5 Denver Broncos prop bets to make in Week 6
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9 a.m. ET.
Broncos QB Drew Lock OVER 216.5 passing yards (-115)
The Broncos open up this game as 8-point underdogs in New England. Oddsmakers are assuming this game could get out of hand early and that could lead to a ton of passing attempts for second-year QB Lock. There is some risk here as Lock has thrown for more than 216 yards only once in his career, but this game sets up as a pass-heavy game-script given the opponent.
Broncos RB Philip Lindsay OVER 48.5 rushing yards (-115)
With starting RB Melvin Gordon out of the lineup this week, it’s Lindsay who will receive the bulk of the work on the ground. Lindsay’s slashing style of running fits well against the Patriots and the sheer volume of carries he could get in this game make this a worthwhile bet.

Broncos QB Drew Lock and Patriots QB Cam Newton to both have 1+ passing touchdown (-182)
If you are searching for a “safer” bet in this contest between the Broncos and Patriots, consider wagering on both quarterbacks to throw at least one touchdown. Both defenses aren’t as great as we are accustomed to seeing and with both teams being off for so long, we could see some fireworks Sunday. Expect both Lock and Newton to reach the end zone multiple times in Week 6.
Broncos WR Tim Patrick UNDER 20.5 yards for longest reception (-121)
One area in which the Patriots defense usually excels is by not allowing big plays in the passing game. You can run against them and complete a high percentage of underneath throws, but rarely do they allow chunk plays in the passing game. That is why Patrick is a good bet to have his longest reception fall shy of 20.5 yards in this one. He likely won’t see a ton of action in this contest and a 21-yard reception feels unlikely.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy to score 2 or more touchdowns (+2000)
The only way Denver will be able to stay in this game is if it can score touchdowns in the red zone. The Broncos can’t afford to kick field goals, especially not when playing in New England. Jeudy is a 20-1 underdog to score multiple touchdowns in this game, but we know just how talented of a player he has already proven to be in the NFL. It feels unlikely, but expect Lock to target Jeudy early and often in this game.
