Kansas City: favored to win

Statistics show that if the Chiefs have truly been able to fix their pass protection, they are likely to reach the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes is a highly effective quarterback with a great ability to improvise. Kansas City must not be complacent simply because the odds are in their favor.
