The Denver Broncos are 5.5 point favorites as they host the Cleveland Browns in Monday Night Football Week 13 action. Oddsmakers set the total at 42 in this game that's not expected to have any weather concerns.
The Broncos are fresh off an impressive 29-19 win over the Raiders, while the Browns enter on their "mini bye" after beating the Steelers 24-19 Thursday.
Keep reading to see why I think the Broncos will get the win over the Browns.

Browns vs Broncos Picks Week 13
Broncos moneyline (-250)
I bet this at -230 in our expert pick section on Sunday night when the line came out and I'd still bet this up to -260.
Browns quarterback Jameis Winston is all over social media and there's a lot of hype surrounding him after last week's big win over Pittsburgh, but he's still a mediocre quarterback on a mediocre team. The Broncos, on the other hand, are a playoff worthy team with one of the best home field advantages in the NFL.
The Browns struggle to cover No. 1 wide receivers this year as they rank 28th in the NFL covering the position according to FTNFantasy.com. That's a welcome sight for Courtland Sutton who has at least six catches and 70 yards in each of his last six games.
The Broncos have a lot more to play for with several wanna be playoff teams nipping at their heals, while the Browns have little incentive to get a victory. Give me the more motivated team with the better roster at home.
Browns vs. Broncos Player Props
Courtland Sutton Anytime TD (+160)
The Browns have allowed 1.2 touchdowns per game to wide receivers according to our Team Defensive Report and that is tied for the fifth worst number in the NFL. According to FTNFantasy.com, Cleveland is the 28th worst team when it comes to defending No. 1 wide receivers.
Sutton has scored three touchdowns in his last three games and it's obvious to anyone watching that he's Bo Nix's favorite target. I'm expect a big game from Sutton and expecting him to find pay dirt.
Browns vs. Broncos News
Bettors will want to monitor the status of Browns tackle Jedrick Wills who missed last weeks game after logging two limited practice sessions. The fact that Wills was able to practice last week and the fact that he has an extra day to prepare for this game, makes me think he's leaning toward playing in this one.
Broncos cornerback Riley Moss suffered what looked like a serious knee injury last week, but head coach Sean Payton's comments suggest the injury is more benign. There's still a good chance Moss sits this week so monitor his practice participation closely.
