NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Chiefs vs. Broncos
Chiefs vs. Broncos
It was a quick turnaround for these teams as they faced each other just a couple of weeks ago. The Chiefs' offense has looked phenomenal in some games, but in others, they have struggled. You wouldn't believe they could only put 19 points against a defense that had given up 70 to another opponent earlier in the season. This could be the last time version of this Broncos team as rumors swirl of several players being available at the trade deadline. At 2-5, they don't look good on either side of the ball, but they have played a lot of close games, and if the ball bounced a different way, they could have been .500 or better. The Chiefs don't want to play another close game, and they played much better last week against the Chargers, they can carry that into this game and get a convincing win.
Pick: Chiefs -7

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
