Top flight receiver or no top flight receiver, the Kansas City Chiefs are still one of the top Super Bowl contenders in the NFL. They have wins over some the league’s best offenses in the Cardinals and Chargers, but also a tough loss at the Colts in Week 3. Patrick Mahomes continues to be one of the NFL’s best QBs, leading all QBs in passing touchdowns through two games. One game, it was an offensive barrage; the next, it was defensive heroics. The status quo remains and Kansas City is going to be in title contention once again.

Week 4 Odds: Chiefs at Buccaneers Spread, Total & Moneyline
Coming off their first losses of the season, the Chiefs and Buccaneers meet up on Sunday Night Football. Kansas City is a road favorite against Tom Brady and Tampa Bay. The Bucs are dealing with a litany of injuries to their receiving corps and offensive line, leading to visible frustrations from Brady in the past two games. As a result of a stripped-thin WR corps, the Bucs are last in the NFL in rushing explosiveness.
The Chiefs under Mahomes are 11-3 coming off a loss since 2018. Bucs’ receiver Mike Evans will be back from suspension, but watch for the status of Julio Jones and Chris Godwin, who have both missed time with injuries. The over/under is currently set at .

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:
- 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.
Live betting and in-play
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.
Futures
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.
Chiefs 2021 recap
Record: 12-5, First in AFC West. Lost in AFC Championship Game to Bengals.
Record ATS: 8-9
Over/under record: 10-7
A rough 3-4 start to the season cast some doubt on the Kansas City Chiefs. However, a remarkable defensive turnaround pushed the Chiefs to a 12-5 record, another AFC West title, and their fourth straight AFC Championship appearance. Patrick Mahomes hit his stride just in time for the playoffs, but their Super Bowl chances were dashed a game short. Travis Kelce continued to set the bar for tight end play in the NFL and the offense remained explosive. But coming up short of a title has to sting a bit for KC.
