Why the Chiefs can cover

Kansas City trots out the second-ranked total offense in the NFL. The Chiefs average 402.4 total yards and 25.5 points per game. This unit has gone over 400 total yards in five games this season, including three straight from Weeks 2 to 4. Kansas City’s best outing came against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10, when they finished with 516 total yards of offense. 

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes went 35-of-50 for 406 yards with five passing touchdowns that week. The Texas Tech product had a sensational 38-yard touchdown pass to running back Darrel Williams. On 3rd and 11, Mahomes bought time in the pocket before uncorking a bomb to Williams, who outmuscled Raiders safety Jonathan Abram for the score. Kansas City’s offense is always a threat to score plenty of points, and the Chiefs have won 11 straight games against the Broncos.

Why the Broncos can cover 

Denver has one of the top defenses in the NFL. The Broncos are ranked ninth in total defense (330.8) and third in points per game (17.8). This group has allowed fewer than 20 points in seven games this season. Safety Justin Simmons is second on the team with 56 total tackles. The Boston College product is sixth in the NFL in pass deflections (11) and seventh in interceptions (four). 

Rookie cornerback Patrick Surtain II has played lights-out football. Surtain II is fourth on the squad in tackles with 37 and second on the team with three interceptions. Last week against the Los Angeles Chargers, Surtain II finished with five total tackles, two interceptions, and two pass deflections. The sticky-handed cornerback picked off Justin Herbert and returned it 70 yards for a touchdown.
