Kansas City Chiefs Betting Odds

Can the Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowl 2019? Current online sportsbooks have the Chiefs sitting at +500 betting odds. Goodbye Alex Smith and welcome to the Patrick Mahomes era in Kansas City. The 10th overall pick in the 2017 draft played sparingly during his rookie season. However, showed enough promise to head coach Andy Reid and the front office.

This offseason the Chiefs elected to ditch the aging Smith off a career season. They’ve now put the franchise’s trust in the 22-year old Mahomes. While Mahomes possesses loads of talent, it’s going to be his supporting cast that carries the load. Do they Chiefs have what it takes?

General manager Brett Veach can be credited to surrounding Smith with a plethora of weapons. Tight end Travis Kelce. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Also, running back Kareem Hunt all amassed 1,000 yards at their respective positions. It made the Chiefs one of the most balanced offensive units in the AFC and if it weren’t for a late-season downfall, they could’ve made a deep run in the postseason.

Even with the already explosive offense, the Chiefs have acquired former Rams wide receiver Sammy Watkins as he will become another deep threat for this speedy offense.

Rarely do we see young quarterbacks have these amount of weapons at their disposal and Mahomes couldn’t be in a better position. This is what the Broncos wish they had but now the Chiefs look like the most promising team in the AFC West entering the 2018 season.

We’ve seen second-year quarterbacks have Super Bowl success and what’s not to say Mahomes can’t do the same? It wouldn’t surprise us one bit with the talent the Chiefs have on their current roster. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes surprised everyone in the pre-season, if he is able to bring that same style of play into the regular season, it could be an exciting ride for the Kansas City Chiefs.
