The Kansas City Chiefs have outscored their last two opponents by a combined tally of 61-17, and that two-way dominance has them back in a familiar spot: atop the Super Bowl odds. The Chiefs jumped to the top of the Super Bowl LX futures with a 31-0 win over the rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8, moving from +650 to +550.

The Kansas City Chiefs were the second-overall favorite to win the Lombardi Trophy — behind the Buffalo Bills at +600 — after their win over the Detroit Lions in Week 7. But after Sunday’s shutout and the Bills on a bye week, oddsmakers adjusted the Chiefs to the Big Game favorites.

Patrick Mahomes & Co. were around +800 to win Super Bowl LX at most shops before the start of the season. Following two losses to start the schedule, Kansas City soared to +1500 entering Week 3. Even before the win over Detroit, KC was +1000 in the SBLX futures.
The Chiefs defense is playing at a very high level, and the offense just returned receiver Rashee Rice from a six-game suspension on Sunday. He had an instant impact, catching seven passes for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Las Vegas.
There’s a good chance Kansas City will be an even bigger favorite in the futures market in Week 8.
The Chiefs host the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, with questions around the health of Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, who left Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys with a hamstring injury.
