The Kansas City Chiefs have a stronghold on the division title, but that does not mean they are the only AFC West team playing for something in Week 14.

The season is coming to an end. With only a few weeks left, the AFC West is now starting to take shape for its final standings. There are some particular headlines that are notable to watch this week, such as can the Oakland Raiders turn around their recent skid and make a run for the Wildcard?

Can the Kansas City Chiefs pull off an upset in New England and turn the AFC upside down? Also can the Denver Broncos pull an upset in Houston? I’ll explain these predictions below.

Denver Broncos at Houston Texans

First up, we have the Denver Broncos (4-8) vs the Houston Texans (8-4) in Houston. Now as much as everyone loves an upset, do not expect one here. The Broncos have not been as bad as their record indicates, their only blowout loss was to the Chiefs.

With that being said, the Texans are on the rise, especially after taking down Tom Brady and the New England Patriots this past week. Expect Deshaun Watson and the Texans to score and score often.

Prediction: Texans 38, Broncos 6
