Patrick Mahomes has not been an underdog many times in his career with the Kansas City Chiefs. But when he is, he usually performs quite well.
As Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk points out, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have been absolutely dominant in games in which they are underdogs to the point that it would be nearly foolish to bet against them in those situations.
“Counting Super Bowl LVIII, the Chiefs have now been underdogs 13 times in games Mahomes started. They’re 10-3 straight up in those games, and 11-1-1 against the spread,” Smith wrote for Pro Football Talk.
“That includes beating the 49ers 26-23 on Super Bowl Sunday, in a game San Francisco entered as a two-point favorite, as well as the two previous playoff games: Kansas City was the underdog not only in the Super Bowl, but also in the AFC Championship Game in Baltimore and the divisional playoff game in Buffalo. The Chiefs, of course, won all three games.”
This is obviously pretty insane news about how dominant Mahomes has been as an underdog, and the NFL world had a lot to say about it on social media.
People continue to pay the juice and bet against him though 😂🤡 https://t.co/LnhHhqSjEz

Mahomes in the playoffs is great for betting!
People havent figured that out yet
After he wins in Buffalo & in Baltimore, he is STILL underdog in a stadium he never lost in!
Bettors giving points went 0-3 on SF this postseason
Niners were great to bet against!— Maria Panova (@notsleeeping) February 14, 2024
Most games they had the Chiefs as underdog was just because they were on the road.

So next time you think about betting against Mahomes as an underdog, think twice.
