EXPLAINED: Broncos are underdogs vs bengals in week 17 - The Real Truth

Coming off a 34-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Denver Broncos are considered 3-point underdogs against the Cincinnati Bengals going into Week 17, according to BetMGM. The over/under for total points scored between the two teams has been set at 48.0.

The Bengals (7-8) are coming off a 24-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cincinnati’s playoff hopes are now alive going into their crucial home game against Denver on Saturday afternoon.

The Broncos (9-6) and Bengals are competing for a Wild Card seed in the AFC. The winner of Saturday’s showdown will have a head-to-head advantage, but Denver only needs one win to clinch a playoff spot. Cincinnati would need to win out and have the Broncos lose out.

Denver leads the all-time series against the Bengals 22-11, but Cincinnati won the most recent meeting 15-10 at home in 2021. The Broncos are currently the seventh and final playoff seed in the AFC.

Saturday’s game will be televised on NFL Network at 2:30 p.m. MT.
