. “He obviously has a lot of things on his plate, but he expressed eagerness to work with us, and we expect to expand those conversations in the coming weeks.”

The threshold question continues to be renovation vs. new construction, with the likely destination being the other side of the Missouri-Kansas border.
