Kansas City has won 19 of its last 20 games, but everyone still wants to doubt the defending back-to-back Super Bowl champions.

The Chiefs are 13-1 this season but are 7-8 against the spread. However, they’ve covered two straight after not beating the spread in their previous six games.

Perhaps there was an overcorrection in the odds.

The Chiefs are raring into form, as FTN’s Aaron Schatz says that his stat, defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA), tells a story that Andy Reid’s group is playing some of their best ball of the season.

Their last three games (vs. Chargers, at Browns, vs. Texans) are the highest performances of the season in terms of DVOA.

Perhaps they are just getting healthy at the right time, as Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Isiah Pacheco are back from injury.
