Broncos at Chiefs Prediction
The top sportsbooks in the country are listing the Chiefs as a full possession favorite at home, and that seems to be right after opening as 10-point favorites and being bet down.
The Broncos are already ruling running back Melvin Gordon III out (hip), so they will struggle to find a run game here. Kansas City’s defense has stepped up the last handful of weeks as well. The Broncos are 2-9 against the spread in their last 11 games against the Chiefs so go with Kansas City to cover.
