On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs square off with the Denver Broncos for the second time this season. On October 12, the two met at Arrowhead Stadium on a Thursday night, and the Chiefs won, 19-8, but the real story was how the Chiefs could not convert on third down and could not get touchdowns when they got into the red zone. The Broncos were stifled by the Chiefs’ defense, which only permitted 197 yards of total offense. Patrick Mahomes threw for 306 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception, with nine of his passes going to tight end Travis Kelce. Since that game, the Chiefs were able to run over the Chargers, 31-17, while the Broncos edged Green Bay, 19-17.

Why should you bet on the Chiefs?

The Kansas City Chiefs started the 2023 regular season with a disappointing home loss to the Detroit Lions, but since then, they have won six in a row, including all three road games. Patrick Mahomes isn’t firing on all cylinders just yet, but he has completed 69.5% of his passes and has a 15:6 TD:INT ratio. SMU product Rashee Rice has combined with Travis Kelce for 830 receiving yards and seven scores. On the ground, Isaiah Pacheco is the top tailback with 419 yards and three scores.

The defense has been stout, allowing just 15 points per game. Drue Tranquill is the top caller with 37, and Chris Jones has posted 5 ½ sacks. When it comes to playing the Broncos, the Chiefs know how to win – they have a 16-game winning streak against their divisional foes. They are also 6-1 against the spread in their last seven Sunday contests.

Why should you put your money on the Broncos?

Denver has dropped seven of their last 10 games in front of their home fans and has not won consecutive games yet this season. Their win over the Packers was impressive, but Jordan Love does not have the offense that Patrick Mahomes does. Russell Wilson is having a better season this time around, with a 13:4 TD:INT ratio and a 66.4% completion rate. Cortland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy have generated five receiving touchdowns, but the ground game could use a leader as their top tailback, Javonte Williams, has just 272 yards.

The Broncos permit 31 points per game, which is the cause for many of their issues. Can they sneak up on the Chiefs? They’ve scored the first touchdown in four of their last five Sunday contests, but the favorites have won 11 straight games in this rivalry – which means the Broncos have been the underdogs against the Chiefs for years now. The Chiefs lead the league in third-down conversion rate at 48.9%, despite their struggles in their first game against the Broncos, while the Broncos are dead last in rushing yards and total yards allowed this season. If you like the Broncos, you see the Chiefs’ offense sputtering again.

Chiefs vs Broncos Final Score and Prediction

The Chiefs seemed to have worked out the kinks on offense when they beat the Chargers by 14 last week, but Brandon Staley is also getting shade from all over the league for his poor defense – and he’s supposedly a defensive guru. The Broncos’ defense hasn’t really worked against anyone but the Chiefs so far this season, and the Chiefs couldn’t get out of their own way in that game. I predict a final score of Kansas City 30, Denver 20.
