Here is who the national experts are saying will win Chiefs-Broncos rematch

It was almost a clean sweep for the Chiefs among national NFL observers who made straight-up picks for Week 8 of the NFL season.

All but one writer out of 47 that I found believed that the Chiefs would knock off the Denver Broncos when the teams play Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.

The game kicks off at noon and will be broadcast on CBS (Ch. 5).

Here is the breakdown and what people are saying about the game, which is a rematch of their meeting earlier this month:

Each of the eight CBS Sports writers picked the Chiefs: Pete Prisco, Jason La Canfora, Jared Dubin, John Breech, Dave Richard, Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and Jamey Eisenberg. Pete Prisco predicted a 30-19 Chiefs win. He wrote: “Denver’s pass rush could be an issue here for the Chiefs, but Kansas City is so good on offense right now that it won’t matter. The Chiefs roll..”

Elliot Harrison of NFL.com called a 30-14 Chiefs win. He wrote in part: “Are the Broncos back in contention? Perhaps, but they will lose this week. They’ve had since last Friday to prepare for Patrick Mahomes and the most dynamic offense in the league. Denver will also find out -- oh, about seven seconds into Kansas City’s first possession -- that this group is not only not the Cardinals, but that it’s a different deal playing Andy Reid’s team at Arrowhead.”

David Steele of the Sporting News thinks the Chiefs will prevail 33-26. He wrote in part: “The Broncos keep looking like they should be winning more than they are; that game was a reminder, and so was Thursday’s bludgeoning of the Cardinals. But their record is what it is, their defense and offense keeps taking turns disappearing at the wrong times, and Mahomes handled the threat on the road last time.”

All but one of ESPN’s 10 experts forecast a Chiefs victory: Mike Golic, Trey Wingo, Molly Qerim, Louis Riddick, Kevin Seifert, Matt Bowen, Mike Clay, Mina Kimes and Dan Graziano. Seth Wickersham went with the Broncos.

The seven Sports Illustrated Monday Morning Quarterback writers all picked the Chiefs: Albert Breer, Andrew Brandt, Mitch Goldich, Jonathan Jones, Bette Marston, Mark Mravic and Jenny Vrentas.

Each of USA Today’s five experts picked the Chiefs: Nate Davis, Lorenzo Reyes, Mike Jones, Mike Middlehurst-Schwartz and Jarrett Bell.

All eight Pro Focus Football writers believe the Chiefs will win:

The seven SB Nation writers picked a Chiefs victory: Adam Stites, Ryan Van Bibber, Charles McDonald, David Fucillo, Geoff Schwartz, Stephen White and Christian D’Andrea predicted a Chiefs victory.
