Even before the Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid-led Kansas City Chiefs won their first of three Super Bowls in 2019, Arrowhead Stadium was billed as one of the toughest places to play in the NFL. That reputation only grew as the team morphed into something resembling a dynasty, leading up to last year's undefeated 8-0 home campaign for KC.

Through all that winning, as you can imagine, not many teams were favored to go into that stadium against that team and walk out with a win. In fact, the Chiefs haven't been home underdogs since 2022, according to DraftKings. As they get set for a Super Bowl rematch Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, however, that seems likely to change.

As of Monday, the line is in favor of the Eagles at -0.5.

It's not a huge margin in the spread, but it is a significant departure from what we're used to seeing -- even it's not surprising given the opponent. The Eagles mopped the floor with the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, and they continued to look like the better team in Week 1. Not to mention, Kansas City lost another wide receiver in their opener.

It's also worth noting the Chiefs lost the last time they were home underdogs, dropping a Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills after Josh Allen threw the game-winning touchdown with a minute left.
