The AFC West is the NFL’s most competitive division with all four teams within one game of each other. The division-leading Kansas City Chiefs (7-4) return off their bye to host the Denver Broncos (6-5) on Sunday Night Football. Kansas City has won four straight behind Patrick Mahomes as the team is finally resembling the one that lit up the scoreboard over the last few years. With the Broncos being known more for their defense than offense, Mahomes should be one of the many Chiefs populating NFL DFS lineups for Sunday Night Football.
And why wouldn’t you want to make the 2018 MVP a top NFL DFS pick for Chiefs vs. Broncos? Mahomes has experienced nothing but success vs. the Broncos with a 7-0 all-time record. Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill will surely also be popular picks, but who else should factor into your NFL DFS strategy?

Top NFL DFS picks for Broncos vs. Chiefs
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday Night Football is Mahomes. The 2018 MVP is coming off a subpar game vs. the Cowboys in which he had 260 yards and no TDs, but that game was in Week 11. The Chiefs had a bye last week and Mahomes has a 7:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio when coming off the bye in his regular season career.
Denver’s defense vaulted to the top of the rankings after facing a bunch of rookie and overwhelmed QBs in the first few weeks. But it has regressed considerably as the level of competition has risen. The Broncos have allowed multiple TD passes in each of the last three weeks and in five of their last seven games. So, you can see why McClure is high on Mahomes this week.
Another part of McClure’s optimal Week 13 NFL DFS strategy for Sunday night includes stacking Mahomes with Kelce. The six-time Pro Bowler had five catches for 74 yards in his last game while also rushing for a TD for the second time in his career.
Kelce has abused the Broncos throughout his career, including eight grabs for 136 yards and a touchdown when he last saw them. Kelce has surpassed 130 receiving yards eight times in his career and half of those games have come against Denver. The Broncos have been stout against opposing tight ends this year but gave up its first touchdown to a TE last week vs. the Chargers.
