The Denver Broncos (4-11) head to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 17 to face the Kansas City Chiefs (12-3) on New Year’s Day. Sunday’s kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Broncos vs. Chiefs odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.
The Broncos are going through some turmoil as coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired after the team’s 51-14 loss against the Los Angeles Rams. Denver was favored by 3 points heading into that game. It was the Broncos’ 6th loss in its last 7 games, and it was another poor performance for QB Russell Wilson who threw for 1 TD and 3 INTs. Despite the massive loss, it was actually the first time Denver had failed to cover the spread since Week 12.
The Chiefs are on a 3-game win streak and have won 8 of their last 9. Kansas City is coming off a 24-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks, covering as 10.5-point favorites. It was the first time the Chiefs have covered a spread since Week 7. The Chiefs have only covered the spread 4 times this season — all against NFC teams (Arizona, Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Seattle).
