The Cleveland Browns (3-8) are set to face the Denver Broncos (7-4) on Monday Night Football, December 2, 2024, at Empower Field at Mile High. The Browns are coming off a significant upset victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, showcasing a physical offensive line and an effective running game. However, quarterback Deshaun Watson’s inconsistent performance remains a concern, leading to discussions about the potential extension of backup Jameis Winston, who previously played under Broncos head coach Sean Payton in New Orleans.
The Broncos, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning streak, bolstered by a defense that has forced 12 turnovers during this span. Quarterback Bo Nix has been instrumental in the team’s resurgence, effectively managing the offense. Denver’s defense, led by standout performances, aims to capitalize on Cleveland’s quarterback uncertainties. The Broncos are favored by 5.5 points, with an over/under set at 41.5, reflecting their home-field advantage and recent consistency.
