The Jets are last in the AFC East with an 0-5 record after a 37-22 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Angles that matter — NFL picks for Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets backed by recent form.
Broncos Looking to Take Control of Division
The Denver Broncos are coming off a 21-17 road win in Week 5 over the defending champs Philadelphia Eagles. Quarterback Bo Nix played well in the game as he completed 24-of-39 passes for 242 yards with one passing touchdown while also adding three rushes for 22 yards (7.3 yards per attempt). The team scored 21 points on 358 total yards (228 passing, 130 rushing). Even though there were a lot of positives, the biggest flaw was the fact that Denver committed 12 penalties for 121 yards.
The defense of the Broncos allowed the Philadelphia Eagles to record 17 points on 302 total yards (257 passing, 45 rushing). The defense dominated as they held Philly to 16 total first downs and 2-for-11 on third downs in the game. Denver also completely took Saquon Barkley out of the game, even if you make the argument for the offensive coordinator doing that, with just six rushes for 30 yards. The defense would not be on the field long as the Eagles had possession for 25:43.
The Denver Broncos have been a middling offensive team to begin the season as they rank 18th in the NFL with 23.4 points per game. However, they are getting great performances out of quarterback Bo Nix in his sophomore season as he has completed 114-of-176 (64.8%) of his passes for 1,103 yards with eight passing touchdowns to four interceptions. Their defense is one of the best in the sport as they rank second with just 16.8 opposing points per game.

Jets Still Looking for First Win
The New York Jets lost at home 37-22 in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The offense was able to score 22 points on 378 total yards (234 passing, 144 rushing) in the game. Quarterback Justin Fields completed 32-of-46 passes for 283 yards with a pair of passing touchdowns as well as seven carries for 26 yards (3.7 yards per attempt). One major cause for excitement was the fact that they were able to run for 6.5 yards per carry in the game. However, the penalties continue to be an issue, having 10 for 61 yards and Fields was sacked five times. Breece Hall rushed for 113 yards, but also fumbled the ball deep in Cowboys' territory.
The defense of the Jets allowed 37 points on 416 total yards (236 passing, 180 rushing). Dallas had a makeshift offensive line and was still able to average an incredible 7.1 yards per play against New York on the day. The Jets have now failed to record a single takeaway in their first five games of the season, so they need to figure out how to get some momentum rolling their way.
The Jets are putting up a middling 22.4 points per game this season, which places them 19th in the sport. They have been leaning on Fields’ ability to be a calming presence in the passing game as he has completed 71-of-106 (67.0%) of his passes for 754 yards with four passing touchdowns without an interception. The defense needs to show some life as they are the second-worst defense in the league, with 31.4 points per game allowed.

Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets Pick
Spread Pick for Broncos vs. Jets
- Denver Broncos -6.5 (5 units)
This game opened at 7.5 points, but the hook has swung our way to allow us to be in a better position and have the key number of seven. Denver has the advantage in the coaching position with Sean Payton over Aaron Glenn, and that should play a major role. The New York Jets have a formula where they have struggled early and then played well in the second half to get the final score looking respectable. They also lead the league in fumbles per game, so they always seem to find a way to stop their own drives. Now, they are facing a very good defense that will attempt to force fumbles, knowing that this is becoming a bad trend for the Jets. When looking at the ability to defend on third downs, there is a large difference, as the Broncos are giving up 20-of-66 (30.3%) of them while the Jets are allowing 23-of-62 (37.1%) to convert. All in all, go with the Denver Broncos to cover the spread in the neutral-site game.
Over/Under Pick for Broncos vs. Jets
- UNDER 43.5 (4 units)
Eventually, this New York Jets defense is going to have to show up and at least play well early in the game. Aaron Glenn is a defensive-minded coach, and the personnel should be doing a lot better than they have shown through the first five weeks. Denver’s defense has been outstanding and should continue to play at a great level as the New York offense has failed to really showcase the ability to put up points outside of Week 1. With Justin Fields on the injury report, but expected to play, there is going to be some concern for him being at 100% for this game. Take UNDER 43.5 POINTS in an overseas neutral site battle as the better option.
