  • It’s been an ugly stretch of games for the Denver Broncos as they’ve lost three of their last four, both straight up and ATS. As a result, a loss to the Chiefs on Sunday would dramatically decrease Denver’s odds of making the playoffs. Kansas City would love nothing more than to ruin Christmas for the Broncos players, and by association the players’ families, but the Chiefs have dropped five consecutive home games to Denver and have covered in just one of their last seven home games vs Denver.

    Shark Bites
    • The Broncos are 1-5 ATS in their last six games against their division.
    • The Chiefs are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games at night.
    • The Broncos have scored just 16 points in their last two games.

    The Chiefs are coming off an ugly home loss to the Titans in which they blew a 14-point lead, but they’ve been an excellent bounce-back team as they haven’t lost back-to-back games in over a year and are 3-0 ATS after an outright loss this season.

    The game opened with a total of 37.5 points and if that number stays intact, it would be the lowest total of the season. The UNDER has hit in eight of Kansas City’s last 10 games and in four of Denver’s last five, but in their matchups against each other, they’ve topped that number in eight straight games.
