Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos NFL preview & tips | Week 6
This upcoming Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off against the Denver Broncos in week six of the NFL’s Thursday Night Football. While this matchup may not seem evenly matched on paper, Thursday games often bring unexpected twists. Here are our top betting picks for the week six opener.
Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos preview
Despite the Kansas City Chiefs being significantly stronger than the Denver Broncos, we’re leaning towards the underdogs in this matchup. Historically, the Broncos have given the Chiefs a run for their money, and they managed to cover the spread in both meetings last year. With Denver getting a hefty 10.5-point advantage, especially with Chiefs’ star tight end Travis Kelce likely sidelined, taking the Broncos might not be the prettiest pick, but it’s the one we’re going with for what promises to be a potentially messy, classic Thursday Night game.
Denver Broncos +10.5
Jerry Jeudy Over 4.5 Receptions
Jerry Jeudy is the primary wide receiver for the Denver Broncos, and while he’s had a tough start to the season, we anticipate Denver will rely heavily on passing to keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ high-powered offense. When the Broncos air it out, Jeudy tends to become a favorite target. He’s surpassed this reception count in two out of four games this season, and we expect him to do it again in this particular matchup.

Jerick McKinnon Longest Reception Over 9.5 Yards
Jerick McKinnon, though primarily a running back for the Chiefs, is often used as a pass-catching option out of the backfield. With Travis Kelce’s injury, McKinnon should see increased involvement, and his agility and speed make this bet an appealing choice. The veteran running back has recorded catches of over 10 yards in four out of five games this season, and the Broncos’ defense shouldn’t pose a significant obstacle. This stands as our top bet for this Thursday night with the top bookmakers.
Jerick McKinnon Longest Reception Over 9.5 Yards
Patrick Mahomes Over .5 Interceptions
While Patrick Mahomes is undoubtedly the NFL’s premier quarterback, his propensity for throwing interceptions is evident, mainly due to his high passing volume. The Broncos’ defensive strength lies in their secondary, and they are expected to remain active throughout the game. Mahomes has thrown four interceptions in five games this season, and we’re betting that he’ll add to that tally in this matchup.
