Chiefs @ Broncos betting predictions

Kansas City Chiefs -3.5 at -105.26 with Bovada

The Chiefs have looked anything but dynamic in losing their last two games. Mahomes has been OK, but the run game has not been there and the defense struggled in the last game. The Broncos have won two in a row, mainly on the back of their defense. That D will get a workout in this game, as the Chiefs will bounce back and light up the scoreboard. Kansas City will snap their two-game skid and cover the spread in the Mile High City.
