Broncos at Patriots: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Patriots 27, Broncos 19
Money line (?)
Getting Newton back and having CB Stephon Gilmore in the lineup should make this no problem for the Patriots. Lock’s return for the Broncos will help, but you have to go with the overwhelming favorites. Take the PATRIOTS (-455).
Against the spread (?)
Despite their 1-3 record, the Broncos are 3-1 ATS, while the Pats are 2-2. With Newton coming back after having recovered from COVID-19, he might not be completely himself. With Lock’s return and the big spread, take the BRONCOS +9 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
Both teams are 2-2 O/U this season, but Denver has gone Over in both of its road games. The total is low. Take the OVER 44.5 (-115).
