The defending two-time Super Bowl champion Chiefs are 12-1 on the season, but sit at 18.2% implied odds to win it all. The betting market seems to have concluded that Kansas City has lost its knockout punch. The numbers would agree too. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/598...
They do seem to have a 4 leaf clover, rabbits foot, and a horseshoe up their ass.
and, I hate to say it, Tay voodoo
Big mistake. The Chiefs are gamers. They know how to finish games. Never bet against Mahomes. Never.
Yeah, they know that they can jump offsides and hold in the final 4 minutes and get away with it.
Fun fact, when I was a teen I lost $200 to my friends when I said “Never bet against John Elway”.
So you'll take the Lions -14.5 vs the Chiefs in the SB, right?
I would
I definitely hope Chiefs three peat; that would be historic & certainly solidify Mahomes resumé against Brady. I do agree though that these close games are concerning; wacky plays can happen in playoffs with low margin of error. Ideally, rooting for Lions v Chiefs.
The numbers should watch the games and realize the Lions are playing an aggressive style that maximizes scoring points while the Chiefs are playing a much more measured gamed aimed at controlling possessions and manufacturing situations that maximize the chance to win the individual contest.
Lions are much better for fantasy, but Chiefs are so good at this point they have gears to their play they exclusively save for the playoffs.
Go Lions
Worst 12-1 team in the history of sports.
It’s almost like there’s some supernatural force helping them win. Maybe one that wears stripes 🤔
Well, my property taxes went up 33% this year. The umpire fund was getting low! The stripes didn't kick the field goal.
Still a great team. But I understand the odds. Flirt with disaster every week in the regular season, often catches teams in the playoffs.
Eagles have 108 point differential. Go Birds!
it's not how many points a team scores, it's how many wins they secure.
What baffles me is they struggled last year but lost games but now we expect them to be worse when the playoffs start? I want the Steelers to win it all, but until someone beats KC when it matters, my money is on them.
Without that zebra defense KC would be 8-5.
plus minus 56?
It’s the Lions turn!!
oh look, turns don't matter.
But you're still guessing. And calling a guess "odds" does not change that reality.
Hand them half one score games as losses. Still impressed?
lions are pretty great but the chiefs just squeeze out those wins like nobody else it’s hard to bet against them lol
Good thing betting markets don't decide shit
Thank you for reinforcing why I didn't renew
Too much luck to get to that record.
Ok, that's fine. Write us off. IF we are able to get the record 3rd SB title in a row, you sports media jackasses are NEVER going to hear the end of it from me!!
