Last year, the Chiefs closed as a 1.5-point favorite over the San Francisco 49ers for Super Bowl LIV. Thanks to a epic fourth-quarter comeback, Super Bowl LIV MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs won 31-20. As a result, the Super Bowl favorite covered the spread for the third time in four years.

Chiefs Add Duo to COVID List
Today, Chiefs center Daniel Kilgore and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson were placed on the COVID/reserve list. Fortunately for the Chiefs, it is because of contact and not because either has tested positive…yet. If they continue to test negative, then they will be able to take the field on Sunday.
In the regular season, Robinson was third on the team in catches (45), fourth in receiving yards (466), and fourth in receiving touchdowns (3). In the postseason, he has only one catch for 14 yards in two games. Kilgore, meanwhile, is the backup to Austin Reiter at center. He played in seven regular-season games, with four starts, and has not played any offensive snaps in the postseason. For depth reasons, Andy Reid will be hoping that both players get through this week without testing positive. But in terms of Super Bowl betting, either or both being out would not move the needle.
