The Kansas City Chiefs are the final unbeaten squad in the AFC and one of two undefeated teams across the NFL. They share +750 odds to win the Super Bowl with the Buffalo Bills, sitting behind only the San Francisco 49ers at +540.
Kenneth Walker, the reigning Super Bowl MVP who arrived from the Seattle Seahawks this offseason, has produced more on the ground than his prior club. Walker has gained 665 total rushing yards and averages 113.0 per game, even after missing one contest. The Seahawks have managed 643 total rushing yards at 107.2 per game. Walker tops the NFL with 52 forced missed tackles and also leads in yards (183) and touchdowns (six) versus stacked boxes with eight or more defenders.
Russell Wilson, who hosts CBS Sports' "Set Hut" with Kyle Long, said of Walker: "Every time he touches the ball, there's a chance he may score." Wilson also remarked that Walker is bringing something Kansas City has never had, noting Mahomes never had a 1,000-yard rusher, and that Walker is changing the game for the quarterback.
Wilson named New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson as a trade target for the Chiefs, saying he would excel in an Andy Reid-style offense and that Kansas City never had a receiver like him. Long told Garrett Wilson not to waste his youth and to go get that Lombardi.
