The Chiefs opened as a 1.5-point underdogs to start the week, but the betting public is backing the reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions as the odds have dropped down to a pick em’.

An ESPN BET spokesperson tells The Post that the public has placed 87.9 percent of the betting money on the Chiefs to beat the 49ers in Week 7.

San Francisco is missing Christian McCaffrey, while backup Jordan Mason is questionable to play due to an AC joint sprain.

Betting on the NFL?

Awaiting Mahomes is budding star Brock Purdy, who has had a massive season while missing notable playmakers all season.

Perhaps this is finally the time for the Chiefs to lose as underdogs, as the 49ers (3-3) don’t want to fall back below .500 after grabbing the NFC West division lead.
