Chiefs and Broncos are the Only Two Unbeaten Teams in the NFL

The two lone remaining unbeaten teams in the NFL both reside in the AFC West. One almost certainly will win the divisional title while the other most likely will be at best, a “five seed” in the playoffs, no matter how good their record might be.

The Denver Broncos were nearly four touchdown favorites and for the second straight game did not come close to covering the point spread, in a (35-16) win vs the (0-6) Jacksonville Jaguars.

Earlier in the day, the Kansas City Chiefs had covered the spread with a (24-7) win vs their old rivals, the Oakland Raiders.

Next week the Chiefs, who have covered the spread in five of their six victories, host the disappointing Houston Texans.

The Texans, who were prohibitive favorites to win the AFC South, are (2-4) and have failed to cover the spread in all six games. That evokes the woeful Houston Astros, who finished the baseball season with a (51-111) record. They lost their last 15 games. Predictable next sentence: “Houston we (your teams) have a problem.”

Next Sunday night, the Broncos’ great regular season quarterback, Peyton Manning returns to Indianapolis where he played for 13 seasons before missing the entire 2011 season.

The Broncos will face the Colts who have a much hyped, but fine young quarterback, named Andrew Luck. As cited before, Manning deserves great credit for coming back from injury to play the past two seasons.

Denver will be about a touchdown favorite vs the (4-2) Colts, who unlike the (6-0) Broncos have undisputed possession of first place in their division, at this still relatively early point in the season.

Both teams are huge favorites (the Broncos 7 to 1, despite being tied with the Chiefs) to win divisional titles.
