How many games will the Kansas City Chiefs win in the 2020 NFL season? We look at BetMGM‘s projected win total and the Over/Under odds, while looking back at the 2019 season and key offseason roster changes.
Kansas City Chiefs’ 2019 season
Despite hitting a bump in the road with QB Patrick Mahomes‘ injury, the Chiefs cruised through the regular season to a 12-4 record. They erased huge deficits in two of their playoff games and came back in Super Bowl LIV, too, in winning the Lombardi Trophy.
In their 19 total games between the regular season and postseason, the Chiefs were 13-5-1 against the spread, the best mark in the NFL. They also finished with an 10-9 Over/Under record (8-8 regular season, 2-1 postseason).
Kansas City Chiefs’ 2020 offseason changes
As good as the Chiefs were a season ago, they might be even better in 2020. They’re set to return 20 starters from the team that won it all last year, and also signed players such as CB Bashaud Breeland and TE Ricky Seals-Jones.
The biggest addition of all, however, was the selection of LSU RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire at No. 32 overall in the draft. He’ll be an impact rookie and likely the team’s top running back in Week 1.

Projected wins: 11.5 / OVER: -130 / UNDER: +110
The Chiefs are already the betting favorites to repeat as Super Bowl champions, and there’s no reason for them not to be. They didn’t suffer any major losses, added Edwards-Helaire and have a healthy FS Juan Thornhill returning.
No one else in the AFC made major strides on the path to unseating the Chiefs as the best team, either. The Chiefs are in a great position to repeat as not only AFC West champions, but also to reach the Super Bowl again.
Looking at their recent history, there’s a great chance they’ll finish with at least 12 wins, too. They’ve gone 12-4 in three of the last four years and have teams such as the Dolphins, Jets, Falcons and Panthers on their schedule.
Their other opponents aren’t easy outs, but the Chiefs should go at least 12-4. Bet the OVER 11.5 (-130), and bet on Mahomes to continue working his magic.
