Are you ready for some NFL playoff betting action? Tomorrow the NFL playoffs begin, Saturday at 4:35 PM EST, and the Kansas City Chiefs face the Houston Texans. Currently oddsmakers have the Chiefs posted as -3.5 road favorites with Andy Reid leading the charge. Alex Smith and the Chiefs have really come on as of late and we like the Chiefs Super Bowl 50 chances.

The Kansas City Chiefs are likely going to make the playoffs this year. Solid play from Alex Smith has netted the Chiefs a spot in the eventual AFC Wild Card game. This playoff game could give the Chiefs the boost they need in order to make it into the Super Bowl this season.

The Chiefs are longshots to win the Super Bowl. With many sports books having the Chiefs listed at 40/1 to win Super Bowl 50, it becomes kind of a stretch to put down serious money on the Chiefs. There are a few things going in your favor should you decide to bet on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl in 2015/2016.

The Chiefs don’t turn the ball over, which is a huge positive. The Chiefs are extremely efficient on offense. While the team doesn’t put up huge numbers, they do make the best of their possessions. The Chiefs have a good running attack with Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware sharing snaps.

Jeremy Maclin has emerged as Alex Smith’s number 1 target. This connection between the duo has proven to be a winning combination, as the Chiefs have won 8 games in a row. With the Chiefs finishing out the season against the Raiders, the Chiefs could have a double digit win total going into the playoffs.
