What The Rest Of The Way Looks Like
The Chiefs started the season with a victory in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens and, unfortunately, for the trend, their NFL odds for the remaining four games until Week 6 are favored.
Week by Week Odds
Week | Opponent | Odds |
---|---|---|
Week 2 | Cincinnati Bengals | -6 |
Week 3 | Atlanta Falcons | -4 |
Week 4 | Los Angeles Chargers | -4 |
Week 5 | New Orleans Saints | -8 |
Despite the Chiefs being favored in these four games, the game to keep an eye on comes right now in Week 2 against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Burrow has been Mahomes’ kryptonite as he currently boasts a 3-1 record against the Chiefs in his career. That said, if there was ever a time to fade Mahomes and the Chiefs, it should be Week 2 against Cincy.
