Broncos vs Chiefs: Week 12 betting

The Denver Broncos have won five straight games and the Kansas City Chiefs have lost seven straight games, and both trends could continue when the Broncos meet the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday.

However bettors need to be aware of this tricky trend when Denver is a huge favorite. In the past 10 games where the Broncos were favored by 8+ points, they are 0-10 ATS.

And the last time they were a double-digit road favorite, it was here in Kansas City a few years back and they lost out right to KC.

Denver is 4-1 ATS over its 5-0 SU run while Kansas City is 2-5 ATS over its 0-7 SU run.

Each of the last three games between these two division rivals have gone UNDER the posted total. Kansas City is 2-3 SU and 1-4 ATS in its last five home games against the Broncos and 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS in its last six home games overall.
