Why bet on Cleveland versus Denver?

Cleveland has lost two straight, yes, but look who they lost to? On Oct. 10, the Browns couldn’t hold a lead versus the Los Angeles Chargers. This past Sunday, Cleveland fell to the only undefeated team left in the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals. The Cards and Bolts are much better than the Denver Broncos. Facing a team on a serious downturn, the Browns should go back to their winning ways.

Denver Broncos versus Cleveland Browns Final Betting Prediction

The spread overvalues the Denver Broncos. That could be because the Broncos are 11-3 against the spread in their last 14 Thursday night games.

Anybody who has witnessed Denver play the past three weeks, though, knows the current Broncos’ squad is much different than the one that started the season 3-0. Denver’s defense remains one of the better units in the AFC.

But it allowed 23 points in a loss to Baltimore, 27 in a loss against the Steelers, and 34 in the disappointing performance versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

There’s no sugar-coating how badly Cleveland played in NFL Week 6. But the Browns are simply a better team than  the Denver Broncos. 

But the Browns are a mess. Baker is out. Kareem Hunt is out indefinitely. Nick Chubb is out. 

Because Cleveland’s top skill players are out, Denver is the play to not only cover, but to also win this straight up. We’re going Broncos moneyline. 

NFL Week 7 Pick: Denver Broncos moneyline.
