The NFL season may only be 16 games long for each team, but despite being shorter than all the other major sports, it still manages to cram in a lot of ups and down. Teams that we believe will be great after the first 4 weeks end up in the middle of the pack just a few short weeks later. The Kansas City Chiefs were the hottest team in football at the start of the year, winning their first 5 games, which included an absolute demolishing of the defending Super Bowl Champions on opening night. It’s almost impossible to maintain that level of play for any length of time in the NFL, and the Chiefs have been brought back to earth with back to back losses, nevertheless, they come in as the NFL Week 8 odds favorite against the Denver Broncos.
This is still a very good, supremely confident team, but their season is not going to get any easier. The Broncos have been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride of their own, and really need a win in this one if they want to keep pace with the division-leading Chiefs. KC is a 7-point favorite for this one, with the point total set at 43.
The Chiefs now have a tough divisional match-up against another team that they have not had much success against, although you have to like their chances in this one. The Chiefs are an impressive 14-4 SU in their last 18 games at home and are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 overall.

Why bet on the Denver Broncos?
The Denver Broncos opened their season with back to back wins, which included a brilliant display against the Dallas Cowboys in a game that saw them win 42-17. It was, without a doubt, the best performance of the season from the Broncos, but it also marked the last game in which their offense was in any way effective. Since that big win versus Dallas, the Broncos have gone 1-3, and have struggled to generate much in the way of an offensive threat. They come into this one on the tail end of back to back losses against pretty mediocre teams, and they have only managed to put a total of 10 points on the board in those two games, which is why the NFL Week 8 odds are not by their side. Things look to be even tougher for this group, as the KC defense is one that can wreak havoc. The good news is that the Broncos usually do well versus the Chiefs, and re 7-3 SU in their last 10 meetings. They are also 5-1 SU in their last 6 games played at Arrowhead and are also 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games in KC.Team Statistics

Why bet on the Kansas City Chiefs?
Every team has an opponent or two that they always seem to struggle against, and it was going against one of those teams that sent the Kansas City Chiefs into a losing skid after such a strong start. KC has never really found a way to solve Pittsburgh, and it was the Steelers who went into Arrowhead and handed KC their first loss of the season. That loss was followed up by another one to the Oakland Raiders in a game for the ages, with Oakland scoring the winning TD with time running out.
