Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos Prediction 

Denver comes into this matchup after getting blown out in the second half by the Ravens last week, and it won’t get any easier against an undefeated Kansas City team. The Chiefs have won all eight of their games so far this season, but each of their last two wins came by just one possession. Denver’s defense has been one of the top units in the NFL this year, but they allowed 41 points to Baltimore last week. The Chiefs also have a very good defense through eight games but did allow 24 to the Bucs last time out. I think both defenses will bounce back in this matchup and I like the under here.
