Cincinnati Bengals vs Denver Broncos Prediction
I’m not excited to lay a touchdown with a Broncos team that’s been shaky on both sides of the ball through 3 games, but I have no choice. The Bengals are still a mess defensively like they were last season, they can’t run the ball, and Browning has looked overwhelmed up to this point. We know what the Broncos are capable of defensively, and they should be able to frustrate this Bengals’ offense similar to what the Vikings did last week. The Broncos have covered 9 of their last 12 games as a favorite. I just don’t like the Bengals on either side of the ball. Give me the Broncos in an ugly double-digit victory.
