Two of the NFL’s six 0-3 teams meet for Thursday Night Football when the Denver Broncos visit the New York Jets. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Here are five Broncos team and player prop bets to consider for Week 4.
5 Denver Broncos prop bets to make for Week 4
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at noon ET.
First-half total UNDER 20.5 points (-134)
Scoring is up across the league and Overs have been cashing on the totals, but these two injury-addled teams haven’t received the memo.
At a measly 12.3 points per game, the Jets are the league’s lowest-scoring team. The Broncos are close behind at No. 30, averaging 15 points per outing, and are already starting their third quarterback of the season in undrafted second-year player Brett Rypien on a short week in a primetime road game.
Both Denver and New York fell behind early a week ago due to costly first-quarter miscues – a blocked punt for the Broncos and a pick-six for the Jets – so look for both offenses to play it real close to the vest early to try and avoid falling into an early hole.
Broncos RB Melvin Gordon OVER 18.5 rushing attempts (+100)
With a new quarterback on the road and Broncos QBs having absorbed 13 sacks and 29 QB hits over the previous two games, look for a run-heavy game script from the Broncos Thursday night.
This would mean a big dose of Gordon with Denver’s other top back, Phillip Lindsay, listed as doubtful and expected to miss his third straight contest due to a foot injury.

Bradley Chubb UNDER 4.5 combined tackles/assists (-143)
Chubb is off to a slow start as he recovers from an ACL tear suffered a year ago in Week 4 of the 2019 season.
He has totaled only six solo tackles with no assists so far in three games, and we’ll roll with the odds and bank on another quiet outing here.
Neither team will score 3 unanswered times: TDs, field goals, safeties only (+175)
In this long-standing prop, the smart money is typically on the “Yes,” and it’s priced as such at -250.
If we’re truly banking on a tight, low-scoring game, this is the place to take a shot on the “No.”
Neither team to score 20 points in the game (+300)
We complete the low-scoring prop trilogy here by taking a plus-value run at “None of the above.”
Only three of the league’s 36 games played so far have ended with both teams failing to put up 20 points, but one of them was the Broncos’ 16-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. The Jets, meanwhile, have yet to score 20 points in any of their three contests.
Given the early-season evidence, going with the “No” is a reasonable plus-value prop gamble here.
