(BetMGM/WGR 550) - Before the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, I wrote of 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. Just 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.

- Straight up: 16-3
- ATS: 12-7

There’s another opportunity in Week 14, as the Chiefs look to rebound after a loss to the Green Bay Packers on "Sunday Night Football" at Lambeau Field. As of Tuesday’s NFL odds at BetMGM, Kansas City is 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.
