The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs boast one of the more storied rivalries in the NFL, but that hasn't impacted the line for this game. The Broncos are 12.5-point favorites heading into Week 2.
That doesn't have Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning sleeping on the Chiefs.

"The Chiefs are a playoff team coming back," Peyton Manning said. "Just like last year, you throw out what happened last week; you throw it out the window. It's a division game, two teams very familiar with each other, well coached, talented football teams. It's a physical football game and that's how we have to play Sunday because we know that's how they're going to play."
Cornerback Aqib Talib reiterated that the Broncos weren't going to overlook the Chiefs and talked about the challenges QB Alex Smith and RB Jamaal Charles present in the running game.
"He (Smith) can run better than guys give him credit for, so if things break down, he can hurt you with his legs," said Talib. "We definitely know they're going to have a heavy gameplan for Jamaal since he had only about seven touches in the first game."

Wes Welker still suspended
Denver Broncos wide receiver was thought to be reinstated Friday night following the NFLPA's unanimous approval of a new league drog policy, but the NFL will meet to hash out remaining issues early next week. Thus, Welker is still ineligible.
