There’s a good chance the Kansas City Chiefs’ reign as AFC West champions is coming to an end this year, and the team likely to slay the proverbial dragon is the same team that finished atop the division before Kansas City’s dominance. That club is the Denver Broncos, who could be four games ahead of the Chiefs with five to play when they visit the Washington Commanders at 8:20 PM ET on Sunday Night Football.
Denver (9-2) enters Week 13 with an eight-game winning streak and a two-game lead over the Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West, which it won in 2015 before Kansas City began its run of nine straight division titles. The Broncos, who haven’t lost since dropping a 23-20 decision in Los Angeles in Week 3, are coming off a comeback after beating the Chiefs 22-19 at home the week before.
After making a surprising run to the NFC Championship Game last season, Washington (3-8) has struggled mightily this year and is in the midst of a six-game losing streak. The Commanders, who will be without it until 2024 N.F.L Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels (elbow) on Sunday for the sixth time in 12 games this season, also was out last week after falling 16-13 in overtime to the Miami Dolphins in Spain in Week 11.
There are eight games on Sunday NBA scheduleincluding a showdown between the Memphis Grizzlies (8-12) and host Sacramento Kings (5-15) at 9:00 PM ET at the Golden 1 Center. Memphis has won four of its last five games, a surge that began Nov. 20 with a 137-96 loss to Sacramento at home.
Meanwhile, the NHL has four games scheduled, one of which has the Dallas Stars (16-5-4) hosting the Ottawa Senators (12-8-4) at the American Airlines Center at 6:00 PM ET. The Stars have earned points in five straight games (4-0-1) and 10 of their last 11 (9-1-1), with one of their wins during that span being a 3-2 overtime victory in Ottawa on Nov. 11.
There are also a slew of college basketball games on Sunday, including a matchup between San Diego (3-3) and Long Beach State (1-6) at 5:00 PM ET at the LBS Financial Credit Union Pyramid in Long Beach, Cal. Both teams are looking to avoid a third straight loss, while San Diego is looking to avenge last season’s 76-70 home loss to the Beach.
The latest consensus has the Broncos as 5.5-point favorites against the Commanders NFL Odds. The Grizzlies are 2.5-point favorites against the Kings, the Stars are -142 moneyline favorites against the Senators and San Diego is a 2.5-point favorite against Long Beach.

SportsLine Picks –Model: Commanders +5.5 (-106) | Expert: Courtland Sutton Over 47.5 receiving yards (-114)
The Broncos have been involved in many close battles this season, as only two of their eleven games have been decided by more than eight points. Their five games away from Empower Field at Mile High, including one against the New York Jets in London, were decided by a total of 13 points. Only two of Washington’s eight losses have been by less than six points, but the SportsLine Projection Model thinks the Commanders will keep it close on Sunday Night Football as they cover the spread in 55% of simulations. SportsLine prop expert PropBetGuy believes Courtland Sutton will be productive in Denver’s aerial attack as Washington has been torched by receivers everywhere this year.

SportsLine Picks –Model: Grizzlies -2.5 (-114) | Expert: Santi Aldama More than 22.5 points + assists + rebounds (-111)
Each of Memphis’ last four wins has been by more than three points, including the first two games of the current four-game road trip. The Grizzlies defeated the Kings by 41 at home less than two weeks ago, with Santi Aldama leading seven players in double figures with 29 points. Sacramento has lost 10 of its last 12 games, and nine of the losses have been by double digits. With all that in mind, the SportsLine Projection Model simulations say Memphis covers the spread 65% of the time. SportsLine NBA expert Mike Barner likes Aldama to be another key contributor against the Kings after adding five rebounds and three assists to his career-high point total in the previous meeting between these clubs.

SportsLine choice –Model: More than 5.5 (-127)
There was no shortage of goals in both teams’ last games. Two of Dallas’ last three games have seen a total of seven or more goals scored, while both of Ottawa’s last two games have seen at least six goals scored. The Stars and their opponents have combined to score more than five goals in two of the club’s last three home games, and the SportsLine projection model sees no defensive struggles on Sunday as the Over strikes in 57% of simulations.

San Diego, Long Beach State
Time: 5:00 PM | Location: Long Beach, Cal. | TV: ESPN+ | Current: Fubo (Try for free)
SportsLine choice –Model: Under 146.5 (-109)
Long Beach State has remained under 75 points in five of seven games this season. Three of those games, as well as a win in which the Beach scored a season-high 87 points, finished below the expected total for their matchup with the Toreros. Meanwhile, three of San Diego’s six games were also below the total for Sunday’s game. Neither team has scored more than 73 points in their last two outings, and the SportsLine Projection Model thinks they will both struggle to put points on the board in their meeting, as the simulations say the Under is hitting more than 57% of the time.
