Denver Broncos at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Denver Broncos at Arizona Cardinals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Denver Broncos open their preseason slate on the road Friday against the Arizona Cardinals. Kickoff from State Farm Stadium is at 10 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Broncos vs. Cardinals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Both the Broncos and Cardinals debut new coaching staffs after a bad 2022 season.

The Broncos will again go with QB Russell Wilson under center after a disastrous first season with the club but now have Sean Payton taking over as head coach and new defensive coordinator Vance Joseph joining from the Cardinals after spending 4 years in Arizona. Denver could be missing starting OL Mike McGlinchey and S Justin Simmons, both of whom were injured this week.

The Cardinals also hired a new head coach in Jonathan Gannon, who joins from the Philadelphia Eagles. His coordinators, Drew Petzing and Nick Rallis, are first-time coordinators. QB Kyler Murray (knee) and TE Zach Ertz (knee) are on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list and haven’t resumed practicing after suffering knee injuries last season.

Broncos at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 24, Broncos 20

Moneyline

There is really only one way to bet on the preseason, and it is betting the underdog on the moneyline.

Why?

Preseason games aren’t good for trends and you don’t know who will play. The games usually end up being decided by players who don’t usually make NFL final rosters.

Gannon did tell reporters this week that one of his goals for the game is to win.

BET CARDINALS (+180).

Against the spread

There isn’t a good way to handicap the spread here. Which team’s starters play longer? Which team’s back-of-the-roster players make more plays?

That is too unreliable for a spread bet.

PASS.

Over/Under

Neither of the 2 preseason games on Thursday had totals higher than 37.

Last year in the first week of the preseason, 12 of 16 games finished with totals of at least 37.

BET OVER 37 (-110).

Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Chargers (10-6) visit the Denver Broncos (4-12) Sunday in Week 18 at Empower Field at Mile High. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Chargers vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chargers cruised to a 31-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17 to cover as 6.5-point favorites at home. Los Angeles enters Week 18 on a 4-game winning streak. A loss by the Baltimore Ravens at the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday in a 1 p.m. ET kickoff could allow them to rest its starters.

The Broncos lost 27-24 at the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 but covered as 13.5-point underdogs. Denver has had a disappointing season, but the team will look to finish on a positive note Sunday.

Chargers at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Chargers 24, Broncos 20

Moneyline

I’ll take the CHARGERS (+125) to win if they play most of their starters. The issue is that if the Ravens lose to the Bengals earlier in the day — Cincy is a 9-point home favorite — then the Chargers can rest starters if they want as they’ll be locked into the AFC’s No. 5 seed.

So, it may be wise to wait until the end of the Ravens-Bengals game to wager on this one.

Against the spread

If the Chargers have something to play for, then LOS ANGELES +3 (-106) is an enticing bet. Unless you’re confident in the Chargers either winning or keeping it close, keep tabs on the status of the starters on Sunday.

The Chargers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 39.5 (-111) is another bet I like if the Chargers are running out their starters in Week 18. If Los Angeles opts to rest players because the Ravens lost, I’d side with the Under as the Chargers won’t be looking to throw as often.

The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 games for the Broncos. On top of that, the Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between the Chargers and the Broncos when the game is in Denver.

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Denver Broncos (4-11) head to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs (12-3) on New Year’s Day. Sunday’s Week 17 matchup kicks off at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Broncos vs. Chiefs odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chiefs have won 14-straight games against the Broncos dating back to 2015, holding an overall record of 70-55 over their AFC West rival. To make matters worse for Denver, its coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired after the team suffered an embarrassing 51-14 loss against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. The Broncos have lost 6 of their last 7 games.

The Chiefs are coming off a 24-10 win (covering as 10.5-point favorites) over the Seattle Seahawks, winning 3 straight games and 8 of their last 9. Despite being at the top of the AFC, the Chiefs have only covered 4 times this season, all against NFC opponents (Arizona, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa Bay).

