The Pats elevate to Mile High after narrowly missing a cover in a 27-17 defeat as 9.5-point underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs last week. They failed to move the ball effectively as QB Bailey Zappe was 23-for-31 but just had 180 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. RB Ezekiel Elliott rushed 11 times for 25 yards. New England is 4-10 ATS on the season and 2-4 ATS on the road. Coach Bill Belichick made some waves when it surfaced that he has no plans to resign, despite the team rumored to be moving on from him after the season.
The Broncos were corralled 42-17 by the Detroit Lions last week as 4.5-point underdogs. QB Russell Wilson was 18-for-32 for 223 yards, 1 TD, no INTs but 1 lost fumble. The numbers weren’t as lopsided as the score was, but they just couldn’t move the ball consistently and were 5-for-13 on 3rd down. They have lost 2 of 3 after their 5-game winning streak.
