Behind much of the Chiefs' success this season has been Kansas City's defense and the steady play of Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes has won MVP in each of the three Super Bowls the Chiefs have won with him under center and, at +105, he is the favorite at ESPN BET to take home a fourth award Sunday.
Mahomes hasn't put up his typical eye-popping numbers this season, but he continues to come up big in crunch time. He has eight winning drives in the fourth quarter or OT this season (including playoffs). In fact, all three of his Super Bowl wins have come with the Chiefs trailing in fourth quarter.
Will we see another comeback Sunday in New Orleans?

If Mahomes can secure his fourth Super Bowl win, he'll join Tom Brady and Joe Montana as the only players in NFL history to win four championships and two league MVPs in a career.
Mahomes has gone 288 consecutive attempts without an interception since throwing a pick in his final pass in Week 11 at Buffalo.
Mahomes is 3-1 outright and ATS in the Super Bowl. All of those games featured lines of three points or less. The Chiefs' past two Super Bowl appearances both went over the total.
Mahomes has excelled in tightly lined games. In games where the number closes between +3 and -3, Mahomes is 22-9-1 ATS, the third-best mark of any quarterback in the Super Bowl era (min. 20 games). He is 22-10 outright in those games, also the third-best mark.
At +105, Mahomes is the Super Bowl MVP favorite for a third straight year. In the past seven Super Bowls, the Super Bowl MVP favorite has gone on to win three times. Each time, it was Mahomes.
Mahomes has four straight playoff victories when trailing in the fourth quarter, the longest streak by a QB all time (streak started vs. Eagles in Super Bowl LVII). All three Super Bowl wins have come with him trailing in fourth quarter.
Mahomes has eight winning drives in the fourth quarter or OT this season (including playoffs), tied for the most in a season in NFL history.
Mahomes has averaged 5.8 yards per rush with seven first downs so far this postseason (excluding kneel-down).
Since 2018 when he made his playoff debut, Mahomes leads all players in yards (575), first downs (36) and TDs (four) on scrambles in the postseason.
