Broncos vs. Best NFL Prop Bets and All-Time Scorer Picks for Bengals NFL Week 17 (Betting on Bo Nix)

Broncos vs. Best NFL Prop Bets and All-Time Scorer Picks for Bengals NFL Week 17 (Betting on Bo Nix)

The AFC Wild Card race is heating up, and the Broncos need to win against the Bengals in Cincinnati to alleviate concerns of missing the postseason.

Against a struggling Bengals defense, the Broncos will hope to get back on track after last Thursday’s loss to the Chargers. Pairing with rookie Joe Burrow and the potent Bengals offense, Bo Nix is ​​in great position to weather a great afternoon. What are the best player support targets for this high-leverage matchup?

Here we are with triple player equipment below!

Bo Nix More than 230.5 Passing Distance

Nix has been contained at times, especially against better defenses, but the Bengals are well below league average. Cincinnati’s pass rush has been poor for much of this season, and the group ranks 19th in EPA/Dropback and 30th in pass rate allowed.

With the extra rest after playing last Thursday, I believe we will see a solid game plan from the Broncos that can keep Nix clean and find the weak spots in the Bengals defense.

In a game with an above-average total, Nix will likely have to pass the ball to keep up with Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense, which will lead to an above-average performance from the rookie quarterback and put him above that total.

Mike Gesicki The Player Who Always Goalscorer

The Broncos have allowed the fourth-most touchdowns to tight ends this season, allowing five touchdown passes, a mark above average.

Denver’s defense is elite, but the group leaves itself vulnerable to tight end production, and Gesicki is by far the top tight end in the Bengals’ passing game. With eight red zone targets, Gesicki has the most red zone targets among Cincinnati’s tight end group, and I believe he can jump in at a useful angle for Cincy’s elite passing game.

Chase Brown UNDER 74.5 Rushing Yards

Brown has continued to lead the Bengals offense, but I believe we have a great opportunity to sell big with his recent production.

Cincinnati has outscored teams like the Browns and Titans over the past two weeks, leading to inflated numbers for Brown, who rushed for 91 and 97 yards, respectively. However, in the expected tight matchup, the Bengals focused more on passing the ball.

Brown is averaging 61.5 yards per play on the season and will be a top-five defensive back in terms of EPA/Rush, so I’ll like his recent success a lot.
