The Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals have been top contenders for almost the entire 2015 season, but both teams are limping down the stretch and need to find some momentum. Earning a win on Monday Night Football would be a big boost for both teams, but most experts are picking the Broncos to earn the victory.
Bengals vs. Broncos 2015 picks and predictions: Experts picking Denver to find a win on ‘Monday Night Football’
The Broncos and Bengals will duel on Monday in a game with plenty of postseason implications.
Denver could be in jeopardy of losing a spot in the postseason after back-to-back losses that have the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets breathing down their neck. The Broncos haven't lost three straight since 2011, but losing to the Bengals would be a serious blow to their postseason hopes even with the team's 10-4 record.
Still, experts believe that the top ranked defense of the Broncos should create trouble for the Bengals, who are relying on A.J. McCarron to try to lead the team to a first-round bye.
At CBS Sports, it's an even split of eight panelists, with four experts picking each team. ESPN doesn't have a split though, with all but two of 13 experts taking the Broncos to win. Only Eric Allen and Cris Carter are going against the grain and taking the Bengals.
SB Nation's team is siding with the Broncos, as well. Only NFL blog manager Joel Thorman is taking the Bengals to deal Denver its third-straight loss.
