The New York Jets (4-2) and the Denver Broncos (2-4) meet Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below we analyze the lines of Tipico Sportsbook around the Jets vs. Broncos oddsand make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The big news is that the Broncos announced on Saturday that QB Russell Wilson won’t play due to persistent hamstring injury and save Brett Rypien will start. The decision moved the line from Denver -1.5 to Denver +1.5.
The Broncos suffered their 2nd straight overtime loss last week and 3rd straight loss overall, dropping 19-16 as 3.5-point underdogs on the road to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday. Denver has scored 16 or fewer points in 5 of 6 games, and it’s no surprise the under bets are also 5-1 in their 6 games overall.
The Jets have won 3 in a row after beating Green Bay 27-10 at Lambeau Field last weekend. New York is one win away from matching its win total from last season, and its 3 road wins in 3 tries are more than the last two seasons combined (2-14).

Broncos Jet Picks and Predictions
Prediction
Jets 22, Broncos 13
Moneyline
I liked the Jets here before Wilson’s announcement, but they were underdogs then. Now they are slightly -125 favorites.
PASS and hammer the spread below.
Against the spread
NET YORK -1.5 (-115) is the game.
The Jets are the better team even though Wilson was playing for the Broncos. New York played solid football on both sides of the ball.
Denver was terrific defensively, but the offense seemed inconsistent at best. With Rypien at the start, don’t expect the offense to be any better.
More less
Under 37.5 (-115) is the slight lean here, but my preference would be to PASS absolutely.
Denver’s defense has been outstanding and under is 5-1 in its 6 games. While under bets are 5-1, it’s on totals of 42 or more. It’s the lowest total of the season for the Broncos, and it could be too low.