Broncos at Chiefs picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 31, Broncos 10

Moneyline

The last time these teams faced, the Chiefs went up 27-0 before allowing the Broncos to get back into the game. Despite losing 34-28, the Broncos offense actually outscored the Chiefs offense 28-27, but a Russell Wilson pick-6 put the Chiefs over the top.

Something similar could hypothetically happen in this matchup since division rivals tend to play each other close. However, it’s clear the Broncos have run out of any steam they had after allowing the Rams to score 51 points last week. Meanwhile, the Chiefs’ defense played with a chip on its shoulder against Seattle last week and ended up having a very good game.

With Hackett out and Wilson not playing well, I think Kansas City takes advantage of Denver’s turmoil and wins this handily. However, you should AVOID the moneyline since the payout is so low.

Against the spread

The Chiefs haven’t done a good job of covering this year, but they’re fully healthy and are pushing for the No. 1 seed while Denver has its eye toward the offseason. This game is setting up to be the perfect opportunity for the Chiefs to cover and possibly blow out its rival.

LEAN CHIEFS -12 (-111).

Over/Under

The Chiefs probably won’t score 51 since they tend to take their foot off the gas once they go ahead. Don’t expect the Broncos to score much either as their offense is abysmal and the Chiefs defense may be hitting its stride.

LEAN UNDER 45 (-112).

Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Rams odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Rams odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Denver Broncos (4-10) visit the Los Angeles Rams (4-10) on  Christmas as they square off Sunday afternoon in Week 16. Kickoff from SoFi Stadium will be at 4:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Broncos vs. Rams odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Broncos have been one of the NFL’s most disappointing teams this year, ranking 32nd in points scored (218). They’ve wasted a dominant defense, which is 3rd in points allowed (253), getting very poor play out of QB Russell Wilson in his 1st season in Denver. In the last 6 games, the Broncos are just 1-5 with their only win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15.

The Rams are currently in the midst of 1 of the worst post-Super Bowl seasons ever, tying the record for the most losses by a defending champion – coincidentally with the 1999 Broncos. QB Matthew Stafford, WR Cooper Kupp and WR Allen Robinson are among the players out for the year, while DT Aaron Donald is unlikely to play due to a high ankle sprain. The result? the 31st-ranked scoring offense in football.

Broncos at Rams picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 17, Rams 13

Moneyline

This is an evenly matched game between 2 bad teams. The Broncos have the edge at QB with Wilson over the Rams’ Baker Mayfield, but just barely. Defensively, Denver is also marginally better than the Rams.

As poorly as the Broncos have been playing, they have more to work with on their current roster because Los Angeles has more injuries than any team in football. I would LEAN BRONCOS (-170) in this one.

Against the spread

The Broncos are 6-8 ATS this season compared to the Rams’ 4-8-2 ATS record. They’re only laying 3 points against arguably the worst offense in football, which is now without its starting center and another starting receiver.

I like the BRONCOS -3 (-116) to cover the spread and win by at least a field goal because it’s going to be a real challenge for the Rams to score more than 1 TD against this Denver defense.

Over/Under

Not only do the Broncos and Rams rank 32nd and 31st in points scored, but they’re also the 2 best red zone defenses in football. So if/when these teams do reach the red zone, they’ll struggle to turn those possessions into TDs. Therefore, we could get a bunch of field goals.

The Over/Under is only 36.5 points, but I still think it goes UNDER (-111) that number. Combined, the Under is 20-8 in the Rams and Broncos’ 28 games this season.

Arizona Cardinals at Denver Broncos odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Arizona Cardinals at Denver Broncos odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Arizona Cardinals (4-9) face the Denver Broncos (3-10) on the road in a Week 15 battle of backups quarterbacks. Sunday’s kickoff at Empower Field at Mile High is 4:05 p.m. (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Cardinals vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Cardinals have lost 3 games in a row and 5 of their last 6, and they lost starting QB Kyler Murray for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Their last loss was Monday 27-13 to the New England Patriots as 2-point home underdogs.

The Broncos have lost their last 5 games and will be without QB Russell Wilson. They lost 34-28 to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, but covered the 8.5-point spread as road underdogs.

