Why Bet on the Chiefs?

The Kansas City Chiefs begin the defense of their reign in the NFL after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in the last Super Bowl and confirming that Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback of this generation.

The franchise had a good preseason, winning two games and losing only one, which was in the 26-24 start against the New Orleans Saints. They then beat the Arizona Cardinals (38-10) and the Cleveland Browns (33-32).

During the market the team lost Frank Clark and offensive tackles Orlando Brown Jr. and Andrew Wylie, but obtained tackle Jawaar Taylor and defensive back Charles Omenihu, so they have a great roster. They also got an elite defender for Mahomes in Felix Anudike-Uzomah in the draft.

The offensive role is excellent when Mahomes has Travis Kelce and Andy Reid next to him.

For analysts, Kansas is the great favorite to repeat the NFL title, it is the rival to beat.

Why Bet on the Lions?

Last season the Detroit Lions finished with a 9-8 record and were left out of the playoffs by regulation, as the tiebreaker dictated that losing their game against the Seattle Seahawks would cause them to cede the seventh position in the National Conference in the event of a tie in the standings.

Like Kansas City, Detroit finished with a 2-1 record in the Preseason, falling 25-7 to the Jaguars, but outscoring the New York Giants 21-16 and the Carolina Panthers 26-17.

In the market the Lions moved to continue to upgrade their defensive backs, obtaining Brian Branch in the draft. This name joins Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Kerby Joseph to complete a versatile group of backs.

The defensive work puts this team as the candidate to win the National North Division, but it will also depend on the role of Jared Goff, who has everything at his disposal to give the Lions a quality jump.

Final Betting Analysis: Chiefs vs. Lions

The NFL has its kickoff with one of the best possible matchups, as the Kansas City Chiefs are the heavy favorites and the Detroit Lions have improved their team to reach the promised land.
