Football bettors are reportedly putting their money on the Kansas City Chiefs over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the upcoming Super Bowl 55, according to David Purdum of ESPN.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Chiefs are entering the title game as the favorites despite Kansas City technically being the road team against the Buccaneers.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and company have dominated the regular season after finishing with a 14-2 record to nab the AFC West Division title. They continued their stellar run in the postseason as they defeated the Cleveland Browns on a 22-17 win in the AFC Divisional Round.
