NFL betting trends: Patrick Mahomes is undefeated against the spread when getting a field goal or more.
Following the Kansas City Chiefs' thrilling 27-24 win against the Bills on Sunday in the AFC Divisional Round, Patrick Mahomes' legend only grew.
Mahomes won his first true postseason road game while also bolstering his status as the most reliable bet in pro football as an underdog. The Chiefs are into the AFC Championship Game for a sixth straight season, and along the way, oddsmakers have rarely made Kansas City an underdog, but nearly every time, Mahomes and company have come through.

The Chiefs covered as 2.5-point underdogs in Buffalo, another "upset" win for Kansas City. However, the team heads to Baltimore for another road test against the top seed in the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens.
Baltimore opened as a 3.5-point favorite, which will signal that Mahomes is catching more than a field goal, a situation that he has covered every time, per The Action Network.
The Chiefs opened +3.5 against the Ravens.
