NFL Picks: Broncos vs. Chiefs
When divisional opponents, like the Broncos and Chiefs, get together late in the season the final scores tend to be lower than expected, especially in higher total games.
This is the crux of our Divisional Unders NFL PRO Betting System that has provided a stunning 62% win rate since 2005, including a sample of more than 325 games.
It's not an easy bet to make considering Kansas City's No. 1-ranked pass offense per Football Outsiders' DVOA, but don't forget, Vic Fangio's defense excels against the pass as well, ranking fifth in DVOA.
Additionally, the Broncos' offense ranks dead last in the same metric, inspiring little confidence that it can do its part to push this number over the total.
PRO Report Angle: Under 50.5
