Much like the previous matchup, this is a tough sell to actually see happen. But for Baltimore to clinch a top-2 or No. 1 seed this week, it’s what needs to happen. So, just like Cincinnati, we’re left rooting for Denver today.

The Chiefs have shown some holes since beating the Ravens in Week 3 but still remain plenty dangerous. However, after beating the New England Patriots last week, they could be in for a bit of a letdown against the Broncos this week.

It’s worth noting Denver is surging behind new quarterback Drew Lock. They’re fresh off beating the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans in back-to-back weeks and could be hitting at the right time to take down a capable foe.
