Broncos vs Ravens Prediction
The current betting odds have the Broncos listed as a 9 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Broncos have looked good in their games this season with their 5-3 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AFC West but in good position to make a Wild Card spot at the moment. They have one of the best defenses in the NFL this season, not giving up many points in any of their games, and their offense has been looking a lot better over the last few weeks too. Meanwhile, the Ravens have looked good in their games this season with their 5-3 record overall which has them in position to win the AFC North with another great season. They started the season 0-2 and then won 4 games in a row, but now they are coming off another loss in their last one. They lost their last game to the Browns in a divisional scrap, but that was a really different Browns team with Jameis Winston leading the offense. The Ravens will be looking to bounce back from that loss now that they are back at home, but their defense hasn't looked that great this season. They have been giving up a ton of points all year and even in their loss to the Browns, they were the first team to allow the Browns to score 20+ this season. The Ravens have some big holes on defense right now and this improving Broncos offense will find ways to move the ball here and put points on the board. The Ravens will put some points up too, but this is going to be one of the best defenses they face all season and it will be enough to slow down this Ravens offense, not allowing them to pull away. The best way to place a bet here is on the Broncos to cover the spread in this game.
