Kansas City Chiefs Odds

Kansas City Chiefs Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

What really needs to be said about the Kansas City Chiefs at this point? They’ve got Patrick Mahomes, therefore, they always have a chance.

Since Mahomes became the Chiefs’ full-time starter in 2018, they’ve made four Super Bowls (3-1) and two AFC Championship games.

Accordingly, the Chiefs are one of the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl in 2025-26 with +800 odds. Their win total is set at a robust 11.5 entering the preseason.

Mahomes is still coached by Andy Reid and flanked by one of the best tight ends in NFL history, Travis Kelce. An emphasis was made during the offseason to address playmaking around Kelce as he enters the twilight of his career.

As impressive as the Chiefs are on offense, their defense played a pivotal role in their most recent Super Bowl win. Steve Spagnolo still calls the shots and Chris Jones leads a defense looking to help the Chiefs three-peat for the first time in history.

The Chiefs begin their season at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5.

Betting on the Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs Point Spreads

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Here’s an example:

• Chargers +2.5 (+110)
• Chiefs -2.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Chargers are 2.5-point underdogs against the Chiefs. If Kansas City wins the game by three or more points, a $100 wager on the Raiders would come with a payout of $90.91. If Los Angeles won the game outright or lost by two points or fewer, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Chiefs Over/Unders aka Chiefs Totals

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Jets play the Chiefs and the over/under is set at 55 points. A wager on the over would require Kansas City and New York to score 56 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 54 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 55 points scored.

Kansas City Chiefs Moneylines

The moneyline is as straightforward as it gets when it comes to betting. The only thing to do here is pick the winner. Check out this example:

• Chiefs -110
• Broncos +230

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, Kansas City the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Chiefs odds would mean every $11 bet nets $10. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Broncos moneyline was set at +230, meaning a $10 wager would profit $23.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Chiefs moneyline and -2.5 point spread, Kansas City would need to win by three points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Kansas City Chiefs Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Patrick Mahomes 2025-26 season passing yards: 4,000.5

Basically, you are betting on whether Mahomes will go over or under 4,000.5 passing yards over the course of the season.
