Public Money on the Chiefs
Looking at the NFL public betting splits on this game, there’s a lot of love going Kansas City’s way. The Chiefs are pulling in 81% of spread handle and 99% of moneyline bets.
Four of the past five Denver at Kansas City games have gone under. The Broncos are 4-0 ATS in the last four games in which they took the field as double-digit underdogs. But they’re 4-1 ATS in the last five games against Kansas City.
The Chiefs are 12-1 SU in their last 13 games and 8-1 SU in the club’s last nine home games. Kansas City is 1-6 ATS in the past seven games against AFC West opposition.
Kansas City is the second betting choice in the odds to win Super Bowl at +550. Denver is given a betting line of +20000 in this market.
Broncos Looking to Bust Slump
The last time the Broncos beat the Chiefs, Peyton Manning was Denver’s QB1. Patrick Mahomes was a sophomore at Texas Tech. Not a single player or coach remains with the Broncos from the team that downed the Chiefs 31-24 on September 17, 2015.
Week 6 prep. 💪

During the ensuing 15-game win streak by Kansas City, the average margin of victory has been 11 points. However, eight of the 15 outcomes were decided by one score.
Denver is drawing nearer to the longest losing streak to one team in NFL history. During the 1970s, Buffalo lost 20 games in a row to Miami.
Chiefs Hardly Dominant
Yes Kansas City is 4-1 on the season. However, it would be a misnomer to suggest that the Chiefs are resembling a juggernaut. Although KC has won four in a row, three of those verdicts were one-score decisions over teams with a combined 6-9 SU record (Jets, Vikings, Jaguars).

The Chiefs lost the season opener at home to Detroit minus injured All-Pro TE Travis Kelce. Taylor Swift’s main squeeze suffered a sprained ankle last week vs the Vikings, but is expected to play against Denver.
Broncos vs Chiefs Prediction
As 10.5-point underdogs, it’s just the fourth time in his career as an NFL head coach that Broncos coach Sean Payton finds his team as a double-digit underdog.
Kansas City still looks to be figuring out what the identity of this team is going to be. The Chiefs will beat Denver again, but they won’t win going away.
