The Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) visit the Denver Broncos (5-2) at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday, November 1, in a pivotal AFC West showdown. The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on CBS with streaming on Paramount+.
The Broncos enter on a three-game winning streak after a 30-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Their only recent loss came against the then-undefeated San Francisco 49ers on October 4. The Chiefs are looking to rebound from a 20-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, their worst performance of the season, where quarterback Patrick Mahomes was held to just three points.
This is the second meeting between the division rivals; the Chiefs won the Week 1 matchup. The Broncos have won three of the last four meetings at Mile High, where elevation and crowd noise create a challenging environment. A split of the season series would boost Denver's bid to repeat as AFC West champions.
Injury update: Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice returns from a hamstring injury that sidelined him since Week 4. Before the injury, Rice had 13 receptions on 17 targets for 190 yards and one touchdown in four games.
Odds favor the Chiefs by 1.5 points (via DraftKings). Prediction: Chiefs to win a close game, 30-27, with Rice expected to be a factor in his return.
