The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos faced off just three weeks ago, when the Broncos handed the Chiefs their first loss of the season. This time around, both teams are coming off of a loss and the win will be more important than ever as they look for the lead in the AFC West.

Last time Kansas City and Denver faced off, the Chiefs were unable to get any pass rush going and Peyton Manning was able to pick them apart.

However, this time around the Chiefs will be playing in front of the rowdy Arrowhead crowd which could allow them to get after Manning more consistently, despite the loss of Justin Houston and potentially Tamba Hali.

Denver is also banged up, with starting running back Knowshon Moreno potentially out, so they can pin their ears back and focus on putting Manning on his back.

Not only will the Chiefs ensure that the Broncos do not cover the spread, but I truly believe they will be winning outright.
