Joe Burrow has been on a mission and until the Cincinnati Bengals are officially eliminated from the playoffs, it’s going to be difficult to convince him that he isn’t primed to make a run.

Our Broncos vs. Bengals player prop picks as part of our NFL Week 17 predictions lean into Burrow’s recent hot stretch and predict that it continues in Saturday’s home game.

The Bengals (-3) host the Broncos at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, Saturday at 4:30 p.m. (NFL Network).

The Broncos have allowed the fewest number of touchdowns per game to the wide receiver position among all NFL teams this season, so we want to be selective when scouring the odds for Cincinnati’s receivers.

Tee Higgins is a threat on Saturday afternoon after his recent run of touchdown dominance and unlike the odds between -145 and -196 for Ja’Marr Chase, we can still get Higgins at reasonable value.

Higgins has scored a touchdown in five of his last six games yet still has plus-money odds on an anytime touchdown. The best odds on Higgins to find the end zone come from FanDuel at +145.

Rookie running back Audric Estime has shaken off a slow start to his season and put up a respectable 48 rushing yards on nine carries last week against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Sean Payton has continued to say that Estime has earned more opportunities, and with Estime’s 4.6 YPC on the season, he may only need six or seven attempts to clear his rushing line on Saturday.

DraftKings lists Estime’s line at 25-plus yards, akin to Over 24.5 yards at bet365. With both props at -110, those are our recommended spots for this prop for a small edge over the 25.5-yard props at our other best sports betting sites.

Joe Burrow Over 2.5 passing touchdowns (+162) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +162 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 38.17%

Although the Denver defense would have been viewed earlier in the year as a bad matchup for quarterback success, we’ve since seen Lamar Jackson, Jameis Winston, and most recently Justin Herbert put up big numbers on the Broncos.

Joe Burrow has thrown three-plus passing touchdowns in seven consecutive games leading into Week 17. Only three NFL teams have allowed fewer rushing scores than the Broncos, so with the Bengals favored in a game with a 49.5-point total, we’re looking for Burrow to carry the load.

The odds on Burrow Over 2.5 passing touchdowns are available at plus-money from all of our top sportsbooks, but the best edge comes from FanDuel with odds at +162.
