Chiefs vs. Broncos Prediction, Betting Picks, Latest Odds for Week 18

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos will meet from the Mile High Stadium today in Denver.

KC comes into the game with a record of 15-1, the best record in the NFL. The Chiefs are looking to make NFL history this season, as Andy Reid and company can win their third consecutive Super Bowl.

The strong season has earned the Chiefs a first-round playoff bye and the No. 1 seed. Today, the Chiefs will be sitting at all of their starters. Kansas City has an opportunity to play spoiler with a win this afternoon, but will have to do it as a rare double-digit underdog with their backups in.

Chiefs vs. Broncos Prediction

Former Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Wentz will get the start today. Wentz was once one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL but never recovered from a season-ending injury years ago. The veteran has thrown for just 20 yards this season.

Rookie Carson Steele is expected to get most of the carries today. Steele has rushed for 158 yards this season. Xavier Worthy will be the top receiving option today. Worthy has racked up 638 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

The Broncos have an opportunity to punch their playoff ticket today. Denver has posted a record of 9-7. After a Bengals win last night, all the pressure is on Denver to deliver today.

This Broncos franchise has not reached the playoffs since 2015. The last time Denver reached the playoffs, they won the Super Bowl. Head coach Sean Payton has done an outstanding job with this group this season, and will try to get one more critical win out of them today.

Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has thrown for 3,454 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Javonte Williams has rushed for 485 yards and four touchdowns. Courtland Sutton has racked up 983 yards and seven touchdowns. The Broncos rank 5th in points allowed per game (19.4).

I love the value we are getting on KC today.

The Chiefs are playing this game with nothing to lose.

Denver will find a way to win this game, but they will play tight throughout it, with all the pressure on them.

I anticipate a close back-and-forth contest that favors the underdog.

Let’s stay hot today!
