Broncos Chiefs Prediction, Denver Covers

Kansas City has won 15 straight vs Denver and are double-digit favorites in the Week 6 Thursday Nighter where the total has been steadily shrinking.

The total opened over 50 and was 47.5 Wednesday morning at Draft Kings Sportsbook. The Broncos have been a disaster and Travis Kelce may or may not play which accounts for the dwindling number.

Denver has been a good dog bet when catching double digits, covering the last four times they were +10 or more. But their play within the AFC West 4-17 SU over the past five seasons doesn’t give a lot of confidence that can spring an upset here.

Why the Broncos can cover the spread

Denver gets 10.5 points and probably more if Kelce is cleared. And on a short week, its more a question of fatigue and attrition than strategy and talent that usually decides spread winners on Thursday.

Why the Chiefs can cover the spread

KC’s defense has carried the team so far and its not hard to imagine a smackdown here to the tune of 35-10. The Chiefs can score, the Broncos offense has been terrible.

Kelce is questionable, watch for his status as this spread will climb if he’s cleared. After winning 15 straight against a team that has lost 12 of 14 road games, the victory does not seem to be question – its just a question of that 10.5-point spread.

Broncos Chiefs Prediction

A short week, a banged-up star Tight End, and a meaty spread. This could be a blowout but we think KC will be careful with Mr. Swift and Denver could hang within 10 points here.
