Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs Prediction
This will be no easy task for a struggling Denver team that has lost four of their first five games to open the season.
A lot of people want to point the finger at Russell Wilson for the team's early struggles, but if you break down the numbers, Wilson has actually played pretty well.
The real issue for Denver has been their defense, which ranks dead last in football, allowing opponents 36.2 points per game.
This includes a game where they allowed 70 points to the Miami Dolphins.
Denver has been open in trade discussions for essentially any play not named Patrick Surtain.
Kansas City is off to a 4-1 start and appears to be on their way to another AFC West title.
Patrick Mahomes has played well but not up to his expectations. That is a scary thought for the league, as despite a somewhat sluggish start for Mahomes, this team remains 4-1.
The reason that Kansas City has been so successful is their defense. The Chiefs have allowed just 16.0 points per game, which ranks fifth in the NFL.
The wide receivers are not as dominant as we have seen in previous Chiefs offenses, but Travis Kelce is still a part of this roster, making them an elite offense.
Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs Player Prop Pick
Jerry Jeudy is the team's top option, and in a negative game script, he will see plenty of action tonight.
In the four games that he has played, he has played in 74% of the team's offensive snaps.
This number would be even higher if they did not get blown out against the Dolphins in a game where the starters barely played in the second half. Last week, in a close game, Jeudy played in 86% of offensive snaps.
Kansas City has allowed just north of 200 passing yards per game, which ranks 13th in football. The defense has been much better against the run.
Pick: Jerry Jeudy over 53.5 rec yards -120 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
