Chiefs vs. Broncos prediction

Chiefs 13, Broncos 28: With two games left to play this season, Kansas City’s sixteen-week-long nightmare is almost over.

The primary focus of Thursday’s matchup will be the effort of the Chiefs’ backups. A victory, though not entirely out of the question, is unlikely given the state of Kansas City’s roster. Major performances from second- and third-string players could help answer some of the many questions the Chiefs have going into the offseason.

One key player to watch on Thursday will be superstar tight end Travis Kelce, who very well may be playing his final game at Arrowhead. The four-time All-Pro will be quarterback Chris Oladokun’s primary target as he looks to finish off his thirteenth season as Kansas City’s top receiver. Expect Kelce to have a solid outing on Thursday, though it will not be enough to secure a win.
