The Denver Broncos look to avoid matching their longest losing skid in 50 years when they host the New York Jets on Sunday at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The Broncos are winless SU and ATS in eight games following last week’s 35-9 blowout loss in Miami as 1-point chalk. The Jets halted a two-game slide with last weekend’s 38-31 win over Kansas City as 4-point home underdogs.
- The total has gone OVER in three of the Jets’ last four games against the Broncos.
- The Broncos are 33-13 SU in their last 46 games in the late afternoon.
- The total has gone UNDER in six of the Jets’ last eight games after winning as an underdog.
The 3-9 Broncos continue to search for answers after another dismal offensive performance in Miami, which marks their fourth loss by at least 20 points this season. The Denver offense has now generated just 13.5 points per game during the squad’s historic slide, and 11 ppg over their past three home dates. But with opponents racking up big point totals, the OVER has gone 4-1-1 over their past six, and 5-2 this season when the total is pegged at 41 or higher.
Last week, the Jets produced their highest point total since posting a 38-20 win over Miami in November 2015, and have now racked up 33 ppg over their past three home dates. New York is also a reliable 7-2-1 ATS in its past 10 outings, but has struggled to build on SU wins as an underdog in subsequent contests, going 4-14 SU in their past 18.
Denver recorded a 31-17 win as 9.5-point chalk in its last visit to the Big Apple three years ago to improve to 4-1 SU and ATS in its past five dates with the Jets.
