Preview
First place in the AFC West is on the line at Empower Field at Mile High at 4:25 p.m. ET. Kansas City is 5-1 and Denver is 5-2 and 3-0 at home, per ESPN. The Chiefs have won four straight, including a 33-30 overtime win over Indianapolis last time out. Denver has won four of its last five, most recently 30-26 over the Rams.
Key factors
Kansas City's lone loss in its last five was a 20-3 game at Seattle, and its four wins came by an average of about 9 points. Denver's only loss in that span was 24-14 at San Francisco. Patrick Mahomes has 1,474 passing yards, 9 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, and Kenneth Walker III has 701 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns, per ESPN. Bo Nix has 1,271 yards, 7 touchdowns and 3 interceptions for Denver. ESPN's injury report lists Kansas City without cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder) and Omarr Norman-Lott (knee), with L'Jarius Sneed, Brashard Smith and Josh Simmons on IR. Denver lists safety Talanoa Hufanga out, receiver Jaylen Waddle and sack leader Zach Allen questionable, and RJ Harvey on IR. DraftKings via ESPN had KC -1.5 and a 41.5 total at last check, and ESPN's matchup predictor gives Kansas City 55.7%.
The pick
Our morning card took Denver on the moneyline at -105, and the line has since moved to Kansas City by 1.5. That's basically a coin flip with home field on Denver's side and a thin Chiefs secondary. The risk is Mahomes, who has won four straight, and Denver's own questionable list, especially Waddle and Allen. Check the inactives before kickoff. A lean, not a lock.

How to read a pick
The bold line is the bet in plain words. The ticket line under it is the number from the source, when the source had one.
- Spread
- The points a team gets or gives. "Eagles win by 4+" is the same idea as PHI -3.5: that team has to win by 4 or more. A plus number means the team can lose by fewer than that, or win.
- Moneyline
- Who wins the game. No point spread. The price, like BOS -155, only says how short or long that win was on the snapshot.
- Over/under
- The total. Add both sides together. Over 2.5 goals means 3 or more. Under 2.5 means 2 or fewer.
- Parlay
- Two or more bets tied together. Every part has to hit, or the whole ticket loses. This board does not build a parlay for you.
- Lean, Like, Love
- Lean is a small edge. Like is a clearer read. Love is the strongest call on the board. No pick means we are not calling a side.
