The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a bye going into their Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Historically, this is a good thing for Andy Reid-coached teams.
Reid is 22-4 coming off a bye as head coach, which is the best record of any coach in NFL history. He was 13-1 after a bye with the Eagles and is 9-3 with the Chiefs.
The Kansas City coach is only 1-2 in games when both teams are coming off a bye, but when his team is coming off a bye and the other team played the week before, Reid is 21-2.
That will be the case this week, as Denver played at Las Vegas on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.
As of Monday's NFL odds at BetMGM, the Chiefs are a 3.5-point favorite.
Spread: Chiefs -3.5 (-115), Broncos +3.5 (-105)
Total: Over 44.5 (-110), Under 44.5 (-110)
Moneyline: Chiefs -210, Broncos +170
This matchup is similar to when the Chiefs faced the 49ers last year coming off a bye, and the 49ers played on Thursday Night Football the previous week.
Kansas City won the game 28-18.
Specific to Denver, Kansas City dominated the divisional matchup until the last two years. Prior to the teams splitting the two meetings each of the last two seasons, Kansas City swept the season series seven straight years, dating back to the 2016 season.
Denver enters the matchup this year 8-2 and atop the AFC West standings.
