With Case Keenum and the Denver Broncos looking to record consecutive victories and get some revenge for their loss against the Kansas City Chiefs a few weeks ago, the question for NFL betting enthusiasts is quite simple. Can Keenum and company keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and an explosive Chiefs offense that leads the NFL in scoring?
With Denver desperate to even its record and Kansas City looking to stay hot, let’s find out which team is offering the best value against their Week 8 NFL betting odds.
Week 8 AFC West rematch? Because the Broncos looked great this past weekend and they gave the Chiefs all they could handle in their narrow 27-23 home loss against Kansas City in Week 4.
The Broncos are coming off an emphatic 45-10 blowout win over Arizona on Thursday night as wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders threw and caught TD passes and the Broncos had a pair of pick-six touchdown returns against Arizona’s Josh Rosen.
“It has been a tough, tough two weeks,” Denver coach Vance Joseph said. “We had a tough loss on Sunday. We had a short week so it is really good for our football team to win a game. `’
Denver recorded three interceptions and forced Rosen to lose a pair of fumbles in the dominating win. Veteran quarterback Case Keenum passed for 161 yards with one touchdown and one interception while running back Phillip Lindsay rushed for 90 yards on 14 carries with a 28-yard TD run.
There’s also the fact that Kansas City is playing at home, not to mention the fact that they’ve got the far better quarterback and head coach in this pairing.
The Chiefs put a 45-10 beatdown on a pretty good Cincinnati team on Sunday night as Mahomes tossed three TD passes like they were going out of style.
