New York Jets vs Denver Broncos Odds

• Opening moneyline: Broncos -135/Jets +115
• Opening total: Over/Under 41 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Denver opened -2.5 (-115) at BetMGM and slipped to -1.5 Monday. On Thursday, the Broncos went to -2 and -2.5, where the number sits now. Short underdog New York is actually attracting 62% of early spread tickets/61% of early spread money.

Further, on the moneyline, the Jets are netting 81% of tickets/68% of money. New York is currently +115 to Denver's -140 price at BetMGM.

The total rushed from a 40 opener to 43.5 by Monday afternoon, with multiple stops along the way. It backed up to 43 Tuesday, then returned to 43.5 Thursday. Tickets and money are approaching 3/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New York (1-3 SU/2-2 ATS) proved a surprisingly strong challenger to defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City in the Week 4 Sunday nighter. The Jets fell into a 17-0 first-quarter hole, but rallied to tie the game at 20 early in the third quarter.

Ultimately, Zach Wilson and Co. fell 23-20, but covered catching 7.5 points at home.

Denver gave up a whopping 70 points at Miami in Week 3, then seemed determined to extend the embarrassment in Week 4 at Chicago. The Broncos dug themselves into a 28-3 third-quarter hole.

But Denver (1-3 SU/0-3-1 ATS) scored the final 24 points to claim a 31-28 victory, pushing as a 3-point favorite.

The SuperBook took Jets-Broncos off its NFL Week 5 odds board before the Chiefs-Jets game kicked off. Jets-Broncos will go back up Monday morning.

Jets vs Broncos Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

What happens when a stoppable force meets a movable object?

The Broncos couldn't stop a nose bleed the past couple weeks, but Denver's defense is talented and we know life gets a lot easier against Zach Wilson. If the Jets are going to hang, they'll hang the way they always do — by grinding it out with defense.

Unders with a total below 44 are 10-5 (67%) when Zach Wilson starts, and Jets games have finished under 45 points in 18 of 21 games (86%) since the start of last season.

This total has risen sharply since reopening at 40 on Sunday night, and I'm fading the line move, particularly since 40, 41 and 43 are all key numbers for totals. I'm not buying the Zach Wilson hype after Sunday night. This feels like a slow-paced, ugly, grind-it-out affair.

Pick: Under 43.5 (-110)
