Amazon execs are wailing into their stacks of millions after realizing what they paid for this Christmas. 

However, this is the NFL, meaning they can serve their viewers shit on a spoon and people will still gobble it up rather than tune into the NBA. Cry more, LeBron.

Despite no Patrick Mahomes and this matchup being meaningless for one side, my Broncos vs. Chiefs anytime touchdown picks give you two plays for this Week 17 tilt.

Broncos anytime touchdown pick

RJ Harvey (-130 at bet365)

The Tennessee Titans scored 26 points against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. Let me repeat that. The Tennessee Titans scored 26 points against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. Hahahahahahahahaha. Or, ho ho ho ho ho ho. 'Tis the season!

The Denver Broncos have a much more potent offense, but I'm settling on RJ Harvey for my selection in a game where the visitors should put up 30.

The young RB has thrived since J.K. Dobbins went down, and he's found paydirt in four straight. A negative game script led to him having only seven carries in his last outing — his fewest in over a month — and he still managed to score.

Kansas City has been eaten alive in the trenches all season, and with the Broncos sitting as 13-point favorites, they should rely heavily on Harvey in the later stages.

Poor run defense mixed with plenty of carries should cook up a good result for Harvey and his backers. At -130, this price feels like a gift you find under the Christmas tree!

Chiefs anytime touchdown pick

No touchdown scorer (+185 at bet365)

If you want to know how screwed the Chiefs are, look no further than bet365's touchdown odds, where the Top 7 prices all belong to the Broncos.

The lowest price you can find on a touchdown scorer is Kareem Hunt at +350... and I am not about to bet on anyone scoring when they couldn't even crack the end zone against the TITANS. 

Chris Oladokun is about to get thrown to the wolves, with the Broncos ranking Top 10 in yards allowed, points allowed, and third-down defense. 

Even if the rookie QB can somehow get down the field, Denver has the second-best opposing RZ scoring percentage at just 43.18%. If you're looking for scores from Kansas City, I recommend laddering Harrison Butker's made kicks... because Red Kingdom ain't finding the end zone this holiday season.

Stints at Amherst News and the Cape Breton Post helped sharpen his skills in a newsroom setting, while working for MSVU and Dalhousie’s athletic departments landed Kyle in his comfort zone.

Kyle’s biggest tip for any bettor is simple: gamble responsibly. Only bet what you’re willing to lose and make sure to install a proper bankroll method to keep track of your ROI. If you’re still dwelling on the amount you lost the next day, it’s time to decrease your spending.
