Result: Loss
#345 ASA PLAY ON Kansas City Chiefs +11.5 over Denver Broncos, Sunday at 4:25 PM ET - Of course we know KC will sit some guys here but this line has moved WAY too much in our opinion based on that. This number is double digits off from what it would be had KC not clinched and was playing their starters. They will still play some starters as they can’t site everyone. Head coach Andy Reid has been in this situation a number of times in the final week of the season and the Chiefs have still played very well while sitting guys in this spots. In fact, Reid sat his starting QB in 2013, 2017, 2020, and 2023 in the final week of the season and KC won 2 of those games outright and another went to OT. And while QB Mahomes won’t play here, we’re not looking at some inexperienced back up playing his first snaps. KC will start veteran Carson Wentz at QB (22,000 career passing yards and 153 TD’s) and he’s playing for a potential contract whether it be in KC or somewhere else so we expect a solid game from him. Wentz obviously has much more experience than Denver QB rookie Bo Nix and a lot less pressure on him in this game. A lot falls on Nix shoulders (and his teammates) here as Denver needs a win to make the playoffs. Denver had must win games the last 2 weeks to potentially make the playoffs and couldn’t get it done losing to the Chargers & Bengals. Now another must win here certainly doesn’t mean they will win this game, especially by margin. Too many points here we grab KC plus double digits.
