Will the Broncos get back on track?
Misery meets misery in our Monday Night Game and our Broncos vs. Bengals tip. After all, there is already a bit of panic in Denver following their 1-2 start, and with Burrow’s injury, there is nothing left for the Bengals but despair.
Without Burrow, the Bengals promptly went down 10-48 in Minnesota on the last matchday, and they are unlikely to be competitive in Denver either. This is good news for the Broncos, who should be able to get back on track.
They should not miss this opportunity against the Bengals, who are weakened by substitutions. After all, they have scored 68:64 points so far, while the Bengals are weaker both offensively and defensively with 58:91.
That makes our prediction for Broncos vs. Bengals easy: Denver will win it in their own stadium and they will have already sealed the deal by halftime. We therefore expect a start-to-finish victory.
Kick-off for the AFC duel is at 2:15 a.m. on Tuesday night in Denver, at Empower Field at Mile High, the highest stadium in the league.
Denver Broncos – Cincinnati Bengals Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
The only real point in Cincinnati’s favor on Monday night is the head-to-head comparison of recent years. The two teams have met only twice in the past five years, and the Bengals have been victorious both times.
But both times with Joe Burrow, who is now out for Monday. With Jake Browning, they are likely to lack the offensive weapons to put the Broncos in trouble.
We expect this to be a one-sided game, which makes the betting odds for Broncos vs. Bengals playable with a slightly higher Broncos handicap (up to 9.5 points). However, it is impossible to predict whether it will be a low or high-scoring game.
Denver Broncos – Cincinnati Bengals Tip
Without Burrow – no chance. That’s how simple we can keep the headline for this matchup. Because even though Browning has shown promise on several occasions, he has also thrown five interceptions in his two appearances so far this season.
That won’t be enough against a Broncos defense that is normally one of the better ones. That makes our number one tip for Denver vs. Cincinnati a halftime Broncos / final result Broncos bet.
Our player bet for this game is a tip on a touchdown by Courtland Sutton. The Broncos will have several red zone visits against the weak Bengals defense, and Sutton should finish at least one of them with a touchdown.
