Week 13 at Kansas City Chiefs

It’s Kansas City. It’s Arrowhead Stadium. It’s Patrick Mahomes and it’s an early start on the road.  What else? Oh, the Chiefs are also coming off their bye week.

Sorry guys, but Denver gets handled in this one.

Chiefs 30, Broncos 16

Record: 8-4

Week 14 vs. Detroit Lions

If you’re licking your wounds after yet another loss to the Chiefs, who better than to get right against than the Lions? Yes, the Lions are going to be bad… again.

This is another one of those games where the Broncos,  so long as they don’t play down to their opposition, will show the league that they are a team on its way.

Broncos 28, Lions 12

Record: 9-4

Week 15 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

As you can see, the Broncos get a very favorable schedule this year as after the Lions, they get the forever-bad Bengals. Now, the Bengals have some good young pieces on Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, but as is the case in places like Jacksonville and New York, it’s going to take some time to develop it.

The Broncos get to double-digit wins on the season with an easy win here.

Broncos 24, Bengals 10

Record: 10-4
