Browns vs. Broncos Picks, Predictions, and Best Player Prop Bets
Since Week 2, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been a revelation, throwing 16 touchdown passes against just two interceptions. His connection with wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been the cornerstone of Denver’s offense. Sutton, with five touchdowns this season—three in his last three games—has emerged as Nix’s go-to target. Last week against the Raiders, Sutton found the end zone twice, proving his reliability in crucial moments.
This week, Sutton faces a Browns defense vulnerable to wide receivers, allowing more than one touchdown per game to the position since Week 4. The Browns’ defense shows flashes of dominance, ranking fifth in success rate and ninth in EPA with a lead, but they’ve struggled in negative game scripts, where they’re forced to play from behind.
Denver’s offensive line has quietly been a key to Nix’s success. Ranked second in pass-blocking grade by PFF and sixth in pressure per dropback allowed, the line has given Nix the time to thrive both in the pocket and on the move. Denver ranks 10th in scramble EPA, highlighting Nix’s ability to extend plays and contribute to the run game when needed.
On Monday night, it’s not just a test of skill but a battle of resilience. The Broncos, buoyed by a surging offense and stellar protection, meet a Browns defense capable of brilliance but burdened by circumstance. In a game of margins, the stage is set for a defining chapter in Denver’s playoff push.
Cortland Sutton – WR, Broncos – Over 5.5 Receptions Prop Bet (+110)
After a season marked by early inconsistencies, Courtland Sutton has emerged as a steady force for the Broncos. Over the past five weeks, his production has soared—averaging nearly ten targets per game and surpassing six receptions in each contest. The chemistry between Sutton and rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been undeniable, a rhythm that has brought life to Denver’s offense. For Sutton, five catches feels more like a formality than a challenge. In this current stretch, where trust and timing define his every route, it’s clear that Sutton has found his groove. For Nix, the connection is simple: when in doubt, find Sutton. Together, they’ve become the heartbeat of a resurgent Broncos passing attack—one play at a time.

Jerry Jeudy – WR, Browns – Over 59.5 Receiving Yards Prop Bet (-115)
Revenge is a powerful motivator, and for Jerry Jeudy, it’s personal. Once the face of promise in Denver, the former first-round pick now returns in Browns colors, carrying the weight of expectations and a point to prove. With Jameis Winston under center, Jeudy has found his stride, averaging six catches and nearly 95 yards per game—a connection built on trust and opportunity. Denver’s defense has been formidable of late, a unit that thrives on disrupting rhythm, but with Winston’s relentless gunslinger mentality, Jeudy will get his chances. Sixty yards is the benchmark, and given the stakes, don’t be surprised if he surpasses it early. If he is fueled by the fire, only a return to familiar turf can ignite.
Since Week 8, Browns WR Jerry Jeudy is fifth in receiving yards per game (94.8).
