The last thing the public will remember is watching the Broncos get dismembered, 51-14, by the Rams last week while the Chiefs covered the 10-point impost against the Seahawks in a 24-10 victory. The oddsmakers know this, which is why this spread is so high.
However, we should look at a team based on their season-long body of work, and if we do that then we know two things.
- The Broncos' defense, despite their hellacious effort last week, is among the best as evidenced by their No. 8 ranking in points allowed allowing 20.3 points per game.
- The Chiefs rarely blow anyone out. Their margin of victory this season is 9.5 points per game and in their first meeting with the Broncos three weeks ago the Chiefs won by six points and failed to cover as 8 ½ point road chalk.
Lastly, the Chiefs have defeated the Broncos in their last four meetings but have covered only once in those games
