Native Texan Patrick Mahomes will make his first Thanksgiving Day start against the Dallas Cowboysthis season — and barring injury, the Chiefs will be favored. Kansas City opened as a 4.5-point favorite against host Dallas at sportsbooks Wednesday, with a total of 47.5. The Chiefs were favored in 14 of the 16 regular-season games last season that Mahomes started. Kansas City went 15-2 last season and earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC postseason, beating the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills en route to its third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. However, Kansas City failed in its quest for a three-peat, losing40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. The Chiefs are one of four teams — the Bills, Eagles and Baltimore Ravens are the others — tied with the NFL's highest win total at 11.5 atBetMGM, and Kansas City is favored to win the AFC West again. The Cowboys, on the other hand, have an over/under of 7.5 and currently have only the third-best odds (+700) to win the NFC East, behind the Washington Commanders (+225) and Philadelphia Eagles (-150). The Chiefs (+750) are tied with the Bills for the third-best Super Bowl odds at BetMGM, behind the Eagles (+650) and Ravens (+700).
