The 6-4 Atlanta Falcons travel to Denver to take on the 5-5 Broncos in an interconference matchup with playoff implications.

The Falcons are coming off a hugely disappointing upset loss to the New Orleans Saints. Mistakes did Atlanta in as Younghoe Koo missed three of his four field goal attempts, and quarterback Kirk Cousins threw a crucial interception late in the fourth quarter. The Falcons have been explosive on offense this season, ranking fifth overall, but their defense ranks in the bottom half of the league against the run and pass.

The Broncos are coming off a tough loss of their own, coming one second short of giving the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the year. Unfortunately for Denver, the Chiefs blocked what would have been the game-winning field goal in that final second. The Broncos' defense has been great this season, ranking fifth overall, and rookie quarterback Bo Nix is continually getting better. 

Lets take a look at the best odds and bets for this matchup.

*Odds from Caesar Sportsbook and subject to change

Broncos vs. Falcons Moneyline

Broncos: -135
Falcons: +115

While this game is important for both teams, it's more so for Denver as it tries to stay above .500 and in the final AFC wild-card spot. The Broncos' offense has flaws, but should be able to put some points up on a lackluster Atlanta defense.

Denver's defense has the ability to put the clamps on a good Falcons offense, and Cousins has a knack for untimely turnovers. I like the Broncos to play hard and take care of business at home, and I'll bet the moneyline since the spread is so close.

Broncos vs. Falcons Spread

Broncos: -2 (-115)
Falcons: +2 (-105)

This is a very tight spread that won't win you much more money than betting the moneyline, so play it safe and avoid the spread.

Broncos vs. Falcons Over-Under 44 total points

Over: -110
Under: -110

As I said above, I think the Broncos' defense will keep Atlanta's offense in check. Denver's offense averages 19 points per game, so I'll take the under here.
