Beware of this Patrick Mahomes underdog trend

The Kansas City Chiefs have been the favorite through their first five games of the 2024 season, but after their bye in Week 6, they are considered underdogs against the San Francisco 49ers in a Super Bowl rematch.

BetMGM Sportsbook has Kansas City as a 1.5-point underdog – very similar odds to last season’s Super Bowl, when Kansas City won in overtime.

While Chiefs fans may not like to see their 5-0 Chiefs as underdogs against a 3-3 San Francisco squad, there is a trend on their side.

In his career as an underdog, Patrick Mahomes is 11-1-1 against the spread and 10-3 straight up, an insane record.

The Chiefs got off to a fast start for bettors this season, going 4-1 against the table despite being favorites in every game. The only game Kansas City was unable to play in the 2024 season was against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.

San Francisco is coming off a big win against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6 on Thursday night, but they’re just 3-3 on the season.

Don’t be shocked if Mahomes and the Chiefs pull out a win as underdogs – he has done so 76.9 percent of the time in his career.
