Broncos vs. Bengals Best NFL prop bets and touchdown scorer picks anytime in NFL Week 17 (bet on Bo Nix)

The AFC wild card race is heating up, and the Broncos need a win over the Bengals in Cincinnati to end concerns about missing the postseason.

Against a struggling Bengals defense, the Broncos will be hoping to get back on track after last Thursday’s loss to the Chargers. Bo Nix is ​​in a prime position to have a great afternoon through the air, as the rookie looks to be a match for Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ potent offense. What are the best goals for players in this high-leverage matchup?

Here are three gamer props!

Bo Nix OVER 230.5 passing yards

Nix has been stopped at times, especially against better defenses, but the Bengals are well below league average. Cincinnati’s passing numbers have been poor for most of the season, and the group ranks 19th in EPA/Dropback ratings and 30th in success rate allowed.

With the extra rest after playing last Thursday, I believe we will see a sound game plan from the Broncos that will keep Nix clean and able to find the weak spots in the Bengals defense.

In a game where his scoring total is above average, Nix will likely be forced to pass to keep up with the likes of Joe Burrow and the Bengals, which will result in an above-average efficiency from the rookie quarterback that will exceed that total.

Mike Gesicki Any try scorer

The Broncos have allowed the fourth-fewest targets to tight ends this season and have allowed five touchdowns, which is above average.

Denver’s defense is elite, but the group is vulnerable to tight ends, and Gesicki is the clear top playmaker in the Bengals’ passing game. With eight red zone targets, Gesicki has the most red zone targets among Cincinnati’s tight end group, and I believe he can throw at a good angle in Cincy’s elite passing game.

Chase Brown UNDER 74.5 rushing yards

Brown continued to lead the Bengals offense, but I believe we have a great opportunity to sell his recent production at a high level.

Over the past two weeks, Cincinnati has beaten the likes of the Browns and Titans, which led to inflated numbers from Brown, who ran for 91 and 97 yards, respectively. However, in what is expected to be a close game, the Bengals are more focused on passing the ball.

On the season, Brown is averaging 61.5 yards per game and will be facing a top-five defense in EPA/Rush, so I’ll rate his recent success highly.
