Denver vs UM Kansas City Prediction

UM Kansas City will be up for this game at home where eight of its 11 wins have come and its senior night. I get it. However, this line is nuts for a Kansas City team that’s lost nine of its last 10 games. Kansas State is 3-7 ATS during that span as well. Denver isn’t great, but it did beat Kansas City last month as a 3.5-point underdog. I just don’t think there’s much difference between Denver and Kansas City, and I’m not laying this much chalk with a team that’s not winning. Give me Denver and the points.
