Bengals at Broncos: Odds, expert picks, analysis, predictions for NFL Week 11

The Bengals and Broncos have stumbled there way to 3-6 records. Both teams have looked down right bad for the past two weeks, and it’s reflected in the way the experts picked the game, and how the oddsmakers placed the lines. The Broncos seems to be the favorite this week, but that just seems to be because they’re the home team. Maybe if they had someone aside from Brock Osweiler throwing the ball they’d be a more solid favorite, but at this point, it seems like this game could go either way.

So what do the oddsmakers and NFL experts expect to be the outcome of this showdown between teams with a 3-6 record? Let’s take a look.

Odds

The Bengals are currently 2.5-point underdog against the Broncos, according to Odds Shark. The line hasn’t moved since it opened. The Broncos are coming off two straight poundings, but the Bengals have looked lost for four weeks. Considering the home team usually starts as a three-point favorite, it is telling that the odds makers made the line 2.5 giving a slight edge to the Bengals.

The line for total score is set at 39. Both of these teams have struggled on offense. That is putting it kindly. The Broncos have put up 39 points in their past two games, but most of that came during garbage time. The Bengals struggled their way to 27 points combined in their past two games. Both of these defenses are also very talented, but the Broncos have allowed 92 points in two weeks. That said, the Bengals don’t have the fire power of the Patriots or Eagles, who have been the Broncos’ last two opponents.
