The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and defending regular season champion Baltimore Ravens remain tied atop the Super Bowl 55 odds board as of late June.

Kansas City and their All-World QB Patrick Mahomes are back in the Super Bowl, 50 years later. And oddsmakers believe the Chiefs can emerge victorious over the San Francisco 49ers, opening them as slight 1-point favorites for those looking to place a bet on Super Bowl 54. Why are Chiefs Super Bowl 54 favorites? Conventional wisdom says 'defense wins championships,' and that theory would favor…
Any team that gets behind 24-0 in the playoffs, then wins 51-31 SHOULD be the Super Bowl favorite. And that's what Kansas City did and that's what Kansas is - the Bet on Super Bowl 54 favorite, according to Bovada. The Chiefs sit at +135 (meaning a $100 wager returns a $135 profit).

Seattle was 25-1 before the weekend and may still offer good Super Bowl 54 betting value at 11-1. The Seahawks flew past injury-riddled Philly in the Wild Card game and now visit Green Bay in the divisional round.
