Current prediction market prices sharply diverge from the consensus of mainstream sports media and oddsmakers. In mainstream views, the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs are firmly in the top tier alongside the Ravens and Bills, yet they are priced 3rd/4th here (11c).

This deviation is likely driven by illiquidity and the irrational preferences of amateur bettors in this specific market.
