Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos: How to watch, new kickoff time, betting line
The Chiefs had hoped their game in Denver this weekend would be an opportunity to clinch the top seed in the AFC playoffs.
That can still happen in Week 18, but the Chiefs will need to beat the Broncos and have the Texans upset the Titans in Houston. The New York Times shows the Chiefs have a 22% chance of getting the No. 1 seed, while FiveThirtyEight.com puts that chance at 21%.
Looking for a glimmer of hope? Houston defeated the Titans 22-13 in Nashville in November.
Even if the Texans can finish off the season sweep, the Chiefs will still need to defeat the Broncos on Saturday.
