This is a 10* SIDE OF THE MONTH on the Kansas City Chiefs.

We played this one the moment the lines first came out and got +7.5 and it's since dropped, but regardless, we love the visitors to take this one down to the wire and to at the very least, sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the handful of points they've been afforded. This is a revenge game for Kansas City after it let a late lead slip away in a 31-24 setback to the Broncos back in Week 2. And now it appears that the two teams are indeed moving in opposite directions, as KC has won two straight, while the injured and aging Broncos are coming off their first loss of the season. The reason Denver has been so good is because of its defense, as QB Peyton Manning has thrown a league-high 13 INT's as part of an offense which is ranked 22nd in the NFL based on yards per game. And now Denver's vaunted defensive unit comes into this one severely injured, as key components Aqib Talib and LB DeMarcus Ware are both sidelined. And that's good news for the Chiefs offensive unit, QB Alex Smith has 4 TD passes in his last two games, while RB Charcandrick West has a combined 207 yards on the ground with two TD's. Note that Kansas City is 7-6 ATS in its last 13 vs. division opponents and 12-9 ATS in its last 21 on the road, while Denver is 1-3 ATS in its last four following a loss after giving up 27 points or more. Play on the CHIEFS.
