The Kansas City Chiefs are in familiar territory heading into Super Bowl LVIII.

For the third straight game, they are the underdogs, according to sportsbooks in Las Vegas.

BetMGM has the Chiefs at +2 on the spread, meaning they are two-point underdogs in the big game against the San Francisco 49ers. SportsLine, another sportsbook, has the same odds for Kansas City.

The spread is the expected point difference between the two teams. It is represented as both a negative and positive number.

Since the spread is two points, you’ll see that as both -2 and +2. The favorite to win the game gets the negative number, and the underdog gets the positive number.

If you were to bet on the Chiefs at these odds, you would win your wager if the team wins or if they lose by less than two points. For example, if you were to bet $100 on the Chiefs, you would win $210, according to BetMGM.

Reminder: sports gambling is legal in Kansas and Missouri residents do not have to live in Kansas to place wagers. All they have to do is cross the state line.
