1. The Denver Broncos take on the New York Jets in a Thursday Night Football contest, ugly to
fans, but gorgeous to bettors. Denver is 0-3 SU, but 2-1 to the number, going under 2-1. The
Jets are 0-3 both SU and ATS, going over 2-1. They’ve lost all three games by double-digits. The
Jets have the second worst margin of cover in the league at -10.3 points per game. Home teams
not laying more than two-points are 74-61-2 ats if off three straight double-digit losses. That of
course favors New York. The posted total has jumped around, but if it drops to 40.5, note that
total of 40.5 or less have gone under 25-11 the last two seasons.
Brett Rypien becomes the third Bronco to start at QB this season. Denver is without Von Miller,
Jurell Casey, Courtland Sutton, Phillip Lindsay and A.J. Bouye. The Jets are minus Le’Veon Bell,
Breshard Perriman, and Denzel Mims.

to where is started as New York was a P but -117 and 41 when it opened.

cash is on the Jets. A slight edge of 51 percent of bets on the over, but a whopping 90 percent
of the cash is as well.

the road team.
Computer simulations ATS and OU: One of the top commercial simulators has Denver winning
20-19 with Broncos covering 53 percent of the time and the under at 53 percent, though that
projection is based on a total of 40. Another has the power rating of NYJ -3 and 37 with New
York covering -1 at 55.3-42.7 rate. At 41 points, 61.2 percent of simulations go under to 35.2
going over.
