The Denver Broncos got their first win of the season in Week 3, upsetting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as touchdown underdogs. They now head to East Rutherford set as significant underdogs once again when they take on the New York Jets.

The Jets have begun to live up to expectations the past few weeks, most recently dominating the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football last week.

Broncos vs. Jets Key Players to Watch

Denver Broncos

Tyler Badie: The Broncos' run game failed to get going the first two weeks. Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin are both averaging just 2.2 yards per carry. In comes Tyler Badie in Week 3 against the Buccaneers. He ripped off 70 yards on nine carries and is now averaging 8.6 yards per rush. The Broncos would be smart to get him involved in this game more as the season progresses.

New York Jets

Breece Hall: The Jets' running back has been an unbelievable receiver out of the backfield, but to be a more complete team New York needs to get its run game going. He's averaging only 3.7 yards per carry so far this season. Unless he wants Braelon Allen to take over primary running responsibilities, Hall needs to get things going.

Broncos vs. Jets Prediction and Pick

I broke down in this week's edition of the "Road to 272 Bets" why I'm taking the points with the Broncos in this one:

The Broncos may end up being the team I believe in all season no matter how often they lost and their Week 3 win against the Buccaneers has only emboldened me.

My faith in them comes down to their defense, which ranks second in the NFL right now in opponent yards per play, giving up only 4.5 yards per snap. They're also third in opponent yards per pass attempt allowing just 5.1 yards per throw, which will be huge going against an Aaron Rodgers-led offense. Add in a pass rush that has recorded a sack on 12.36% of opponent dropbacks and we have a recipe for a close game between these two AFC squads.

I think a touchdown spread is a bit too aggressive in this one. I'll take the points.

Pick: Broncos +7 (-105)
