Kansas City Chiefs Odds to Win the Super Bowl
Despite what felt like a bit of an off year for the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes and company went 11-6, won the AFC West and are once again playing in the Super Bowl.
They got here despite having to go on the road in each of the last two weeks -- something they'd never done previously in the postseason in the Mahomes era -- knocking off the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round before besting the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game.
As one of two teams remaining in this season's playoffs, what are the Chiefs' odds of winning it all this season, according to the Super Bowl odds at FanDuel Sportsbook?

Chiefs Analysis
This year's Chiefs team got things done a little differently than what we've been used to, but they still had plenty of success.
While the KC offense didn't operate at the same high-octane level of previous seasons, the Chiefs' defense was elite, ranking fourth overall and second against the pass, according to numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics. Kansas City was nowhere near as good against the run, though, checking in 86th. That could be an issue in the Super Bowl against a San Francisco offense that ranked second on the ground, although the Chiefs just beat the teams with the first- and third-ranked rushing attacks (Buffalo and Baltimore, respectively).
While it's true that KC's offense was down a bit, Mahomes and company were still pretty good, ranking ninth overall. Mahomes' clip of 6.9 adjusted yards per pass attempt was a career-low mark, though some of the blame falls to the Chiefs' pass-catchers, a group that mostly struggled all year outside of Rashee Rice. Even ol' reliable Travis Kelce wasn't the same, with his average of 65.6 receiving yards per game coming in as his lowest since 2015. With that said, Kelce has looked great in the playoffs, going for 75 yards and a pair of scores at Buffalo and torching the Ravens for 11 catches, 116 yards and a touchdown.
The Chiefs head to the Super Bowl as a slight 1.5-point underdog in a game with a 47.5-point total (as of Monday, January 29th).
