The Kansas City Chiefs are the reigning NFL champions. However, their 2024 Super Bowl victory hasn’t impressed oddsmakers, who don’t consider them favorites for next year’s title.

There’s no doubt that Kansas City is currently the best team in the NFL. Having secured three Super Bowls in a five-year span, with a remarkable roster and a legendary head coach, it’s evident they won’t stop there.

In Super Bowl LVIII, the Kansas City Chiefs triumphed over the San Francisco 49ers, despite oddsmakers favoring the latter. However, their impressive victory hasn’t propelled them to the top of the favorites list for next year’s championship.
