Kansas City Chiefs

NFL Team Kansas City ChiefsThe Chiefs, eyeing the top-seed spot in the AFC, are thirsting for their seventh win. Their recent away games see them securing three wins out of their past four encounters. Patrick Mahomes, their quarterback, has been delivering commendably with a completion rate of 68.8%, amassing 2,258 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions.

Prediction 

The Chiefs, given their reputation and experience, will always be favorites. However, the Dolphins have emerged as the top-tier team this season, particularly on the offense. Their defense, rejuvenated with the inclusion of Jalen Ramsey, is primed for a thrilling face-off. With the recent defensive upticks, the Dolphins seem to hold the edge, making this Sunday’s game an enticing watch. For bettors, a wager leaning towards the Dolphins covering the spread in BUSR NFL Odds might be the smart choice.
