O/U 11.5 Wins

According to Odds Shark, the win total for Mahomes and Co. is currently set at 11.5 games. Coming off of a season where Kansas City won 12 games, this seems to be a realistic mark that can go either way.

Based on winning percentage from last year, the Chiefs strength of schedule puts them at exactly .500. With six games against division rivals of Denver, LA and Las Vegas, division matchups against the AFC East and NFC South and the last two games being Houston and Baltimore, Kansas City definitely has its work cut out for itself.

With Mahomes and the offense leading the charge, they have proven over the last two years that they can put up points against anyone. On the other hand, Kansas City can also be liable to slip up against teams it believes that it can beat. While the percentage is not necessarily high, most of the teams the Chiefs will play have made improvements in key areas for 2020.

Looking back on previous years, Kansas City’s O/U was set at 10.5 wins in 2019 and 7.5 wins in 2018. Of course, these odds were made well in advance of the season starting, so no one truly knew what to expect from Mahomes two years ago.

One thing that is expected is the fact that Mahomes will either meet or exceed expectations. Hovering around 10-12 wins seems to be an attainable benchmark for Kansas City.
