Chiefs’ Super Bowl 61 odds are strong but they’re not the favorites to win the AFC

Despite starting the season 5-0, the Kansas City Chiefs are not the favorites to win the AFC according to DraftKings odds. The Buffalo Bills hold the top AFC spot at +395 odds, while Kansas City is second at +440. Overall, the San Francisco 49ers lead all teams in Super Bowl 61 odds at +540, with the Chiefs and Bills tied for second at +750.

Writer Luke Norris argues that Kansas City possesses better balance than Buffalo, highlighting the Chiefs' fifth-ranked scoring offense and second-ranked scoring defense. While the 5-1 Bills lead the league in scoring, Norris questions whether their leaky defense justifies placing them ahead of Kansas City. The two AFC contenders are scheduled to meet on Thanksgiving night.
