The Denver Broncos, who hold a 1.5-game lead for the final AFC playoff berth after Sunday’s Week 13 action, look to enhance their postseason chances Monday night when they host the Cleveland Browns at Mile High (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN).
This was supposed to be a rebuilding season for Denver (7-5), which was burned every which way thanks to its ill-fated trade for QB Russell Wilson before the 2022 season. But the team has made great strides behind rookie QB Bo Nix, who has 16 TD throws and two INTs since Week 3.
Cleveland (3-8), meanwhile, has had its moments this season, including upset victories against Pittsburgh last Thursday and Baltimore in Week 8, but otherwise has been a disappointment — even before starting QB Deshaun Watson was lost for the season in Week 7 with an Achilles injury. Now it’s QB Jameis Winston’s turn, who is 2-2 as a starter in Cleveland.
Weather-wise, the forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-40, little wind and clear skies tonight in Denver.
Browns vs. Broncos odds: Spread, total, moneyline for MNF
Denver opened as a 5.5-point choice last Sunday night in Las Vegas but moved to -6 at most NFL betting sites, with some -6.5s showing up on odds boards, too. The over/under number has ranged from 41.5-42.5 points.
