American Football
BOYLE Sports Team · Betting Experts

The Kansas City Chiefs surrendered their perfect record last weekend but we’re backing the Super Bowl contenders to quickly return to winning ways when visiting the Denver Broncos. Outstanding Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III was bottled up by former club the Seattle Seahawks but should be able to resume normal service against a Broncos defence ranked as low as 28th in the NFL against the rush .

Denver Broncos vs Kansas City Chiefs Prediction - NFL 2026-27

With Kansas City having already crushed their AFC West rivals 31-10 at home this term, 5/6 for them to do the double on the road is our initial Broncos vs Chiefs prediction from the straight match betting market.

Form Guides

Denver Broncos Form Guide

The Broncos are unbeaten at Mile High this term, seeing off the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Los Angeles Rams before shading Seattle 17-14 in overtime. Last Sunday’s comfortable 30-16 triumph away to the Arizona Cardinals improved their record to 5-2, with the only other reversal being a forgivable 24-14 road loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Denver are solid at the back on defence, which always makes them hard to beat, but the jury is still out on whether quarterback Bo Nix can hold up his side of the bargain.

The 26-year-old reminded everyone about his scrambling ability when running in a 62-yard touchdown against the Cardinals but his passing accuracy has been off this term, especially when attempting to go deep. With top target Jaylen Waddle hampered by injury, we like 20/23 for Nix to be kept under 201.5 passing yards for the fifth time this term from the Broncos vs Chiefs odds.

Patrick Mahomes is also having a mixed campaign and has thrown an interception in four of his six appearances . More is needed from wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice, who has been troubled by injury, with tight ends Travis Kelce and Noah Gray forced to carry too much responsibility.

However, alongside a dependable defence, the big bonus this season has been the form of explosive running back Walker since arriving from Seattle. He averaged 133 yards per game and scored six touchdowns in his first five outings before being stifled by his old team-mates and has every chance of getting back on track in this match-up.

Walker ran for 173 yards and a TD from 23 carries against Denver in Week 1 and it will be a surprise if Kansas City don’t look for him to lead the way here. Let’s finish off our Broncos vs Chiefs betting tips by taking 10/11 for Walker to have over 18.5 rushing attempts for the fifth time this term.
