As the Kansas City Chiefs line up for this game against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium, there is an opportunity for this team that was embarrassed last week as they handed the previously-winless Oakland Raiders their only victory of the season to pull even in the AFC West. That may not have been a thought in this team’s mind after the second game of the season, when Kansas City went to Sports Authority Field and lost a 24-17 decision. However, the Chiefs posted seven victories in their next eight games, until that relatively flat effort in Oakland, where they were able to convert only twice on third down the entire game.
BetAnySports Top USA Offshore Sportsbook customers are aware that the task for the Kansas City defense is not enviable. One of the things that the Chiefs like to do is get some pressure on the opposing passer, and outside linebacker Justin Houston is the NFL’s statistical leader with 13 sacks. But Peyton Manning has had a history of neutralizing the opposition’s pass rush, with this year no exception, as he has gone down by enemy hands only 12 times. If Denver can run the ball, it will go a long way toward keeping the Kansas City defense honest, and so NFL bettors will have to evaluate whether CJ Anderson can once again be a factor, as he was last week against the Miami Dolphins, when he gained 167 yards.
Manning has a pair of wide receivers who have both topped the 1000-yard plateau. Of course, we are talking about Demariyus Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, but the leading touchdown producer for this team is tight end Julius Thomas, and a decision on his availability probably won’t be made until right before kickoff, because he has an ankle injury that has kept him out of practice. One player Peyton won’t have to deal with as he throws the ball down the field is Eric Berry, the Pro Bowl safety for the Chiefs who unfortunately may have lymphoma and has been declared out for the rest of the season by team doctors.
BetAnySports patrons have noticed that the Broncos are playing some musical chairs with their kicking game. Seeking some consistency in that area, they have just signed Connor Barth, who was formerly with the Chiefs. In a game with this kind of pointspread, who knows – it may just come down to the placekicker.
Both defenses have done a good job this season, holding the opposition under 37% in third-down efficiency. Those football bettors who lean toward Denver like to think that it is Manning’s productivity that will spell the difference here, especially when juxtaposed with Alex Smith, a fellow former #1 overall draft pick who has only thrown for 13 touchdowns, NONE of them to a Kansas City wide receiver. If the Broncos’ defense plays this one tight, and forces Smith to go a little farther down the field, one of the key people might be Anthony Avant, who was just picked up on waivers by his former coach in Philadelphia, Andy Reid. Otherwise, expect the Chiefs to try to get something going offensively with the ground attack, where Jamaal Charles has hit his stride, with 772 yards.
