The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos meet for the first time this season as the Broncos become the latest team to attempt to knock off the last undefeated team in the NFL.
Kansas City is a perfect 8-0 after its 30-24 OT win over Tampa Bay. While officiating was questioned yet again, Kansas City escaped and Patrick Mahomes had his best showing yet. Mahomes broke his eight-game streak of interceptions by going for 291 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no picks on 34-of-44 (77.3%).
Denver is 5-4 on the year and facing its toughest test of the season after just suffering its toughest test of the season. The Broncos failed in that test, losing 41-10 to Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in Baltimore. Now, the Broncos go on the road to Arrowhead to face a Chiefs team they have lost to 16 out of the last 17 times dating back to 2015.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Patrick Mahomes to start a new streak, throwing no interceptions:
“I wrote about Mahomes not throwing an interception last week to break his eight-game interception streak and boy, did he do it dominantly!
Mahomes went 33-of-44 for 291 passing yards and three touchdowns in the OT win over Tampa Bay. The Chiefs’ defense has been great all season and with a total of 41.5, I don’t expect many points and the Chiefs to be in a positive game script, running Kareem Hunt into the ground.
I like Mahomes to go Under 0.5 interceptions for a second-straight game.”
