It’s never too early to bet on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl again in 2024

Chiefs #Chiefs

Not even a minute after hoisting his second Lombardi trophy in four years, Patrick Mahomes was asked whether he considered the Kansas City Chiefs a dynasty. His response painted a picture for what’s to come:

“I’m not going to say dynasty yet. We’re not done.”

Even after playing in five straight AFC championships, winning three and claiming two Super Bowl titles, Mahomes still thinks the Chiefs can accomplish more. We’d all be foolish to doubt him.

Kansas City is the early favorite to win the Super Bowl in 2024 with +600 odds, and it’s never too early to get in. Those odds may never be as good as they are today.

Leading up to Sunday’s game, it was common to hear about how the Philadelphia Eagles were the better team. Anyone who dared to pick Kansas City did so for one reason only, and that was because of the man playing quarterback — the eventual MVP of the game — Mahomes.

But the Chiefs were painted as a bigger underdog than they actually were. They went 13-3 and earned the top seed in their conference just like the Eagles. They navigated a tougher playoff path to reach the big game. The spread was only 1.5 points. Sure, Philadelphia was maybe the more complete team, but the gap between the two wasn’t as large as people made it out to be.

And the Chiefs aren’t going anywhere.

Two players who scored touchdowns against the Eagles were rookies — running back Isiah Pacheco and Skyy Moore. Another player, Kadarius Toney, was a mid-season pickup. The defense was a middle-of-the-pack group in terms of points and yards allowed this season. This team has a ton of potential for growth, which is scary to think about.

As long as the Chiefs have Mahomes and Andy Reid, they’ll be in contention. But the team around them is better than people give credit for. A dynasty isn’t out of the question, and KC can cement itself as one as early as next season.
