The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs wasted little time retooling their offenses this offseason, and tonight's Broncos vs. Chiefs combos are banking on some of those new pieces making an immediate impact.
With our Broncos vs. Chiefs predictions already locked in, my NFL picks are targeting Bo Nix through the air, Kenneth Walker III on the ground, and Jaylen Waddle in his Denver debut when Monday Night Football kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET.
Best Bronco vs Chiefs combos for Week 1

Broncos vs Chiefs combo
Patrick Mahomes Over 14.5 rushing yards
Jaylen Waddle Over 51.5 receiving yards
Bo Nix Over 1.5 passing TDs
Josh Inglis expects the stars to shine tonight:
"Patrick Mahomes is running, whether he likes it or not, and his rushing total is already priced into the injury. Fifteen yards is 10 yards shorter than his season average last year. He is being priced as if he is playing with a cane.
Jaylen Waddle has looked great with Bo Nix so far, and the deep ball that they might be able to unlock could cause issues for this revamped Kansas City secondary. Waddle averaged 57 yards per game with a noodle-armed quarterback in Miami last year.
At Nix's price for two TDs, it's hard to pass up vs. the aforementioned new K.C. secondary that is replacing 75% of its starters from last year and other depth pieces."
Broncos vs Chiefs touchdown combo
Kenneth Walker III
Jaylen Waddle
Kenneth Walker III arrives in Kansas City fresh off a Super Bowl MVP performance in which he rushed for 135 yards, and he should immediately command plenty of work around the goal line.
Jaylen Waddle gives Denver the explosive receiving threat it was missing. His speed creates opportunities from anywhere on the field, and pairing him with Courtland Sutton should make it much tougher for Kansas City to dedicate extra attention his way.
Both teams made significant offseason investments in these two playmakers, and I’m predicting each newcomer will make an immediate impact in his debut.
Broncos vs Chiefs milestone combo
Kenneth Walker 60+ rushing yards
Bo Nix 225+ passing yards
Bo Nix 2+ passing TDs
Kenneth Walker III should step directly into a significant workload in his Chiefs debut, and I’m backing him to turn that volume into at least 60 rushing yards.
On the other side, Bo Nix could be asked to do plenty through the air against Kansas City. Nix topped 225 passing yards nine times last season and threw multiple touchdowns in six games, giving us a reasonable path to both milestones.
I’m pairing Nix to throw for 225+ yards and 2+ touchdowns with Walker reaching 60+ yards on the ground.
