My Broncos vs. Chiefs predictions and NFL picks for Christmas Day believe we'll see the defenses dictate things on Thursday Night Football.

That said, there's still a good chance for Isiah Pacheco to shine in this spot, as my Broncos vs Chiefs same-game parlay picks for December 25 explain.

Our best Broncos vs Chiefs SGP for Week 17

Chris Oladokun was serviceable in relief for the Kansas City Chiefs during Week 16's loss to the Titans, but this is a significant jump up in competition against a Denver Broncos defense that should also be motivated to respond after an uncharacteristically poor performance vs. the Jaguars.

I expect running back Isiah Pacheco to be heavily involved in the Chiefs' offense on Thursday night with an inexperienced quarterback at the helm.

Pacheco is coming off a game where he had 75 total rushing and receiving yards. What really stood out in the performance was a season-high six catches off seven targets.

This is a tough spot for the K.C. offense, so look for Andy Reid & Co. to keep it simple with a lot of runs and short passes on early downs. Pacheco will be the sure-handed back this team trusts during trips to the goal-line, too.
