The Denver Broncos will host the Cincinnati Bengals for this Week 4 Matchup of Monday Night Football, at Empower Field at Mile High. The Broncos are 1-2 for the season, losing their last two matchups against the L.A. Chargers and a heartbreaker against the Indianapolis Colts. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals, after a red hot start to their season, had their worst game in franchise history, losing to the Minnesota Vikings, and are currently 2-1 for the season.
In this AFC West vs AFC North matchup, both teams are trying to get a win as they are looking to climb back up their division’s rankings.
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| J.K. Dobbins Anytime TD scorer | -135 | -140 |
| Jake Browning Under 32.5 Passing Attempts | -132 | -110 |
| Total TDs Over 4.5 | -150 | -145 |
For our first bet, J.K. Dobbins is a threat to score a TD anytime because he has scored in all three matches thus far for the Broncos, and his total rushing attempts is already at 41 attempts, suggesting that the Dobbins is a go-to weapon for the Broncos. Dobbins also has four receptions this season, and has been used as a running back and a receiver at times, showcasing his versatility.
For our second bet, while the Bengals have elite receivers on each side with Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase, Jake Browning has been heavily turnover prone in the last two starts he’s had, since Joe Burrow’s injury. In two games Browning has 5 interceptions and while the Broncos aren’t the best defensively, they do rank 19th in pass defense, suggesting that way too many attempts from Browning could lead to another set of turnovers this game. We expect Cincinnati to use a balance of running and the passing game, rather than Browning throwing in every single snap.
For our last bet, we believe that over 4.5 TDs is highly possible because of each team’s defensive abilities. The Broncos rank 19th in overall defense, 20th in rushing defense, and 19th in passing defense. While the Bengals rank 25th in total defense, 25th in passing defense, and 21st in rushing defense. With both teams okay or bad on the defensive end, it will put pressure on each team’s offenses to produce, possible crossing 4.5 TDs.
The Denver Broncos (1-2) host the Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) for a Week 4 clash on Monday Night Football. Bo Nix’s dual-threat ability will square up against the Bengals’ elite wideout duos with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Expect this game to be a high scoring contest, as there are elite offensive players on both the teams.
We predict the Denver Broncos to walk away with a victory and the reason being, Joe Burrow’s absence and Jake Browning’s turnover heavy start to the season. The Bengals are one of if not the worst team when it comes to protecting their QB, leading to Browning throwing risky throws more often than not. Combine their horrible defense, O-line problems, QB1’s absence, and a turnover prone backup QB, the Broncos should not have much of a problem and should win this contest.
Prediction: Broncos win 31-17
