"It's stupid" - NFL analyst in disbelief as Chiefs' odds lag behind Ravens and Bills in AFC championship race

NFL: Super Bowl LIX-Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles - Source: Imagn

The NFL oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2025 season, and the Kansas City Chiefs have found a spot toward the top. However, the Chiefs are not the favorites — not for the Super Bowl, not for the AFC Championship.

On Tuesday’s edition of the Up & Adams Show, NFL analyst Kay Adams said she doesn’t understand how the Kansas City Chiefs are ranked third in the betting odds to win the AFC, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

"The Chiefs are going to be the favorites, and they should be, and this is quite frankly irreverent. It's a little probably irresponsible, and I also think it's stupid, because I think and I'm hoping they see this and say 'Oh okay, and here we go on our revenge tour. Everyone's hair is on fire. Let's go.'"
