The Denver Broncos (2-3) will host the Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) in an AFC West matchup Sunday afternoon at 4:25 p.m. E.T.

To prepare you for that game, here are five Broncos team and player prop bets to consider for Week 7.
5 Denver Broncos prop bet predictions for Week 7
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Broncos QB Drew Lock OVER 216.5 passing yards (-115)
Lock has now started eight games for the Broncos, but he’s only ever had one game above 216 passing yards. However, he played well in Week 6 and should have easily exceeded 220 yards if not for several drops from his pass-catchers.
Broncos QB Drew Lock OVER 1.5 passing touchdowns (+150)
If the Broncos are going to stay competitive in this game, they will need Lock to throw multiple touchdowns. He’s going to need to create big plays in the passing game and be efficient in the red zone. At +150, Lock is a good bet to throw multiple touchdowns this week against a Kansas City defense that will allow points through the air.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon OVER 11.5 rushing attempts (-134)
Gordon is back and should return to his spot in the starting lineup. Through four games this season, he is averaging 16.3 carries per game, but there is a slight concern the game script could force the Broncos into passing situations. Look for the Broncos to get Gordon involved early and for him to reach 15 or 16 carries in this contest.
Broncos WR Tim Patrick OVER 42.5 receiving yards (-115)
In Week 6, the New England Patriots had a ton of trouble slowing down Patrick. He is the one receiver Lock had a strong connection with in that game. Now that is he is locked into the No. 2 wide receiver role, he should see eight to nine targets in this game and should hit the over of 42.5 receiving yards. Don’t be surprised if he has multiple receptions of 20-plus yards, either, as he has developed into the team’s best deep threat.
Broncos WR Tim Patrick anytime TD scorer (+300)
Speaking of Patrick, he’s not a bad bet to score a touchdown in this game, either. At 3-1 odds, Patrick has the size and ball skills to win in the end zone. Look for Lock to target him in the red zone and for Patrick to get a few end zone targets.
