Who's Playing
Denver @ Kansas City
Current Records: Denver 5-8; Kansas City 9-4
What to Know
After a few days' rest for both teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos will meet up at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. Coming off of a win even when the odds were against them, Kansas City has to be feeling especially confident now that the spread is in their favor.
The Chiefs were able to grind out a solid victory over the New England Patriots last week, winning 23-16. The team accrued the bulk of their points in the first half (20) and coasted on those for the win.
Last week, Denver had a touchdown and change to spare in a 38-24 victory over the Houston Texans. Denver QB Drew Lock was slinging it as he passed for three TDs and 309 passing yards on 27 attempts. Lock ended up with a passer rating of 136.
Their wins bumped the Chiefs to 9-4 and Denver to 5-8. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Kansas City is stumbling into the game with the fifth most rushing yards allowed per game in the NFL, having given up 137.7 on average. To make matters even worse for Kansas City, Denver rank second in the league when it comes to touchdowns allowed, with only 24 on the season. Maybe that strength will give the Broncos the oomph they need to beat the odds.
