KC (+ 3.5) @ Denver (11-27-16)

[oldunclemark]

8:30 EST...Mike Tirico (I guess Al Michaels gets the Holidays weekend off) Cris Collinsworth and Michelle Tafoya

mid-40s and lights winds in the Mile High Stadium...over-under (a very low) 39.5

 

Great old American Football League matchup and a pivotal game in the AFC.

KC (7-3) and Denver (7-3) meet again tin Kansas City on Christmas Day

 

KC QB Alex (The Night Manager) Smith (203 of 302, 2,077 yards, 9 TDs, 4 INTs) is Mr. Careful....and he'll be even less likely to throw long without injured WR Jeremy Maclin (30 catches, 376 yards) who is out.   The main hands man is TE Travis Kelce (49 catches, 574 yards, 3 TDs) KC has scored 22 TDs and kicked 23 field goals

RB Spencer Ware (132 runs, 641 yards) grinds out the first downs but its the KC defense that makes plays  KC has 18 sacks and 13 pass interceptions..

KC linebacker Dee Ford (10 sacks) is out he will be missed on this night. Sounds like ace corner Marcus Peters (5 interceptions) is a 'go' for the Chiefs..

 

Denver QB Trevor (Last man drafted) Siemian  (175 of 291, 2,028 yards, 12 TDs, 7 INts) needed the bye week to rest a banged up shoulder.

In fact, the Broncos welcome CB Aqib Talib and DE Derek Wolfe back off the injury list after the bye week.

WRs Demariyus Thomas (55 catches, 68 yards, 5 TDs) played huis best game of the season 2 weeks again at NOLA..

Denver shuffled the O-line during the bye week and they needed to.

The Broncos running game has shut down without injured CJ Anderson.  They average just 3.7 per carry.

The Broncos slow pony offense may have to do with youth. Can you believe that no Denver offensive player is over the age of 30?

 

     The 'under' here is dangerous because Denver may be forced to throw due to their Rice Krispies running attack.

     TDs or pick 6s could beat the low under number (39.5)

 

..With 2 weeks off...and with KC missing key players......I like Denver even giving up 3 1/2 ....

Denver 24 Kansas City 10.

[oldunclemark]

the wildcard team in the AFC is west is probably going to play at a .500 team

[oldunclemark]

wow..there's not going to be many points scored on offense in this one. Nobody's blocking

Houston is an absolute wrecking machine in this game

Houston as in the player for the Chiefs, not the Texans. If that's what you're wondering about

[2006Coltsbestever]

Pretty good game so far. It's about Defense. 9-3 Chiefs right now. Big Von Miller is on fire now!

    yes, I was the one confused,  not you.   Sorry.

[oldunclemark]

  Houston plays for Kansas City, Gramz.?

Who's on first?

[oldunclemark]

       Denver is getting very close to a QB switch..

Happens to the best of us!

[oldunclemark]

10 1/2 game sin..here's where Denver might miss Peyton

[BloodyChamp]

The Denver RTs (they finally benched the starter) were just BAD. Lame game but insane 4th Qtr.

[oldunclemark]

what happened to KC's pass defense?

 

gambles...and they lost big

[oldunclemark]

TD on the last play? 

[BPindy]

One of the best games of the year

[oldunclemark]

  so much for the 'under'

[oldunclemark]

27-27.....late in overtime....a tie hurts both teams

[poaponies]

that was bad decision 

 

[BloodyChamp]

Is Cris Collinsworth taking estrogen or something

a tie is a loss..really had to gamble

[buffalo34]

Thanks for being so clutch Broncos D. Had more chances than you could count on one hand to seal this. Letting receivers run wild isn't a scheme FYI.

Broncos could've stopped them on the final drive before OT. Had a 4th and 10 to defend, a play on the goal line, even stopping the 2 point conversion wins it. Also had a chance to win it after getting the FG in OT and they don't.

A 62 yard FG before the half is one thing, it's another thing when you're behind, but not when the score is tied, IMO.

 

If the Broncos miss the playoffs, this could be the decision a lot of folks will point towards.

They aren't doing nothing anyway without Peyton.

[BloodyChamp]

Dude...Peyton would have died against that defense. Like died. Like they would have killed him and he died.

True but a 62-yard field goal in Denver is very possible

..of course you can second guess it.

But to punt concedes a tie and a tie would have put them 1 1/12 games behind Oakland anyway.

 

They get to play KC and Oakland again

At least they'd be alive and with one more chance to take KC down rather than a game behind KC too.

When Broncos got last TD they should of gone for 2, if made game was a 9 pointeer & out of reach, if not , it stayed at 7 and KC on a score wouldnt have gone for 2 and still would of had a OT

And pretty sure using cut on a phone works too.
