Game odds for Broncos vs. Browns
The latest odds as of Friday courtesy of DraftKings:
Moneyline: Denver Broncos (-250), Cleveland Browns (+205)
Spread: Broncos -5.5 (-110)
Total: 41.5
In the preseason, Cleveland was a -3.5-point favorite for this game with a total of 43.0. A day before the Browns’ victory over the Steelers, the spread was set for Denver -7 with a total of 40.0 but because of Cleveland’s win, the books reset the line at Denver -5.5, so it’s a discount for the Broncos’ bettors.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the first quarter Under 7.5 points between the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns:
“Both Denver and Cleveland are two teams that have not got off to fast starts this year.
Denver has had five home games and there have been either 7 or 10 points scored in all five games. However, Denver has only managed 1.4 first-quarter points per game (31st) or one total touchdown over five games, in other words.
While the Browns have extra rest after a physical game with the Steelers, they haven’t fared that well on the road. Three of five road games for Cleveland hit seven or fewer points and with Jameis Winston, the Browns have scored 0, 6, 0 and 3 points with the lone touchdown coming on an 89-yard bomb from Winston to Jerry Jeudy in New Orleans with 1:52 remaining in the quarter (very unlikely 1Q score).
I like the Under 7.5 points in the first quarter between the Broncos and Browns on Monday Night Football.”
