Browns vs. Broncos Betting Picks
It remains hard to lay points in the NFL, especially in such a low scoring environment with two solid defenses and questionable offenses. The Broncos are on a 8-2 roll against the spread in their last 10 games. Bo Nix has caught fire over his last 5 games with 11 touchdowns vs. just 1 interception, while averaging 260 passing yards. The Browns are just 3-6 against the spread in their last 9 road games and 3-9 straight up in their last 12.
Browns vs. Broncos Best Bet: Under 42.5 (FanDuel -115)
Secondary Bet: Bo Nix Over 220.5 Passing Yards (FanDuel -110)
Browns vs. Broncos Prediction
The Browns offense ranks 31st in points per game (16.9) without major improvement with Jameis Winston now at quarterback. They come in off a 24-19 home win last Thursday against the Steelers. The Broncos defense ranks 2nd in points per game allowed (16.8), so hard to see a lot of points scored in this game. I like the Broncos to win, but in a low scoring game with theBrowns getting the cover.
