DENVER BRONCOS +12 (-109) at Kansas City Chiefs – 1 p.m. (CBS)
The Broncos will get new life with a coaching change, which almost always brings extra focus in their 1st game.
The Broncos lost to the Chiefs by only 6 points earlier this season and 3 of the last 4 games between the 2 teams have been decided by single digits.
The Chiefs covered the spread at home for the 1st time last week against the Seahawks.

CLEVELAND BROWNS (+110) at Washington Commanders – 1 p.m. (FOX)
The Commanders are returning to QB Carson Wentz as the team has not won a game in the last month. The Commanders are 2-4 when he starts.
The Browns have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are only allowing opponents to score only 14.8 points per game in their last 5 contests.
The Commanders have not covered the spread in the last 3 weeks.

Dallas Cowboys at TENNESSEE TITANS +12.5 (-110) – Thursday 8:15 p.m. (Prime Video)
The Cowboys are a tough team to trust. It took overtime to beat the Eagles last week with backup QB Gardner Minshew playing. They have 5 wins of more than 12 points, but only 1 in the last 5 weeks.
The Titans have lost 5 games in a row and 2 have been by at least 14 points.
The Cowboys are 3-3 ATS on the road and the Titans are 3-4 ATS at home.
It’s just too many point to lay for the Cowboys.
