The Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals meet in the manufactured jungle this afternoon with plenty of playoff implications at hand. The 7-8 Bengals are doing all they can to claw their way into postseason contention — but they’re currently 10th in the AFC if the regular season ended today. The Broncos are a surprising 9-6 behind rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who’s shown well at times this season.
Entering play, the oddsmakers at FanDuel Sportsbook have Cincinnati as three-point home favorites (-3) over Denver, with an O/U set at 50.5. It remains to be seen if the Broncos and Nix can keep pace with a very potent Bengals offense featuring Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins.
