Broncos vs. Bengals prediction and fantasy outlook for Week 4 MNF feat. JK Dobbins, Chase Brown, and more

The Denver Broncos hosting the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night primetime is an exciting matchup. While the matchmakers were probably hoping Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow would be healthy for the game, there's still plenty to look forward to.

The Bengals might be sitting with a 2-1 record compared to the Broncos' 1-2, but Jake Browning filling in for Burrow makes Cincinnati the underdog.

That said, let's explore the betting preview of this Monday Night Football showdown.

Broncos vs. Bengals prediction

The Broncos are 7.5-point favorites heading into this showdown at Mile High, per CBS Sports.

Moneyline: Denver at -467

Over/under: 44.5 total points

The Bengals' quarterback disruption, with Browning replacing Burrow, is a major factor in this predicted outcome. The Broncos' pass rush advantage and run game edge at home also have them holding the high ground.

Ja'Marr Chase (CIN, WR)

Bengals star Ja'Marr Chase is usually a must-start player in fantasy. As the leader in Cincinnati's receiving room, he's always a reliable producer.
