The wunderkinds of the Canadien Crew of OffshoreInsiders have a week 17 NFL winner.

Kansas City Chiefs (2-13, 5-10 ATS) vs Denver Broncos (12-3, 10-5 ATS)

Odds: Denver -16, 42 o/u

When it comes to big-time NFL rivalries, the story of the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs is seriously under appreciated. That’s why betting public is driving a sky high line the final regular season game for the red hot Denver Broncos. But what are they missing?

For starters, Kansas City is the only team to hold the Broncos to less than 20 points all season. That happened back in week 11, well after Denver began their spectacular 10-game winning streak. The Chiefs were playing their best that day and quick look at the box score makes you wonder where that iteration of the Chiefs was all season.

There’s no question that the Broncos will taking the KC seriously, even if the betting public is not. In a year that’s been marred by tragedy and incompetence, today is a chance for the Chiefs to end their season on a high note in a stadium that’s going to be anything but friendly.

If KC has any chance at all of coming out of Mile High with a win, it’s going to be because of running back Jamal Charles. The last time these teams met up the dominant Denver defense held him to just 107 yards and he can expect to have their full attention again today.

Denver’s rise to prominence is one of the biggest stories in the NFL these days and there’s no question that they’re a fan favorite. Under the steady handed leadership of John Fox and Peyton Manning, every aspect of their game has steadily improved all season. They’re playing for a bye week in the playoffs and we expect a big game from everyone involved.

We don’t doubt that the Broncos are going to come out on top, but 16 points is a bit on the high side. KC has a chance at ruining Denver’s shot at a little rest and that should keep this game pretty close.

The Pick: Kansas City +16.5
