Kansas City Chiefs News and Betting Tips for Sunday, January 01, 2012

The Kansas City Chiefs offense has been nothing but a struggle this season. The Chiefs lost their top running back and their quarterback. Kansas City went with Tyler Palko for a while, but are finishing the season with Kyle Orton. The Chiefs top offensive threat has been Dwayne Bowe, with over 1,000 yards and 5 touchdowns. Kansas City’s defense has kept them alive in games, as they are in the middle of the pack allowing 337.8 yards per game. The Chiefs have seen the under hit in nine out of their last ten games overall.

Our Chiefs vs. Broncos Pick and Predictions

The Denver Broncos need this win in a bad way. They cannot rely on the Chargers to beat the Raiders on the road. Tim Tebow had his worst game as a professional last week in the loss to the Bills. Look for the home crowd to be fired up for this game. Both Tebow and Orton will want to prove a lot going against each other in this game. In the end, we feel the Broncos offense is just a bit better than the Chiefs offense. By less than a touchdown, but enough to cover the spread – Denver will win this game. Our final bet is the Denver Broncos -3.5 over the Kansas City Chiefs.
