The have already had two opportunities to convince America that they're the best team in football in a year that features very few -- maybe zero -- actual good teams. And they've failed to capitalize on both of those chances.After starting the season 5-0, in a highly hyped showdown with the - Wilt Chamberlain Jersey - another team in the best team conversation -- losing 19-13. Just a few days later, the Chiefs traveled to Oakland with another chance -- plus the chance to KO the ' season. , blowing their second opportunity to secure the crown. Suddenly, they're 5-2. They're no longer the best team by overall record. And their division lead still isn't secure.They'll get a third chance to cement their status on Monday night -- plus, another chance to take a stranglehold over the AFC West when they play host to the 3-3 . If they win for the first time since Oct. 8, they'll be two games up in the win column and back in the best team conversation. It's Broncos-Chiefs on "Monday Night Football" in an AFC West showdown. And after stupidly thinking the could upset the last Monday night, this time I'm taking the favorite -- the Chiefs -- to thump the Broncos.Below, I'll explain why.The prediction: Chiefs 24, Broncos 10My "MNF" prediction record: 5-2How to watch, streamWhen: Monday at 8:30 p.m. ETWhere: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas CityTV: ESPNStreaming: A tale of two different offensesThe game will come down to whether the Broncos attack can begin to resemble an NFL-caliber offense. To this point, it hasn't. The Broncos have lost two straight games and three of their past four. They haven't scored at least 20 points since Week 2. In their past two lo ses, they're averaging five points per game. In their past four games, they're averaging 10.5 points per game. Translation: They're not good. It's Ben Simmons Jersey not as simple as replacing one part of the offense. Sure, quarterback has been unquestionably bad -- 7.0 YPA, eight touchdowns, seven picks, and an 82.5 pa ser rating -- but his coach, Vance Joseph, correctly pointed out that He's been sacked 22 times (tied for the third most).The Chiefs rank in the middle of the pack in sacks -- tied for 15th with 15 -- and according to PFF, they've generated pre sure 33.2 percent of the time. So, it's not like the Chiefs boast this incredible defense, which is actually something that needs to be pointed out more frequently. We've grown so accustomed to thinking the Chiefs always trot out a top-tier defense that we've overlooked the fact that their defense is , 29th in yards allowed per game, and 19th in points allowed per game. They're not good and certainly not impenetrable. So the Broncos stand a chance on offense -- a slim chance, but still a chance.The bad news for the Broncos is that unlike their offense, the Chiefs' offense is really damn good at doing the kind of things offenses are supposed to do like, you know, gain yards and score points Jahlil Okafor Jersey . They're ranked second in points per game with 29.6, third in yards per game with 392.4, first in giveaways with one, and Quarterback leads the NFL in YPA (8.68) and pa ser rating (120.5), and has thrown 15 touchdowns and still no interceptions. Rookie running back leads the NFL in rushing yards (717) and yards from scrimmage (1,002). Second-year receiver has made the leap from home-run hitter to all-around receiver with 36 catches, 515 yards, and three touchdowns. is still one of the game's premier pa s-catching tight ends (423 yards and three touchdowns). And Andy Reid continues to use the league's most creative playbook. Was this just a zone read? YupBut do you now have to prepare for this formation when you play KC? Yup Josh Cohen (@jco3215) This is a tale of two completely different offenses. And the difference between the two are too substantial to ignore. The Chiefs are going to win because they boast the best offense in football and the Broncos feature one of the league's worst offenses.Broncos defense: Their only hopeThe Broncos do, at least, have a defense still. And that defense is their only hope to pull off the upset and leave Arrowhead with a win. So far this season, the Broncos are allowing 19.7 points per game (the ninth fewest) and are To win, the Broncos just won't need to force punts, they'll also need to come away with turnovers. The bad news is that the Chiefs have turned the ball over once this season. The good news is that the Broncos' pa Tiago Splitter Jersey s rush has a chance to be effective and therefore, they could force the Chiefs into making some mistakes. The weakne s of the Chiefs might just be their offensive line, which is ranked 17th in pa s-blocking efficiency (according to PFF) and (according to Football Outsiders). Smith has been under pre sure on 35.6 percent of his dropbacks, which ranks in the middle of the pack, per PFF. So, it's not as if the Chiefs' offensive line is awful. It just isn't a strength. And the Broncos certainly have a pa s rush with leading the way. The only problem is that the Broncos don't have a stud second pa s rusher to pair with Miller and his seven sacks. No one else on the team has more than two.The Broncos secondary -- led by and -- will test Smith and his group of receivers. The Broncos allow the sixth-fewest pa sing yards per attempt (6.4). According to PFF, Talib has a 55.3 pa ser rating in coverage (the 10th lowest among cornerbacks), Harris has an uncharacteristically high 93.0 pa ser rating in coverage, and third corner has an 83.1 pa ser rating in coverage. Prediction within the prediction: Smith's interception-le s streak will end on Monday night.And don't sleep on the Broncos' run defense. They limit their opposition to 71.8 rushing yards per game (second fewest in football) and 3.0 yards per carry (also the second fewest). So, Hunt will be challenged to break off his signature big plays. The Broncos' defense has the potential to turn this into a close game. This is also a tale of two different defenses. And if the Broncos had a somewhat competent offense, they'd have a good chance to win this game. But they don't, hence their 3-3 record. Special teams matterLet's not forget about the third part of the game: special teams. The Chiefs' special teams -- guided by legendary special teams coach Dave Toub -- are one of four units with a punt return touchdown, they allow the ninth fewest yards per kickoff return, and they've mi sed only one field goal. This is probably a function of luck and not skill, but opposing kickers are a horrible 9 of 12 on field goals against the Chiefs. And the Broncos have a kicking problem. Their kicker, , is making 61.5 percent of Markelle Fultz Jersey his field goals (8 of 13). Only and have been worse. Related: Both of those kickers have lost their jobs. The Broncos are also allowing the eighth most yards per kickoff return and the most yards per punt return.If this becomes a close game, give the edge to the Chiefs and The
