Broncos vs. Chiefs Odds, Prediction

Thursday’s 3-game holiday slate will wrap up with Denver taking on Kansas City at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video. NFL fans won’t get to see Patrick Mahomes on Christmas Day, but they will get to watch Bo Nix and the current top-seeded Broncos continue their push for home field throughout the AFC playoffs.

As always, it is worth noting that straight wagers are a far more profitable long-term betting strategy than parlays. Still, parlays can be a fun way to get some extra action on a game to make things interesting!Looking to get in on the action? Be sure to check out the latest bet365 promo code!

Thursday Night Football - Same Game Parlay

  • RJ Harvey 50+ Rush Yards
  • Isiah Pacheco 50+ Rush Yards
  • Chris Oladokun 20+ Rush Yards

PAYOUT: +1300

RJ Harvey 50+ Rush Yards

Since J.K. Dobbins went down with a season-ending injury in Week 10, there has been little debate about who is the top option in Denver’s ground game. Across their last 5 contests, Harvey has received 67 of the 94 attempts that have gone to the running back position, including 16 of 20 attempts inside the red zone and 5 of the 6 goal-line carries.

This past weekend, the Chiefs allowed Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears to combine for 154 rushing yards on 34 attempts (4.53 yards per carry). Harvey should have plenty of running room against a Kansas City team that appears to be in full tank mode.

Isiah Pacheco 50+ Rush Yards

Now that Kansas City is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, they seem to be less incentivized to involve 30-year-old Kareem Hunt in the offense. In Week 16, he played a season-low 11 snaps, with Isiah Pacheco receiving 8 of the team’s 11 carries that went to the running back position.

Since Pacheco returned from injury in Week 13, he has gradually seen his workload increase in each game. During the last 2 games, Pacheco has received 19 of the team’s 31 running back rushing attempts, including all 6 carries inside the red zone. 

Pacheco might be able to find some running room in this matchup against a Denver defense that ranks only 12th in EPA/play against the run since their bye.

Chris Oladokun 20+ Rush Yards

Chris Oladokun was fairly mobile during his time at South Dakota State. He’s far from an elite runner, but he showed this past Sunday against the Titans that he’s more than capable of escaping the pocket from time to time.

Denver is likely to play a lot of man coverage against what should be an injury-depleted Kansas City wide receiver corps on Thursday. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him make a few plays with his legs.
