The Denver Broncos have little left to play for except pride and the potential for a contract in 2023 if they going to be a free agent. There is also the need to put out good tape for the incoming new head coach - whoever that may be. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs are fighting for homefield advantage in the AFC and beating Denver at home would be an important step towards that.
A tale of two franchises. One is used to winning and competing for championships, the other talks about winning and competing for championships. It’s a tough spot to be in for a Broncos fan, but there is always next year.
Here’s how to watch.

Broncos-Chiefs Betting Odds
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Broncos opened huge 13.5-point underdogs on the road to the Chiefs. Somehow, that line has actually shifted the Broncos way and stands at 12.5-points now with an over/under at 45.
Fan Sentiment
The Broncos moving on from Nathaniel Hackett last week was exactly the right move for the team to make to bring fans back into the fold for the final two games. The only way to convince us they were going to move back in the right direction was to end the tumultuous Hackett era.
