Cincy (+3.5) over DENVER:
The Bengals come to Denver for a huge matchup in the AFC, but after the results from Sunday, the impact of this game changes. Cincy has already locked up the AFC North, so they are playing for seeding and a bye. The Broncos still need a win to lock up a playoff berth, and they will probably need 2 wins to win the AFC West. For Denver, the loss by Pittsburgh on Sunday at Baltimore was huge because if Denver loses tonight, then they can still get a playoff spot by beating San Diego at home in Week 17. But, they need to take care of things tonight. The only advantage I see Denver having in this game is the fact that A.J. McCarron is making only his second career start as he subs for the injured Andy Dalton. The Broncos do have a superior defense, so you would assume that their defense should give the young QB trouble. Everywhere else on the roster, the Bengals are more talented than Denver. I think the Broncos offense will have a tough time moving the ball at all against the Bengals defense, and I just don't trust Brock Osweiler enough to win this game on his own. I think it will come down to Week 17 for the Broncos just to make the playoffs.
Final Score: Bengals-23 Broncos-16
