Denver Broncos DFS Spin
The Broncos are hurting at the skill positions on offense. Wide receiver KJ Hamler is out indefinitely with a hamstring injury and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is officially listed as questionable with an ankle injury. Jeudy’s status will be a game-time decision, according to Broncos’ head coach Nathaniel Hackett. What’s worse, Denver’s #1 wide receiver Courtland Sutton is questionable for Sunday’s contest with an illness. By process of elimination, that leaves Broncos’ tight end Greg Dulcich as one of the only viable DFS options on Denver’s offense this weekend.
If you’re looking for a defense, Denver’s unit has been one of the best in the NFL this season. The Broncos’ defense ranks in the top five in the NFL in opponent yards per play, opponent points per play, opponent yards per point, and opponent punts per offensive score. You might be able to get Denver’s D for a good price in DFS this weekend and they’d be a worthy choice.
Baltimore Ravens DFS Spin
When it comes to DFS you should always consider using Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson has thrown for 2,231 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions this season. In addition to that, he’s run for 755 yards and 3 touchdowns. Jackson has rushed for at least 55 yards in 8 out of his last 11 games for the Ravens this season. He may be forced to scramble against a good Denver defense this weekend.
The Broncos are a bit vulnerable against the run though, which makes Ravens’ running back Gus Edwards a viable contrarian play on Sunday. Denver is allowing 4.6 yards per rushing attempt, a figure that ranks 19th in the NFL. Gus Edwards should see a full workload on Sunday as he’s ascended to the top of the depth chart with Baltimore starter JK Dobbins remaining out with a knee injury for Sunday’s game. Edwards is averaging 4.3 yards per carry and has scored 3 rushing touchdowns in 3 games of action this season.
Broncos vs. Ravens Betting Trends
Denver is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games

Denver is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games in Baltimore.
Baltimore is 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games in December.
Broncos vs. Ravens Prediction:
Denver’s offense has been putrid all season. The Broncos rank last in the NFL in points per play, yards per point, and punts per offensive score. Their offense was bad with everyone healthy. Now they’re down to Latavius Murray at running back and Kendall Hinton at wide receiver if Courtland Sutton is unable to play. The Broncos’ defense has been terrific all season but it hasn’t mattered because of how bad Russell Wilson and Denver’s offense have played. I think things reach a breaking point for Denver on Sunday and the Ravens win convincingly at home against a Broncos team in the midst of a tailspin.
NFL WEEK 13 PREDICTION: BALTIMORE RAVENS -9.5
