Mile High Report
The Mile High Report staff give their score predictions for the Week 10 matchup between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs.
The Denver Broncos face their biggest test of the season on the road against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Denver began the week a full 9.5-point dawgs on the road, but that line has shifted steadily in the Broncos favor and now stands at 7.5-points. That is a healthy shift in our direction, so maybe an upset is in the cards this weekend.

Collectively, our Mile High Report staff is predicting this Chiefs will eek out a 25-21 home win over the Broncos in Week 10. Not all of us predicted our hated rival will be victorious, though, so here is where we each think the final score ends up on Sunday:
I fully expect some overreaction this week from the fanbase. Last week, I predicted a close Broncos road loss when everyone seemed to predicting a shocking win. While it was a blowout loss, I feel that the NFL is game of inches and the Broncos were inches away from several big plays early in this game that, I believe, would have turned the game into a close loss instead of a blowout loss.

However, that is also why I’m feeling more bullish this week than I was last week. The Chiefs have an untenable win streak to manage and they’ll lose at some point. In fact, they almost lost last week. Denver has been playing Patrick Mahomes tough in recent years and this is a good opportunity to catch them sleeping. - Tim Lynch
The Chiefs are, like the Ravens, one of the elite teams in the NFL. Yes, a “no duh” statement to start it off. The Broncos could win this game. Stranger things have happened. I just don’t see it. And this isn’t just about Patrick Mahomes as the QB. The Chiefs defense is legit. They are a tough matchup for the Broncos. With limited weapons, and a QB that is still just a rookie learning the game, asking the Broncos offense to hang with Kansas City is a bit of a stretch. I’d be surprised if they don’t find a way to put points on the board. Sean Payton proved he is willing to call big plays. I just don’t see a win happening this week. - Adam Malnati
The Chiefs are the reigning champs and only undefeated team left in the NFL. Their defense has been stellar to date and even with Patrick Mahomes struggling compared to years past, their...
