Broncos are a Great Bet to Bounce Back
The Denver Broncos were flying high prior to Week 9’s contest against the Indianapolis Colts but were brought back down to life at the hands of Andrew Luck and company, suffering their first loss of the season in the process. The Broncos, who play host to Kansas City in Week 10, have historically been great at preventing back to back losses as favorites. Denver is 12-0 SU and 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games after losing as favorites.

The Chiefs had previously dropped five games in a row ATS before stringing together the aforementioned wins.
