Will the Kansas City Chiefs Hold on To the AFC’s No. 1 Seed?

Kansas City Chiefs fans knew it was only a matter of time before their team would ascend to the No. 1 spot in the AFC. With the Pittsburgh Steelers losing their second consecutive game last week (this time to the Buffalo Bills), Chiefs fans got their wish.

However, while it is nice to be in a position to become the No. 1 seed in the AFC, it only matters if a team is in that position at the end of the regular season.

With the competition at the top of the AFC being what it is this season, the Chiefs certainly do not have the 1-seed locked up.

The odds are in their favor to remain the 1-seed (-3335; odds via DraftKings). But the Pittsburgh Steelers are still in the hunt (+1400), and so are the Buffalo Bills (+8000). According to those odds, the Chiefs have a 97.09 percent chance of being the No. 1 seed in the AFC this season.

With the odds so heavily in their favor, is there any value in betting either of the other two?
