Missouri sports teams to bet on

Sports betting is live in Missouri, and you can bet on your favorite Missouri teams. Here's some basic betting information on each team

Kansas City Chiefs (NFL)

The Kansas City Chiefs have been the NFL's premier team over the last handful of years after winning three Super Bowls and appearing in two others since the 2019 season. Head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce have spearheaded the NFL's latest dynasty, and the Chiefs have +1600 odds at DraftKings to win the next Super Bowl, as of November 30, 2025.

Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals (MLB)

As for MLB, 2025 was a down year for the Kansas City Royals, who made the postseason in 2024 as a Wild Card team and appeared in the ALDS. They failed to reach the postseason this year after entering 2025 with high expectations. Kansas City has +4000 odds to win the 2026 World Series.

Sticking with MLB, the St. Louis Cardinals were better than expected in 2025, but in a loaded National League, they failed to compete for a postseason berth. The Cardinals' odds to win the World Series next year are currently +10000 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

St. Louis Blues (NHL)

As for hockey, the St. Louis Blues made it back to the postseason in 2024-25 after missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs each of the previous two years. They ultimately fell to the Winnipeg Jets in the first round. St. Louis was the eighth and final team in the Western Conference to get into the playoffs, and the Blues are seen as a fringe playoff contender for 2025-26, checking in at +7000 to win the Stanley Cup (as of November 30).

Missouri MLS teams

Missouri also has two MLS squads in Sporting Kansas City and St. Louis City SC, though Sporting Kansas City plays its games in Kansas City, Kansas. Both were among the worst MLS teams in 2025, and neither qualified for the MLS Cup.

Betting on college teams in Missouri

College sports betting is permitted in Missouri, including on in-state teams like the University of Missouri (Mizzou). However, specific regulations on allowed bet types, such as player prop wagers, are still being finalized by the Missouri Gaming Commission.

Missouri Tigers football

Tigers football has made some big strides in recent years under head coach Eli Drinkwitz. After going just 17-19 across Drinkwitz's first three years between 2020 and 2022, Mizzou went 21-5 the last two years, finishing eighth in 2023 and 22nd in 2024 in the AP postseason poll. They were seen as a fringe College Football Playoff team entering 2025.

Missouri Tigers men's basketball

As for Mizzou hoops, the Tigers have made the NCAA Tournament in three of the last five years, and twice in head coach Dennis Gates' three seasons at the helm, including this past season. They're expected to be a Tournament team in 2025-26, but are more of a long shot to win the title (+12000 on DraftKings as of November 30).
