Kansas City Chiefs NFL Week 15 Betting Lines

I spoke of the Kansas City Chiefs extinguishing the seventh of the nine lives the football gods granted Andy Reid’s squad at the outset of the NFL betting season in the prior week’s escape of the division rival Raiders. Though the defending champs took it to the wire on Sunday night to best the Chargers 19-17, failing to cover the closing NFL spread a seventh straight time, I’m not going to subtract another life from the tally since Patrick Mahomes and Co. earned that dub all the way through. Though Justin Herbert was able to bring the Bolts all the way back from a 13-0 halftime deficit, it never once felt like the Chiefs wouldn’t end up on top of that one. In pulling out the non-covering win, Kansas City locked up a ninth straight AFC West title and enters the final stretch holders of the top-seed in the conference due to the Buffalo Bills getting tripped up on the west coast. Though KC has put its wagering supporters in the poor house since late-October, NFL bettors have had no issue piling on for their Week 15 trek to the “Dawg Pound” where they’ll run up against Jameis Winston and the recently eliminated Cleveland Browns.

In sweeping the season rivalry from the Chargers, the Chiefs odds of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy moved to +425 from +500, while their odds of being the AFC’s last standing team shortened to +160 from +215. Kansas City cashed in as -300 pre-season favorites to take down the AFC West a ninth straight time, and -650 chalk to return to the playoffs. Their adjusted in-season win total odds also remained a league-high 14.5 but with slightly heavier juice now affixed to the over. The defending champs also moved to +130 choices from +190 favorites to tally the most regular season wins, slightly ahead of the Detroit Lions (+135).

Kansas City Chiefs Week 15 Matchup

On Sunday, December 15, 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Cleveland Browns from Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, OH. Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS. The lookahead NFL Week 15 betting lines hit the board with the Chiefs laying 5.5-points and the total lined 45.5. Though Kansas City has logged 50+ percent of the early bets and money since disposing of the Chargers in front of a nationally televised audience, linemakers are yet to move the number to beat off the opener. That likely has much to do with NFL crypto bettors watching the defending champs hemorrhage bankroll for their supporters away from Arrowhead with the team 5-1 straight up but horrific 2-3-1 against the NFL odds. It invades Cleveland having failed to cover each of the last three against the Raiders (W), Bills (L), and Panthers (W). Since opening the year with three straight low scorers in the visitor’s role, the over has cashed in each of Kansas City’s last three road games with an average of 51.7 points denting the board. For reference sake, the first three matchups only saw an average of 37.3 points scored. Total bettors are expecting the latter to play out in this one with the under taking in a heavy percentage of the tickets and handle forcing a market correction down to 44.

Kansas City Chiefs Week 14 Recap

The Kansas City Chiefs clinched their ninth straight AFC West title with a narrow 19-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, extending their dominance in one-score games to 10-0 this season and 15 straight wins over two years. The win and failure to cover the NFL spread (5-8 ATS) pushed the Chiefs to 12-1 overall, maintaining their status as two-time defending Super Bowl champions. Patrick Mahomes led the way, completing key plays during a 4.5-minute, clock-draining final drive to set up Matthew Wright’s game-winning 31-yard field goal, which bounced off the upright. Mahomes finished with 320 passing yards and a 2:0 TD/INT ratio. He also surpassed Dan Marino for the most passing yards in the first eight seasons of a career. Travis Kelce contributed 45 yards, becoming the fastest tight end to surpass 12,000 career receiving yards. Kansas City's defense excelled early, holding the Chargers to five first-half punts while Nick Bolton's pressure sidelined Justin Herbert briefly. The Chiefs led 13-0 at halftime, their largest lead and first first-half shutout of the season. However, the Chargers rallied with three second-half scoring drives, including a 4-yard touchdown pass from Herbert to Quentin Johnston. Despite taking three sacks, Mahomes orchestrated a composed final drive, highlighted by a clutch pass to Kelce, ensuring the Chiefs’ postseason presence remains locked in with it highly likely to secure the AFC’s top seed.
