The Denver Broncos (3-4) will travel to the East Coast to take on the Atlanta Falcons (2-6) Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. E.T. With a win, Denver would be right back in the thick of things in the AFC West division and for a potential AFC wild-card spot. To prepare you for that game, here are five Broncos team and player prop bets to consider for Week 9.
Denver Broncos Week 9 prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:10 a.m. ET.
Broncos OVER 21.5 points (-139)
The Broncos offense has been hit or miss this season as they are averaging only 21.0 points per game. They should get back on track in Week 9 as they will take on a Falcons’ defense that has allowed 28.0 points per game. Expect Denver to score at least three touchdowns and go over 21.5 points.
Broncos RB Melvin Gordon OVER 43.5 rushing yards (-112)
It’s been an up-and-down season for Gordon, but look for him to have a big game in Week 9 against Atlanta. While the Falcons have been good stopping the run this year, teams just haven’t tried all that often given how sloppy their pass defense has been. Look for Gordon to see around 12 carries and easily exceed the 43.5 rushing yard total set for him.

Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy OVER 47.5 receiving yards (-115)
Atlanta’s defense is allowing 311.4 passing yards per game this season and that is good news for Denver’s inconsistent pass offense. It’s also good news for Jeudy, who saw 10 targets last week against the Los Angeles Chargers. Against one of the league’s worst secondaries, look for Jeudy to see a similar workload this week and smash the Over on receiving yards.
Broncos QB Drew Lock’s longest completion OVER 37.5 yards
As previously mentioned, the Falcons have the second-worst passing defense in the NFL. They allow big play after big play as their young secondary is still catching up to the speed of the NFL. Look for Lock to take multiple shots down the field in this game and complete at least one pass beyond 38 yards.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy to score 2 or more touchdowns (+1200)
Jeudy has caught just one touchdown and has yet to go over 75 yards in any single game; however, Week 9 sets up as a potential breakout game for the rookie considering the matchups he will have on the outside. At +1200, Jeudy is a good bet to get into the end zone at least once and should have multiple scoring opportunities in this one. Don’t be surprised if this prop hits as this is a prime matchup for him.
