Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) - 4:25 PM EST
Premium Pick: Total: 49.0/-110 Over
Denver and Kansas City just met two weeks ago with the Broncos winning 27-17 at home. The
setup going into that game was much different than it is for the rematch on Sunday. Denver was
8-1 while coming off a road win at San Diego while Kansas City was undefeated at 9-0 and
entered that game off their bye. The Broncos now come into this game off a tough loss at New
England after they blew a 24-0 halftime lead. The Chiefs come in off back-to-back losses with
multiple injuries on their defense. The first meeting had 44 total points scored with a full strength
Kansas City defense on the field. The Broncos scored 27 of those 44 total points with Peyton
Manning throwing for 323 yards. Denver will be fully focused off a loss, especially their offense;
they scored just 7 points in the second half against the Patriots. Denver is 3-1 to the Over when
coming off loss with Manning at quarterback. The Broncos have scored 25 points or more in all
four of those games while averaging 35.5 points per game. All four games had 43 combined points
or more scored with an average of 56 combined points scored per game. Kansas City’s defense is
a mess right now. That was evident in last week’s 41-38 loss to San Diego. The Chiefs have
numerous injuries, and it’s unlikely they’ll keep the Broncos under 30 points in this game. Kansas
City’s offense has played much better in recent weeks with QB Alex Smith leading the team on six
scoring drives alone last week. Smith has also thrown 7 touchdown passes to just 1 interception
in his last four games. Denver’s defense is still much maligned as they are giving up 26.3 points
per game to offenses that only average 22.5 points per game. The Broncos have given up 20
points or more in all five of their road games, including 34 points or more in three of those five
games. We expect both offenses to be highly efficient making this a high-scoring game between
the Broncos and Chiefs on Sunday afternoon.
