Prediction
Chiefs 37, Broncos 24
Moneyline (?)
The Broncos (+340) offer a huge payout but the Chiefs (-455) are almost a sure thing. It’s too much chalk to be worth a wager with a $10 bet for the outright win returning a profit of just $2.20. AVOID.
Against the Spread (?)
The Chiefs are 9.5-point favorites at home. They have covered the spread in four of their last five games and five of their last seven. The Broncos have also covered four of their last five. The Chiefs seem to be rolling at the right time and they will frustrate Lock and the Broncos. Take the CHIEFS (-9.5, -110).
Over/Under (?)
The total is set at 45.5 points. Each of the last three games featuring the Chiefs hit the Under, while the Broncos have hit the Over in four of their last five games. Mahomes will find success and Lock will continue to produce. Take the OVER 45.5 (-110).
