The Kansas City Chiefs are once again positioned as one of the top contenders to win the Super Bowl next season, according to recent projections. With Patrick Mahomes at the helm and a team built for sustained success, the team has a strong chance to reclaim the NFL’s ultimate prize.
Projections from ESPN’s Football Power Index rank Kansas City as the second-best team heading into the 2025 season, just behind the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles. Kansas City holds an 11% chance of winning the Super Bowl, solidifying their status as a powerhouse in the AFC. Their potential for another Super Bowl matchup with the Eagles, which carries a 4.2% likelihood, is the most probable scenario among all league combinations.

Kansas City’s dominance in the AFC West remains uncontested, with the team continuing to outperform divisional rivals like the Chargers, Broncos, and Raiders. Offseason improvements, including the addition of left tackle Jaylon Moore and cornerback Kristian Fulton, address key weaknesses from last season. Promising rookies such as Josh Simmons and Omarr Norman-Lott also bolster the roster, making Kansas City even more formidable.
Despite losing in the Super Bowl last season, Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid are determined to get back on top. Mahomes, widely regarded as the league’s best quarterback, enters the season with a renewed focus to elevate Kansas City’s offense. His ability to adapt and “push the envelope,” as he described, will be pivotal in maintaining their competitive edge.
