The Chiefs entered the season as the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl - and their perfect 7-0 record keeps them atop the oddsboard.

Patrick Mahomes & Co. began their quest for a three-peat at +500 odds, and their flawless start has made them shorten to +375. That implies a 21.1% probability that Kansas City will become the first team to win the Lombardi Trophy in three consecutive seasons.

The Chiefs accumulated 15.6% of the bets and 15.96% of the handle (money wagered), representing the most of any NFL team. Since the conclusion of Week 1, they're the third-most bet on team in terms of handle (12.13%) and first in terms of bet count (18.53%).

The Ravens have received the most handle since the season started, accounting for 21.3% of the money wagered. Their Super Bowl odds have shortened from +1000 to +600, making them the second-favorite team to win.

Before the season started, the Lions received the second-most bets behind the Chiefs (both in number of bets and handle). That early love remains: Detroit, the top-seeded team in the NFC, is still getting the second-most bets.

The Commanders are by far the biggest riser on the betting board: They opened the year with +15000 odds (0.7% implied probability), which have now shortened to +2200 (4.3% implied probability). Second overall pick Jayden Daniels has led the team's resurgence - they're 6-2 and holding the lead in the NFC East.

The Vikings have also flown up the oddsboard. Sam Darnold's career has been revitalized in Minnesota, leading the Vikings to an impressive 5-2 start.

The Bengals (3-5) and Cowboys (3-4) have experienced the biggest drops from their preseason odds. Both teams are struggling - the Bengals' only wins came over the Giants, Browns, and Panthers, while the Cowboys' -48 point differential is tied for the seventh-worst in the league.
