The Chiefs opened as a -9.5 favorite against division rivals the Broncos. Gambling911.com had a line of -9.
Denver had lost five of their last seven coming into a Week 12 showdown against the Chargers. They were sitting at the .500 mark.
The 7-4 Chiefs finally got their act together, winning four straight. Their last win was an impressive one against the Dallas Cowboys. They will be coming into their game against Denver off a bye.
"I'm excited about it because we're still not playing our best football," quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. "We're sitting here at 7-4 and at least a half-game up on the AFC West. Everything is right in front of us. [From] where we started to where we are now and still not playing our best football, I'll take that every time.
"We're going to get better and better each and every week. We lost some games close early that we probably should have won if we had found ways to finish and then we took some big lumps and had some big losses that we don't usually have here. We kind of went back to the drawing board, went back to the fundamentals and ... we're sitting here now with everything in front of us."
