The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs meet up for a big AFC West showdown on Monday. Here are four bold predictions for the game.

Throughout history, the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs have played in some big time games. For a game so early in the season, this will prove to be one of the bigger ones. It will certainly begin to shape at least the AFC West.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have an offense that can put a lot of points on you. But the defense is suspect. They have given up a lot of points and a lot of yards total and through the air. They are also in the bottom half in rushing yards.

This game could turn into a shootout if the Broncos offense comes ready to do battle. The Chiefs also have not played a defense like the Broncos before. We could see them cool down and not get to 30 points.

That still may not happen if the Broncos are unable to get a hold and stop the Kansas City playmakers. If there is a way that they can stop them, this game could go over well for them.

With such a big game on the line, it is important for the Denver Broncos to get a win to tie the Chiefs and own the tiebreaker before they go to Arrowhead later on in October.

There are some big things that could happen in this game. Therefore, I give my bold predictions for this game.
