Chiefs-Broncos Under 40.5 Hinges On Stalled Scoring Chances

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos — Under 40.5 for the full-game combined score, including overtime.

Arizona converted only one of five red-zone trips against Denver. If Denver can slow the Chiefs near the goal line, Under 40.5 at -110 is worth a look.

Kansas City has supplied another relevant piece of the case. In the season opener, the Chiefs held Denver to 176 yards and two conversions on 12 third downs. Kansas City also lost 20-3 at Seattle in its latest game. Those results do not establish a repeat, but they support a plausible matchup in which movement and finishing both become difficult, leaving scoring opportunities unfinished.

The objection is substantial. Denver scored 30 points against Arizona, showing the Broncos can create enough offense to threaten the Under if Kansas City contributes. Take Under 40.5 if you expect Denver to slow the Chiefs and Kansas City to limit the Broncos again. Pass if Denver’s 30-point output is the stronger read for you, because that offense can spoil a low-scoring script.