Cardinals at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 19, Broncos 16

Moneyline

The Cardinals have played better on the road than they have at home with 3 of their 4 wins away from home. The Broncos are 2-4 at home this season.

The Cardinals have won 3 games that QB Colt McCoy has started in his 2 years in Arizona. The Broncos are 1-1 in games Brett Rypien has started in his 3 years in Denver.

The question will come down to whether Arizona’s offense can stay on schedule and move the ball against a strong Denver defense.

Denver’s offense is the lowest-scoring unit in the league at 14.9 points per game, while the Cardinals are last in the league, giving up 26.8 points per game.

Neither team is built to play from behind, but McCoy’s experience will be the difference in this game.

BET CARDINALS (+105).

Against the spread

The Cardinals are 6-7 ATS this season, having covered the spread twice in losses.

The Broncos are 5-8 ATS and have covered the spread in each of their last 2 games, both losses. Denver is 0-5 ATS this season when favored.

I like the Cardinals to cover, but with only a 2-point spread and positive odds on the moneyline for the outright win, you are better off betting the Cardinals on the moneyline. PASS.

Over/Under

The Over has hit only twice this season in Denver’s games while all but 1 of the Cardinals’ games this season have had at least 37 total points. However, with McCoy at QB, they have scored 23 points combined in 2 games.

The Broncos scored 28 last week against Chiefs, but have scored 16 or fewer in 7 of their last 10 games.

BET UNDER 36.5 (-106).

Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Kansas City Chiefs (9-3) will take on the Denver Broncos (3-9) Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High. This Week 14 matchup kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Chiefs vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chiefs are currently on a 13-game win streak against their AFC West rival Broncos. Denver last beat Kansas City in September 2015 with Peyton Manning as its QB.

Kansas City’s 5-game win streak was snapped in Week 13 in a 27-24 to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Chiefs’ 3rd loss to them in the calendar year. QB Patrick Mahomes had a light day by his standards with 223 yards passing and 2 TDs while TE Travis Kelce had an uncharacteristic fumble in the 4th quarter.

Denver is on a 4-game losing skid with their most recently loss coming against the Baltimore Ravens. The Broncos boast the NFL’s 2nd-best scoring defense (17 PPG), but have the league’s worst offense (13.8 PPG).

Chiefs at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 24, Broncos 9

Moneyline

One day Denver will snap its losing streak against Kansas City, but Sunday will not be that day. The Broncos have the worst offense in the league by far and are missing their top receiver in Sutton. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are coming off a frustrating loss which means they’ll want to take out their frustration on their division rival.

The bet is clearly the Chiefs, but AVOID the moneyline as the payout is not worth the risk.

Against the spread

The Chiefs have struggled to cover the spread this season (3-8-1) but many of their lines have been large and have been against much better offensive opponents. Denver has put up just 10 points in 5 of its last 8 games and has scored over 20 points in just 2 games this season.

The Chiefs boast the NFL’s best offense at 29.2 points per game. While the Chiefs’ defense has been up and down, it has fared well against average or below competition. Consider K.C. a safe bet to cover against a bad Broncos squad.

BET CHIEFS -9 (-109).

Over/Under

It’s rare to advise betting the Under and betting the favorite to cover a 9-point spread, but that’s exactly the play with this game. The Broncos are a near lock to score low, and the Chiefs have scored 27 or fewer points in 5 of their last 7 games. The Broncos boast a top-3 defense so only expect the Chiefs to run up the score enough to cover.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-113).

Broncos at Ravens picks and predictions

Prediction

Ravens 24, Broncos 13

Moneyline

The Broncos are winless on the road this season except for neutral-site win in London and have not scored more than 10 points in their last 2 road games.

The Ravens are 3-2 at home, but have won 4 of their last 5 games overall.

They have scored at least 20 points in 5 of their last 6 games, while the Broncos have reached 20 points once in their last 7 contests.

You should like the Ravens to win this game outright, but it isn’t worth the action at -410.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Ravens have only 2 double-digit wins this season.

The Broncos have only 1 double-digit loss.

