The Kansas City Chiefs will try to stay on top of the AFC West Division today as they travel to face the slumping Denver Broncos. Kick-off on CBS is set for 4:10pm EST and online sportsbooks opened with the Chiefs as 1 point road favorites in NFL week 10 picks with an over/under betting total of 45. Kansas City is 5-3 both straight up and against the spread in NFL lines with an even 4-4 split on over/unders. After a 3-0 start the Chiefs have stumbled with a 2-3 mark and are coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss in NFL odds at Oakland last week 23-20 in which they let the Raiders off the hook late in the game.
Jamaal Charles leads the number one ranked ground attack into NFL lines for week 10 with 719 yards and a stunning 6.4 YPC average. Matt Cassel has an 89.2 QB rating with a 12/4 TD/INT ratio. The Chiefs play a conservative style in which the emphasis is on eliminating mistakes. The trade off is that they are not that explosive. The defense ranks 15th overall heading into NFL week 10 picks and is smarting from the late breakdowns at Oakland last week. Denver is 2-6 both straight up and against the spread in NFL odds with 6 of their games going OVER the total. The Broncos rank 24th for scoring on offense and 27th for points allowed on defense.
Kyle Orton has a 92.7 QB rating and has felt the strain of having to carry the attack as the ground game ranks dead last heading into NFL week 10 picks. Josh McDaniels is looking more and more like a mistake hiring as head coach and is under fire. Fans are also demanding the Orton be replaced with Tim Tebow. The Chiefs and Broncos have gone OVER the total in NFL lines for 5 of their last 6 games and the Chiefs have paid out in 3 of their last 4 games against Denver.
