If the Denver Broncos hadn’t gotten a dominating road victory last weekend, this matchup with the New York Jets may have been a revenge game for QB Zach Wilson! Alas, he’s still third on the depth chart, but don’t worry - we’ve still broken down the matchup to share our best Broncos vs. Jets predictions.

Broncos vs. Jets Predictions for NFL Week 4, Sunday 9/29

As fun as it would be to upsell a Wilson bowl, we’ve still got plenty of aspects to this matchup to break down. In fact, it still primarily revolved around the QB position, as Broncos rookie Bo Nix seemed to take a step forward last Sunday.

After a terrific preseason, the 0-2 start to the regular season looked rough, but then scoring 26 points on the road in Tampa Bay notched him his first win. On the complete other end of the spectrum is season veteran QB Aaron Rodgers, who finally at least came close to lighting up the stat sheet with 281 passing yards and two touchdown passes against the New England Patriots.

He and the Jets will also have the rest advantage after playing on Thursday Night Football, which is certainly something to keep in mind for Broncos vs. Jets predictions.
 

 

 

Denver Broncos: Building On Bo Nix’s Development

Nix began his NFL career with back-to-back games throwing a pair of interceptions. However, those games came against the defenses of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks, which have now proven themselves to be among the best in several categories.

Now, time will tell if that is because Nix helped pad those numbers or if they’re truly elite, but either way, Nix bounced back last Sunday by avoiding those interceptions while throwing 36 passes. It was still the Denver defense that truly carried them to a victory, but Nix is certainly coming around. 
 

 

 

New York Jets: Flying High On Back-To-Back Wins

All eyes were on the Jets as they flew across the country to open the Monday Night Football schedule against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1, which was a tough 32-19 loss. Given that they were among the favorites in the NFC, it wasn’t much to hang their heads on, and they proved that wasn’t the case.

New York did so by going to Nashville and beating the Tennessee Titans followed by the aforementioned TNF win over the Patriots on a short week. They’ll be at home once again for this matchup with extra rest ahead of facing a 3-0 (for now) Minnesota Vikings team, so getting to 3-1 against Denver would be a huge boost for them.

Just like they were prior to the season, oddsmakers are still high on New York, which you can see in the latest Broncos vs. Jets odds at FanDuel Sportsbook below:

 

 

Broncos vs. Jets Predictions: First Half Under 19.5 Points (-110 at FanDuel Sportsbook)

As you can see, the total for this matchup is one of the lowest on the board and rightfully so. We aren’t completely avoiding it with our Broncos vs. Jets predictions, but we’re going to isolate the first half.

We’re worried about Denver trailing late, Nix forcing a ball downfield or the like to try and make a big play to catch up, leading to a turnover and a backdoor over with the Jets cashing in. Of course, that’s quite a specific example, but regardless, late-game antics are not something we’d prefer to ruin a play.

We also loved what we saw from the Jets defense on Thursday night. The secondary has always been solid, but the run defense has been looking rough. Well, as fantasy football managers will tell you, Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was stymied to the tune of 0.3 fantasy points thanks to six carries for 23 yards.

Each of New York’s last two games have stayed under this total in the first half as well. As for Denver, their defense has been elite the past two weeks, even with one of them being a loss. They allowed just 13 points to the Steelers and seven points to the Buccaneers. With two teams predicated on defense, we’re locking in the best bet from our Broncos vs. Jets predictions on under 19.5 first half points (-110 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
