Chiefs vs Broncos predictions
When considering the Kansas City Chiefs, one thing is clear: they've had quite the season with a 15-1 record. Despite planning to roll out a bunch of backups against the Broncos, there's still potential for some impressive performances. Take Carson Wentz, for example. Even with limited action this season, he’s projected to give a solid contribution with around 170 passing yards and a touchdown or two. Then there’s Carson Steele, who could step up on the ground with an expected 50 rushing yards. Throw in some receptions from veterans like DeAndre Hopkins, who might snag a couple of crucial catches, and the Chiefs’ second-stringers still pose a formidable threat. Can the Broncos capitalize on this opportunity, though?
On the flip side, the Denver Broncos are grinding hard to break their playoff drought. Bo Nix plays a pivotal role here, looking to rack up over 220 passing yards and a couple of touchdowns. The real question is whether Courtland Sutton can turn those targets into big yardage. With an average prediction of over 70 receiving yards, he could be the game-changer the Broncos need. The running game brings potential as well, with Jaleel McLaughlin looking to add a few solid yards on the ground and extend drives. If they can keep the pressure and play a clean game, they just might turn the tide in their favor.
Looking at both teams, this matchup at Empower Field at Mile High seems poised for an intriguing nail-biter. Even with the Chiefs resting many of their starters, their depth is nothing to underestimate. However, the Broncos’ determination to end their playoff drought could very well tip the scales. If they can execute offensively and hold tight defensively, Denver might just steal the spotlight and take the win. With the odds slightly in their favor and playing on home turf, the Broncos seem poised to edge this one out. What do you think—can they finally break their playoff curse?
