Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes & Travis Kelce in Week 10 vs. Broncos

The Chiefs square off with the Broncos in a Week 10 AFC West showdown and there are several intriguing betting options on the board.

Patrick Mahomes is coming off his best game of the season with three TDs and no turnovers against the Buccaneers. Travis Kelce caught 14 passes in a performance for the ages, making it obvious that DeAndre Hopkins’ acquisition will have a positive impact on the offense.

Denver beat Kansas City the last time these squads squared off, though Mahomes and Kelce are cooking up revenge. Let’s look at this week’s best bets for the Hall of Fame duo with an undefeated season suddenly on the table.

Any situation in which you can get Mahomes to notch 250 or more passing yards at plus odds is one worth at least considering. Despite the Broncos’ vaunted pass defense that ranks fourth in the NFL in opponent yards per pass attempt (5.9), they surrendered 14.2 yards per pass against Lamar Jackson just last week.

Denver beat Kansas City the last time these squads squared off, though Mahomes and Kelce are cooking up revenge. Let’s look at this week’s best bets for the Hall of Fame duo with an undefeated season suddenly on the table.

Patrick Mahomes 250+ Passing Yards (+148)
Any situation in which you can get Mahomes to notch 250 or more passing yards at plus odds is one worth at least considering. Despite the Broncos’ vaunted pass defense that ranks fourth in the NFL in opponent yards per pass attempt (5.9), they surrendered 14.2 yards per pass against Lamar Jackson just last week.

The Ravens exposed some flaws in Denver’s defense that Mahomes can take advantage of. He has 250+ passing yards in three of his last four contests. In his last five against the Broncos? Mahomes is averaging 299.2 yards a game.

With Hopkins in the fold and Denver on the ropes, Mahomes should once again dominate. Expect him to utilize the short passing game to compile yardage while leaning on Hopkins and Kelce on third downs.

The logical here is similar to that above. Mahomes has 2+ TD passes in three of his last five meetings with the Broncos with five over the last two weeks. If this new-look Chiefs offense is here to stick, then Mahomes could gobble up scores with rapid efficiency.

Considering the way Kansas City operates in the red zone, full of touch passes and trick plays, Mahomes can sneak out a pair of TDs without even having a stellar game. Should the three-time Super Bowl MVP have a great game? He could throw for four scores

Mahomes cannot be slowed down when he’s fully engaged. Despite the Broncos’ stout defense, he’ll easily throw for multiple TD passes if he decides to.

Getting this bet at +100 odds is a slam-dunk value no matter the opponent
