- Based on NFL Week 11 odds, the Chiefs are +700 to finish the season undefeated.
- Not since the 2007 Patriots has a team finished the regular season undefeated.
- I predict the Kansas City City will not finish the season undefeated.
Based on NFL odds from the BetMGM online sportsbook, the Kansas City Chiefs are +750 to finish the regular season undefeated.
Kansas City has begun the season with eight straight wins. Dating back to last season, Patrick Mahomes and company have 14 straight wins.
If the Chiefs complete the season with zero defeats, it would mark the first time since the 2007 Patriots a team finished the season unbeaten.
Let’s dive into the current odds and my prediction for whether Kansas City finishes the year unbeaten.
NFL Odds: Chiefs to Finish Undefeated
| Week Number | Market | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 10 | Chiefs O 16.5 Wins | +750 | 11.8% |
| Week 11 | Chiefs O 16.5 Wins | +700 | 12.5% |
Prediction: Will the 2024 Chiefs Go Undefeated?
Based on Kansas City’s flawless record in one-score games and the difficulty of their remaining schedule, I predict the Chiefs won’t finish undefeated.
The price on an unbeaten season is definitely intriguing. However, this team’s luck has to run out eventually….right?
Kansas City is a perfect 8-0 this season. However, six of those wins have come by seven or fewer points, with the Chiefs finishing 6-0 in those contests.
Across Kansas City’s 14-game winning streak, only three wins have come by double digits.
Given those trends, it’s unsurprising to see Kansas City’s expected win-loss record this season is 5.5-2.5 compared to its 8-0 actual record.
The remaining schedule also does Kansas City no favors.
After a Week 10 matchup at home against the Broncos, Kansas City faces a Week 11 trip to Buffalo.
If Kansas City avoids defeat in that contest, the schedule softens for a few weeks. After Buffalo, Kansas City’s next three games come against Carolina, Las Vegas and the Chargers.
But Andy Reid’s side closes out the year with games against the Browns, Texans, Steelers and Broncos.
Given the amount of potential pitfalls in that nine-game sample, I’d elect to bet against the Chiefs finishing the season undefeated.
Kansas City Chiefs Remaining Schedule
| Week Number | Opponent |
|---|---|
| Week 11 | Bills (A) |
| Week 12 | Panthers (A) |
| Week 13 | Raiders (H) |
| Week 14 | Chargers (H) |
| Week 15 | Browns (A) |
| Week 16 | Texans (H) |
| Week 17 | Steelers (A) |
| Week 18 | Broncos (A) |
When Was the Last Time an NFL Team Finished Undefeated?
The last time an NFL team finished undefeated came back in 2007 when the New England Patriots finished 16-0.
Tom Brady notched two playoff wins to move to 18-0 ahead of Super Bowl 42. Despite closing as 12.5-point favorites against the Giants, New England fell 17-14, ending its unbeaten run.
