This is a game that seems like a formality, but maybe it is not so much. Broncos vs Chiefs in Week 17 pits the already AFC West champion against a Denver team that is no longer fighting for anything, and that has had a pretty bad campaign.

Betting on the Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos are going through some changes. Nathaniel Hackett and two other coaches have just been fired, so there is no clear direction for a team that is stumbling all over the place. Even the owner has come out to apologize for this year’s embarrassment.
Russell Wilson was brought in, but it hasn’t worked out, and now, the main concern is whether the new coach they will be bringing in will be able to work with the quarterback. They must think long and hard about whether it is right for him to stay. The problems will continue in Denver no matter what.
Since their bye week, they have only attained one win and have suffered six losses. Also, they have been performing pretty badly as visitors, winning only one game in that condition, that was possible because they defeated Jacksonville in London in what was then a neutral venue, but if they have to go to a tough stadium they fall in an awful way.
Betting on the Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are a great team. They have already secured the AFC West,and they are going for the full conference along Patrick Mahomes, who wants another Super Bowl ring and who is also in good shape, so it wouldn’t be foolish to think he can get it.
This season he has completed 66.9% of all his pass attempts and already has 37 touchdowns, leading the NFL in that area. At home he is lit and he has scored 16 touchdowns and completed 190 passes, which is more bad news for Denver.
The Chiefs have only lost one game at home, and that was to Buffalo. They fell 44-23, but the Bills are an equal or even better team than the Chiefs. That game could have been a preview of the AFC championship, and we doubt Denver will put up the same fight.
JefeBet Prediction
The Chiefs are going to win, and that’s how they get into rhythm for the playoffs, because that’s where the strongest rivals like the Bills will be waiting for them, as long as they don’t surprisingly fall.
For its part, Denver has a lot of work to do. With no coach and doubts about Russell Wilson, things are not going well in the Broncos’ side, a team which needs to be strengthened.
Prediction: Denver 10- 24 Chiefs
