Denver at Kansas City Game Preview
Why Denver Will Win
All of a sudden the team is playing well.
It was a mirage at 3-0, it regressed to reality with a four game losing streak, and now the team appears to have figured out its groove with the defense rising up over the last month and the offense finding just enough timely pop to get by.

The Kansas City offense will be fine, but it’ll be the defense that clamps down with a fifth straight game allowing 17 points or fewer.
