Chiefs vs Broncos Prediction
The Broncos won fourteen games last season and played into late January, the Chiefs won six, and the bookies have still made the Chiefs favourites. I have the Broncos winning it outright, which makes the 3 they are getting the bet of this fixture.

The Broncos have won the last three meetings with the Chiefs and finished 14-3 last season. The market still has the Chiefs favoured at home, and I think that is a mistake.
The Broncos have won the last three meetings between these two, including one at this ground in December. The Broncos have been talking up the urgency of a divisional opener all week, and the market still looks to be pricing reputation rather than results.
I have the Broncos by one. The bookies had the Chiefs giving 3, so the disagreement is not about the margin, it is about who wins the thing. The Broncos at +3 for $1.83 is the bet, and with the line since trimmed to 2.5 and the total pushed up to 43.5, the 3 is worth grabbing wherever it is still up.
The total leaves me flat. I make it 41 points, and that gap does not come near the bar I set myself in the opening weeks. That is a total to leave well alone.
The Chiefs’ final report is in with a safety and a tackle ruled out, and neither moves my numbers. The Broncos’ game statuses were not up on the league’s report when I wrote this, so I am not calling their side clean yet. The Chiefs turning up a different team from last year’s 6-11 is still the argument against me, and that gets answered this morning.
Chiefs vs Broncos Tip
I have the Broncos winning this by one outright, so getting 3 with them is the bet.
Ben’s Verdict
The Broncos are the better team on everything I can see and they are the ones being given points. Take the 3 and let the market work out later why it had this the wrong way round.
