What is the story about?

In a recent article, Bleacher Report national writer Brad Gagnon expressed moderate confidence that the Kansas City Chiefs will hit on their -140 odds to win under 10.5 games next season.

“Consider that Kansas City was a six-win team last year despite the fact the defense was the healthiest unit in football in terms of adjusted games lost,” Gagnon said of the Chiefs’ disastrous 2025 campaign. “And now, a 30-year-old Mahomes is a question mark this summer as he recovers from a torn ACL/LCL.”

The Chiefs’ running game should improve with Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in their backfield, and Kansas City's air attack will benefit from having Rashee Rice back, particularly if he is able to play in all 17 of the team's regular season contests.

Expect

the Chiefs to come out swinging in the regular season as they look to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LXI.
