Denver is at home and has been much better this season, so it’s no surprise to see the Broncos listed as the favorite in this one. The Giants haven’t been good on offense this year and are now missing their top two offensive weapons. It wouldn’t be a shock if they are held down by a spectacular Broncos defense.
Watch this regular season Week 6 matchup live on Sunday, October 15, 2017, at 8:30 p.m. ET at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium.

Denver Broncos -11.5
Over/Under 39.5
Odds Analysis
It’s rare to see a scoring total under 40, but that is the case in this one because of New York’s awful offense and Denver’s great defense. The bettors believe in it as more than 83 percent of the money is taking the “under.”
The Giants are big underdogs and even so the Broncos are still getting the majority of the action to cover. Denver is -670 to win on the moneyline while New York is the +489 underdog. Even though the Giants are a mess, that payout is intriguing just in case they manage to put it all together and come away with a win.
Injury Report
Odell Beckham, Jr. — The Giants’ star wideout fractured his ankle last week and will miss the rest of the season. He is one of the best pass-catchers in the NFL and was the only game-breaking weapon on the Giants’ offense. This is a critical blow and really ends New York’s chances of any type of turnaround in 2017.
Brandon Marshall -- The veteran wideout was brought in to help out Beckham but he never got going, and now Marshall is out for the season as well after season-ending ankle surgery. The Giants’ passing game was poor before these injuries and now it might be downright pitiful.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie -- The Giants’ cornerback isn’t hurt but has been suspended by the team for leaving the practice facility on Wednesday. He packed up his things and it remains to be seen if he plans to return, but DRC will definitely not play in this one. It is just another controversy in a season that has gone downhill quickly in New York.
Key Stat
4. The number of home games the Broncos will have among their first five contests when this one is done. They have gone 3-0 thus far and are expected to cruise to another victory.
The AFC West is tough so Denver needs to keep rolling up the victories, and this one is an eminently winnable contest. The Broncos began their home slate with a close win over the Chargers before blowing out the Cowboys. They held on to beat the Raiders last time out and now will welcome the Giants to Denver.
The Giants have played three games on the road and have actually been competitive in a pair of them but fell just short against the Eagles and Buccaneers. It remains to be seen if New York is in the right frame of mind mentally to keep this one close.
Free ATS Pick
The Giants still have some playmakers on defense, but this seems like a game that could snowball quickly. If the Broncos manage to get off to a fast start New York may fold.
While the talent disparity likely isn’t into the double digits, the Giants’ chaos has to be factored in. Choose the Broncos to cruise to the win, with the “under” the call because New York is going to struggle to get anything going offensively.
NFL Odds: Broncos 23, Giants 10
