Betting on the Chiefs in MO: A Step-by-Step Guide
Sports betting is officially available in Missouri, and it’s worth knowing what to look for before placing your first NFL bets, especially on the hometown favorite, the Chiefs. With sports betting live, this guide serves as your playbook for making smarter wagers.
Pick an App
The first thing you have to do before placing any NFL or Chiefs bets is to decide which sportsbook you want to use. Luckily for you, you can check out our Missouri betting apps page, as well as individual brand reviews to figure out which operator(s) you want to go with.
If you plan on placing standard wagers like moneylines and spreads, the main difference between betting sites will be the odds of each market. If you want to dig a little deeper and place other types of bets like player props, doing your homework is worthwhile. Most sportsbooks offer a wide range of NFL odds and currently list the Kansas City Chiefs at +1700 to win Super Bowl 60. Sitting at 6–6, the Chiefs are still in the playoff hunt, but their odds have slipped significantly, and Kansas City needs a Week 14 win at home over the Texans on SNF on December 7.
Choose Your Wager
Because NFL betting is by far the most popular option across the US, you'll find some of the most expansive markets for football compared to other sports. Here are some of the most common bet types:
- Moneyline
- Spread
- Totals
- Parlays
- Prop bets
- Live betting
Before placing any wager, whether it's on the Chiefs, another NFL team, or a different sport altogether, be sure you understand how the market works. Moneylines are the most straightforward bet there is, while spread betting can be confusing to some at first.
For beginners, it’s wise to approach parlays with caution. While the idea of turning $5 into $5,000 is tempting, parlays are designed to be tough to hit, and that’s why sportsbooks profit the most from them and promote them heavily.
Missouri sports betting allows you to bet on futures such as the Chiefs playoff odds, Chiefs AFC Championship odds, Chiefs Super Bowl odds, and more.
What Are the Chiefs' Playoff Chances in 2025?
Here's a quick look at the Chiefs' odds to make the playoffs, along with additional betting-related markets at DraftKings Missouri. Keep in mind, these odds will shift throughout the season and can vary depending on the sportsbook.
| 🔥 Chiefs Playoff Chances | 50.0% (+100) |
| 🏆 Chiefs Chances to Win Super Bowl LX | 5.6% (+1700) |
| 👑 Chiefs Chances to Win AFC | 10.5% (+850) |
| 🥇 Chiefs Chances to Win AFC West | 6.7% (+1400) |
| ⭐️ Patrick Mahomes Chances to Win MVP | 1.9% (+5000) |
| 📆 Odds Last Verified | December 2025 |
In Week 13, the Chiefs have the fifth-shortest AFC title odds at DraftKings Sportsbook. Kansas City is dangerously close to missing the playoffs, and a win in their next game is critical if they want to keep their postseason hopes alive.
Choose Your Wager Amount
This is arguably the most important part of the process. When sizing your bets, the key advice is to choose an amount you’re comfortable losing and stick to it. Before placing any bet, imagine the money is already gone. If that thought makes you uneasy or unsure, it’s a sign to lower your wager.
Many sportsbooks also offer responsible gambling tools, like personalized settings where you can preset your bet amount. That way, when you’re ready, all you have to do is hit "Place Bet," helping you stay in control and avoid overspending.
