Why Bet on the Denver Broncos?

In their first game of the season, the Broncos did not spare any time and secured their first victory against the Giants. It was a close game until the end of the first half. Denver started to pull away in the second half to score 27-13 win. The Broncos outgained the Giants by almost 100 total yards and 105 rushing yards. Teddy Bridgewater orchestrated the attacks as he finished the game with 264 yards on 28-o- 36 passing, including a pair of touchdowns.

They dominated the rushing game as Melvin Gordon recorded 101 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries. He is followed by Javonte Williams who had 45 rushing yards on 14 carries. On the receiving end, Jerry Jeudy led the unit with 72 yards on 6 receptions, while Tim Patrick and Albert Okwuegbunam combined for 55 yards and one touchdown apiece.

Defensively, Denver showcased a robust lineup with Ronald Darby, Justin Simmons, and Kyle Fuller ending their night with 6 solo tackles each. Von Miller had 3 solo tackles to his name and 2 sacks. All in all, it was a solid night for both sides.

Why Bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers?

The Jaguars’ first week did not go as well as planned after losing their opening game against the Texans 37-21. They trailed the entire way and failed to match their opponents’ pace. By the end of the game, Jacksonville finished with 395 total yards–54 yards less than the Texans. They also trailed in rushing yards 76 to 160.

In their losing efforts, quarterback Trevor Lawrence recorded 332 yards on 28-of-51 passing, including 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. The 21-year-old rookie did all the heavy lifting for the Jaguars. Meanwhile, the receiving end was topped by D.J. Chark, who had 86 yards on 3 receptions and a touchdown. Marvin Jones and Chris Manhertz managed to score a touchdown as well and combined for 99 yards.

On defense, Myles Jack finished with a team-high 9 tackles (6 solo), followed by Rayshawn Jenkins who had 6 solo tackles. Malcolm Brown and Andrew Wingard combined for 12 tackles, and John Allen documented the only sack on top of 5 tackles (3 solo). Ultimately, if they want to hold the Broncos, their defense needs to step up.

Broncos vs. Jaguars Expert Betting Predictions

The Jaguars failed to gain some traction in their first game of the season, but this time around, they hold home-field advantage. Although they start as underdogs, there’s a good chance that the team covers the spread while keeping their winning chances alive. However, if the Broncos dictate the game early on, they might find themselves in trouble. With momentum on their side, Denver enters the game as favorites.
