Kansas City Chiefs given best odds to win Super Bowl in 2020

The earliest lines are already out for next year’s Super Bowl and the Kansas City Chiefs have been given the best odds of the lot for a win in 2020.

If you’re wondering what long-term life is like with Patrick Mahomes as the quarterback for your favorite team, you might as well get used to not making any real plans this time of year so you can remain as close as possible to whatever you normally do on game day.

It’s very exciting for the Kansas City Chiefs to be playing meaningful football games this time of year, and fans have responded in masse with hype videos of their own, new tattoos, heightened discussions on social media about the joy they feel, etc. However, Las Vegas oddsmakers would likely want to tell Chiefs fans to get used to it. Mahomes is going to lead the team to these sorts of games on a regular basis.

The early betting lines are already out for Super Bowl 2020, as in Super Bowl LIV—otherwise known as next year’s Super Bowl—and the Chiefs have been given the best overall odds to win the game at 7/1. Before thinking about this too much, here’s the overall list:

For those of you who have been following the last few years, even that sounds a bit insane. Not only are the Chiefs one of the last four teams standing in 2019 but they are the odds-on favorites to lift high the Lombardi next year as well. In other words, Vegas thinks Patrick Mahomes could bring home two Super Bowl titles for the Kansas City Chiefs—a team who hasn’t been to a Super Bowl since 1970—before he’s even 25-years-old.

While the magical postseason run in 2019 is something to savor, it looks like Chiefs fans might eventually begin to get used to this—in much the same way that fans in New England or Pittsburgh or Green Bay or San Francisco adjusted to perennial playoff appearances and Super Bowl runs in years past. It’s a wonderful feeling, and for a franchise this hungry, it’s nothing that will be taken for granted any time soon.
