The Kansas City Chiefs are favored in betting odds among all teams to win the Super Bowl next year.

Five months after celebrating their Super Bowl victory in the streets of Kansas City, the Chiefs are heading to their annual training camp in St. Joseph. Under quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the odds are looking good for another strong season.

The Kansas City Chiefs headed up the road to St. Joseph, Missouri, for training camp this week ahead of the NFL's 2023 season.

Patrick Mahomes and company will be looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions, a feat that has not been accomplished since the New England Patriots won consecutive championships nearly two decades ago.

KCUR sports contributor Greg Echlin thinks that they have a good shot to pull it off, and predicts that the Chiefs will end their regular season with a record of 13-4.

"The core of this team is back," said Echlin. "As long as they stay healthy and hold off their challengers, I think they're still very solid."
