Denver Broncos 24 · Kansas City Chiefs 19
Why this lean
Two reasons the projection lands on Denver Broncos: Denver Broncos’s scoring margin profile and Denver Broncos’s recent stretch. Special-teams field-position swings are the hidden risk in a tight read.
Three things to watch
- Form gap. Denver Broncos is carrying the cleaner recent sample than Kansas City Chiefs. Streaky teams can carry one more game than the standings imply.
- Net efficiency. Denver Broncos has the cleaner scoring profile; Kansas City Chiefs needs the game state to get messier.
- Scoring margin. Denver Broncos at +5.4 per game vs. Kansas City Chiefs at +2.1 — a 3.2-point gap on the season.
