At Least They'll Have Quarterbacks

I give the Broncos a lot of credit for playing last week and not forfeiting. Every quarterback on the Broncos roster was held out of last Sunday's game due to COVID-19 protocol against the Saints.

This made a bad team even worse. The Broncos were unable to score a touchdown, but they competed all afternoon.

The Saints gave the Broncos their seventh loss of the season by a score of 31-3. It's hard to assess the Broncos' offense last week without a quarterback.

The defense didn't play bad, but Kendall Hinton threw two picks, which were two of the three Broncos turnovers. This put the defense in a very difficult predicament multiple times on Sunday.

The Next GOAT?

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs took down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. Mahomes is now tied with Tom Brady in head-to-head victories.

Mahomes was phenomenal, throwing for 462 yards and two touchdowns on the afternoon. This resulted in a three-point victory over the Buccaneers.

The Chiefs' defense was able to force Brady into two mistakes that ultimately cost the Buccaneers the game. The Chiefs will be tough to beat as we move down the stretch of the 2020 NFL season.

The Picks

It's no secret that the Chiefs are much better than the Broncos. I would've hated to see this game if the Broncos didn't have a quarterback.

It would've been much uglier than the beatdown that the Saints laid down on the Broncos last week.

Kansas City has lost its last three games against the spread. It's hard to consistently win by two scores in the NFL, so this doesn't scare me at all.

The Chiefs are 6-5 ATS on the season, so they win more than they lose. They would've covered -14 against the Broncos earlier in the season. They beat Denver 43-16 at the end of October.

Denver hasn't been a favorite once this year and has gone 6-5 ATS. The Broncos have lost by 14 or more points in four of their seven losses this season.

The Chiefs are a really good team. Mahomes is averaging 320 yards passing per game, and they also have the ability to run the ball.

The Broncos don't have the defense to slow down Kansas City's explosiveness. This will result in a lot of points for the Chiefs.

I'm taking the Chiefs at -14 and over 51 points.
