My prediction: Broncos by seven against the Chiefs

Three wins in a row, top spot in the AFC West on offer and a score to settle from September. I think Denver edge it.

The Broncos host the Chiefs on Sunday (21:25 GMT), and I think Denver win by about seven.

They've won three in a row, and at 5-2 against Kansas City's 5-1, a win would put them top of the AFC West. Bo Nix looks to be getting back to his usual self. Against Arizona last week he threw for 222 yards and ran in a 62-yard touchdown, and I think this game will confirm it.

There's a score to settle, too. The Chiefs won the opener 31-10 at Arrowhead in September, but they haven't won at Mile High since Sean Payton took over. He's won all three home games against them, 24-9 in 2023, 38-0 in 2024 and 22-19 last season.

With RJ Harvey ruled out, rookie Jonah Coleman should get more of the ball, and Wil Lutz has been reliable, making 12 of 15 field goals and every extra point. The big job is keeping Kenneth Walker on a leash. He leads the league with 116.8 rushing yards a game and ran for 173 in the first meeting.

Broncos by seven.
