CHIEFS WIN TOTAL 2021 | EARLY PREDICTION | NFL BETTING LINES | OSB
Chiefs Season Wins O/U 12.5
The Kansas City Chiefs had an incredible season in 2020 but it ended in disappointment. After going 14-2 through the regular season, the Chiefs eliminated two teams from the playoffs. They won the AFC Championship and head into the Super Bowl as a close favorite.
With the chance to win in back-to-back seasons, the Chiefs prepared to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were brought to a screeching halt when they faced Tampa Bay, who beat them 31-9 in the Super Bowl. After the close of last season, the win total odds have come out for 2021. The question now is whether or not the Chiefs will go over or under their expected 12.5 BetOnline win total. Let’s take a look at the Chiefs this season and make our pick
Mahomes & Co. Looking To Dominate The AFC
A team already expected to win the AFC doesn’t need to do much convincing but Head Coach Andy Reid made sure to improve on his team. They’ve signed a couple of offensive linemen to better protect Patrick Mahomes, who was under duress a lot in 2020. Their biggest problem in the Super Bowl was the inability to allow Mahomes time to throw downfield. This problem is something they’ll hope to remedy this season.
They’ve also made some key signings on defense, such as Safety Will Parks. They even acquired Mike Hughes, a defensive back from Minnesota. They brought in guard Kyle Long and Joe Thuney, making sure to protect their prized possession, Patrick Mahomes. With these additions, we can expect the Chiefs to be much better this year.
Chances The Chiefs Head Back To The Super Bowl
The chances for the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl this year are the best in the NFL. Slightly behind them are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You can surmise that sportsbooks believe both of these teams will return to the Super Bowl this year.
Their only problem last year was Tampa Bay was led by Tom Brady, who was having a ball in the NFC. Early on it was clear the Buccaneers knew exactly how to play against the Kansas City Chiefs. By the end of the game, the Chiefs only scored nine points, losing the game 31-9. This season, after retooling the defense, the Chiefs look to return to the Super Bowl, with better results.
Could The Chiefs Secure Thirteen Wins?
Based on their 2021 schedule there are four games the Kansas City Chiefs are in danger of losing. If they were to lose all four of those, that would still leave them with a 13-4 record, enough to cover the total. Head to BetOnline to place your bet on the Kansas City Chiefs. Even the four games that we consider to be a “push” could even go in favor of the Chiefs, giving them an even better record.
The offense of the Chiefs is guaranteed to be better this year, mainly due to their revamped offensive line. That will give Mahomes time to move the ball downfield, similar to their Super Bowl season. The load now will be on their defense to hold up their side.
