A .3 Million Gamble: Bettor Backs Chiefs to Replicate 2021 AFC Championship Win

Created: JANUARY 26, 2025

A high-stakes gambler is banking on history repeating itself this weekend when the Kansas City Chiefs face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game.

With the Chiefs aiming for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl victory, one confident bettor has placed a substantial wager on them defeating the Bills, mirroring their 2021 AFC Championship triumph.

The wager, placed on the Chiefs moneyline at -130 odds, totals $1.3 million, with a potential payout of $2.3 million, according to Caesars Sportsbook. Currently, the Chiefs are favored by -1.5 points, while the Bills moneyline sits at +114.

Historically, the Chiefs have a strong track record in the AFC Championship, having reached the game for seven consecutive seasons. They've emerged victorious in four of the last five, leading to three Super Bowl titles, including two in a row. They're now striving to become the first NFL team to achieve a three-peat.

Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs' star quarterback, acknowledged the team's ambition for a historic three-peat while emphasizing the importance of cherishing each season's journey and shared experiences.

This matchup marks a continuation of the recent rivalry between the Bills and Chiefs. Three of Buffalo's last four playoff runs have been cut short by Kansas City: the 2021 AFC Championship game, a close overtime defeat in the 2022 divisional round, and another narrow loss in the 2023 divisional round.
