Two terrific defenses clash, and one team is without its star quarterback. Denver's defense ranks fourth in the NFL in yards allowed, second against the run, No. 1 on third down (33.5%), and fifth in points allowed (19.7 per game). The Broncos beat the Chiefs and QB Patrick Maholmes last month, 22-19, in a game that sailed UNDER. Kansas City is now without Maholmes and comes into this contest off a 26-9 loss to Tennessee. They had just 133 total yards using QBs Chris Oladokun and Gardner Minshew. Backup Minshew was knocked out of the game with a knee injury. The defense is 10th in yards allowed, ninth against the run, and fourth in points given up (19.6 per game). The Chiefs are on an 11-3 run UNDER the total. Take Denver/Kansas City UNDER the total.

Kansas City at Denver
4:25 PM Eastern
Both the Chiefs and Broncos have better ratings on defense than they do on offense. Kansas City is fourth in scoring defense (17.7 points per game) and sixth in total defense (291.8 yards per game). Denver gives up the third-fewest yards (270.7 per game) and third-fewest points per game (17.3). The Broncos have allowed a league-low eight passing TDs, and Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 300-plus yards in just one of nine starts this season. Bo Nix and Denver's offense have come under a lot of scrutiny after managing only 10 points against a tired Raiders defense playing on a short week last Thursday. Nix seems skittish in the pocket. He shows signs of regression from his rookie season. Kansas City's defense concedes a league-low 1,019 yards to wide receivers, and Nix is likely to be without his best running back, J.K. Dobbins. He sustained a foot injury against the Raiders. The last four meetings in this series have all gone UNDER. That is the way to go here. Take the UNDER.
