The Kansas City Chiefs officially clinched the No. 1 seed for the AFC playoffs after their Week 18 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and are now set to face the Denver Broncos in a highly anticipated regular-season finale at Mile High Stadium.
With a first-round bye and home-field advantage secured for the playoffs, the Chiefs are expected to rest their starters to avoid potential injuries ahead of the postseason.
The Broncos can clinch the seventh and final seed in the AFC playoff picture with a win over Kansas City on Sunday and will have the benefit of playing against backup quarterback Carson Wentz in front of a home crowd with their season on the line.
Wentz is a seasoned veteran with a Super Bowl win under his belt, but without some of Kansas City’s best players on the field, Denver may be able to pull out a win against the defending Super Bowl champions to punch their ticket to the playoffs.
Here’s how to watch the Chiefs’ Week 18 matchup with the Broncos, including time, TV schedule, and streaming information:

Chiefs vs Broncos predictions, picks
Chiefs 23, Broncos 31: The Chiefs’ Week 18 matchup against the Broncos is largely meaningless for the defending Super Bowl champions and will be treated more like a preseason game than a regular-season finale.
With a trip to the playoffs on the line, Denver is sure to pull out all the stops for a chance to take down their bitter AFC West rivals. Kansas City will certainly put up a fight, but with so many starters on the bench, the Broncos shouldn’t face much of a challenge.
