(Bet MGM) Before the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, we wrote about Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ dominance after a loss.
Two days later, the Chiefs covered the spread (-1.5) in a seven-point win, improving to 15-3 straight up and 11-7 against the spread (ATS) in games started by Mahomes that directly followed a loss started by Mahomes.
It happened again in Week 12. Six days after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, Mahomes and the Chiefs covered (-9.5) in a 14-point win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Let's take a look at the numbers. That moved them to 16-3 straight up and 12-7 ATS after a loss with Mahomes starting the games.
There’s another opportunity in Week 14 as the Chiefs look to rebound after a loss to the Green Bay Packers. As of the NFL odds at BetMGM on Tuesday, they’re a 2.5-point home favorite — and -140 moneyline favorite — over the Buffalo Bills.
Both teams are struggling against the spread lately. Since starting a combined 8-6 through the first seven weeks, they’re a combined 3-7, including 1-5 when the spread is fewer than eight points.