The problem is the Broncos’ defensive strength is against the pass, where they rank 3rd in the league, allowing 184.7 yards per game. The Ravens have the league’s No. 2 rushing offense at 162.7 yards per game. The Broncos are 19th in rush defense, allowing 121.6 rushing yards per contest.

BET RAVENS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Only 1 of the Broncos’ 11 games this season has had the Over hit. They have not had a game reach 40 points in their last 7 contests.

The Ravens are 4-7 O/U on the season.

BET UNDER 39.5 (-106).

Broncos at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 19, Broncos 15

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (+100) at even money are a strong play in Darnold’s return to the starting lineup.

The Broncos have dropped all 4 of their true road outings this season, going 1-3 ATS. The Panthers are a respectable 3-3 SU at home this season, including victories in each of the past 2 as an underdog.

Against the spread

Playing Panthers +1.5 (-112) doesn’t make as much sense if you like them to win. Take the money line and don’t pay any juice, unless you strongly believe the Broncos are going to win by exactly one point.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 36.5 (-108) is worth playing in this AFC-NFC battle between 2 of the lowest-scoring teams in the league.

The Panthers are good for just 286.1 total yards per game to rank 31st in the NFL and post 18.8 PPG to rank 25th.

The Broncos have allowed just 17.1 PPG to rank 2nd in the NFL, while they are dead-last in the NFL with just 14.7 PPG on offense.

Raiders at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 23, Broncos 16

Moneyline

As much as the Raiders have struggled this season, it is surprising to see them as underdogs against the struggling Broncos. One of the Raiders’ 2 wins is over the Broncos, a 32-23 victory in Las Vegas in Week 4.

The Raiders have scored 20 or more in 7 of their 9 games this season.

The Broncos have reached 20 only twice this season but allow the fewest points in the league at 16.6 per game.

And as bad as the Raiders defense has been, allowing 25.1 points per game, the Broncos are only scoring 14.6 points per game, worst in the league.

BET RAIDERS (+125).

Against the spread

Both teams are 3-6 ATS on the season. All the same reasons why the Raiders would win the game outright apply to why you would take them to cover the spread. If that is the case, the best play is to stick with the moneyline because of the positive odds.

No reason to go with the spread if you like the Raiders to win.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Broncos, who already struggle to score, are missing their 3 top receivers.

While the 1st meeting of these teams this season had 55 total points, the Broncos had all their pass catchers. I don’t see them getting to 20 points and I don’t think the Raiders will have much more than 20.

BET UNDER 41.5 (-112).

Denver Broncos at Tennessee Titans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Denver Broncos at Tennessee Titans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Denver Broncos (3-5) will travel to take on the Tennessee Titans (5-3) on Sunday in Week 10 at Nissan Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Broncos vs. Titans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Broncos are coming off their bye week and they are hoping to find a rhythm on the offensive side of the ball with QB Russell Wilson. Before Denver’s bye week in Week 9, the Broncos took down the Jacksonville Jaguars 21-17 to cover as 1-point underdogs in London.

The Titans were on a 5-game winning streak before last week’s 20-17 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs where they easily covered as 14-point underdogs. Tennessee has gone back to leaning on RB Derrick Henry and the ground game to carry the offense.

Broncos at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 20, Broncos 13

Moneyline

The odds could improve in favor of Tennessee if Tannehill is active, so I’ll take the TITANS (-145) to win at home. I would only recommend taking Tennessee’s moneyline in this game if they are at -150 odds or lower.

Against the spread

Being that I have Tennessee winning by 7 at home on Sunday, TITANS -3 (-103) is where I’m leaning in this contest. Tennessee should be able to run the ball successfully with Henry and whoever is starting at quarterback won’t make any game-changing mistakes.

The Broncos are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win. Meanwhile, the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between the Broncos and the Titans.

Over/Under

UNDER 39 (-110) is a bit risky, but neither of these teams are known for scoring plenty of points. You could wait to see if the total changes if you’re confident that Tannehill plays, but I’d still take the Under if he’s active.

The Broncos have hit the Under in each of their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record. As for the Titans, they’ve gone Under in each of their last 5 games, and the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings with the Broncos.
