After almost knocking off the Chiefs in prime time last week, Zach Wilson and the New York Jets head to altitude to take on the Denver Broncos, who just gave up career-high numbers to Justin Fields last week before making a miraculous comeback. The home side has climbed to a 2.5-point favorite in the NFL odds with a total that is also heading north after sitting as low as 40 on the look-ahead.
With some confidence coming off a solid performance vs. the Chiefs and facing arguably the worst defense in football, should bettors be backing Wilson for a second straight profitable week?
Here are my free NFL picks and predictions for this Week 5 matchup of Jets vs. Broncos on October 8.
