Moneyline
One day Denver will snap its losing streak against Kansas City, but Sunday won’t be that day. The Broncos have by far the worst offense in the league and lost their top receiver in Sutton. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are coming off a disappointing loss which means they will be looking to take their frustrations out on their division rival.
The bet is obviously the Chiefs, but avoid the moneyline as the payout is not worth the risk.
