Denver Broncos vs. NY Jets prediction: Odds, expert picks, player news, injury updates, trends, and stats

This is a battle between two teams looking to build on strong and fair to say, dominant wins last weekend.

We are still waiting on Bo Nix’s first touchdown pass as an NFL quarterback, but Nix and the Broncos outgained the Bucs 352-223 and rolled to a 26-7 win in Tampa.

Jets’ fans got a look at vintage Aaron Rodgers last week in a 24-3 victory over the Patriots. The all-time great got 8 different receivers involved and threw for 281 yards and 2 TDs and even ran for 18 yards.

Critics will claim the Buccaneers were banged up and the Patriots are just a bad team, but at the end of the season they add up the wins and not the reasons why.

The Denver defense is aggressive, forces turnovers, and is a certain step up in competition for Rogers and the Jets’ offense. On the other side of the ball, the New York defense is healthier and will pressure Nix far more than a banged-up Tampa team did last week.

Lets dive into this matchup and find a few sweats.

Game odds for Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets

The latest odds as of Thursday courtesy of DraftKings:

• Moneyline: Denver Broncos (+340), New York Jets (-440)
• Spread: Jets -7.5
• Total: 39.5

This line opened New York -8 and has fluctuated some but never dropped below the Jets -7. It’s a big number considering the Total is under 40, but that probably speaks to the inability of Bo Nix to generate touchdowns for Denver.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets

Brad Thomas (@MrBrad Thomas) likes the Jets but as part of a teaser:
“There’s no way that I’m going to be pro-Broncos after a massive road victory in Tampa last week. I like the Jets. I think they’re a better teaser leg than playing them at -7.5.”
