Kansas City at Denver Game Overview
Kansas City has lit things up in its first three games with road victories against the Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers as an underdog followed by last Sunday’s 38-27 win against San Francisco as a six-point favorite in its home opener. The Chiefs have scored at least 38 points in all three wins, and the total has gone OVER in all three games.
The biggest story behind this impressive 3-0 start both straight-up and against the spread has been the stellar play of second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He has thrown for 896 yards and 13 touchdowns against zero interceptions in his first three games while completing 66.7 percent of his 93 passing attempts. His top target has been tight end Travis Kelce with 16 receptions and wide receiver Tyreek Hill leads the team in receiving yards with 310.
The Broncos opened their season with SU wins at home against Seattle and Oakland ahead of last week’s 27-14 road loss to Baltimore. They failed to cover in two of those games with the 27-24 victory against the Seahawks ending as a PUSH. The total has stayed UNDER in Denver’s last two games. The Broncos return home for Monday night’s game with a 1-5-1 record ATS in their previous seven games at Mile High.
Case Keenum took over the starting role at quarterback coming over from Minnesota in the offseason. He has completed 66 of his first 108 passing attempts for 743 yards and three touchdowns, but he has already tossed five interceptions. Emmanuel Sanders is Denver’s leading receiver with 19 catches for 269 yards and one score. The Broncos have done a great job of moving the ball downfield on the ground with an average of 144.7 rushing yards per game.
