Written by CBS SPORTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on November 13, 2023
The Denver Broncos will ride momentum into Highmark Stadium in NFL Week 10 for a Monday Night Football matchup with the Buffalo Bills. The Broncos (3-5) won consecutive games before their bye week, so they’re rested for the primetime MNF matchup. The Bills (5-4) have lost three of their past five games, dropping a 24-18 decision to the Bengals last Sunday, but they are a tough team to beat at home. The most recent meeting between the teams came in 2020, a 48-19 Buffalo road victory that was its third straight against Denver.
Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. The SportsLine consensus lists Buffalo as a seven-point favorite, while the over/under is 47.5 in the latest Broncos vs. Bills odds.

Why the Bills can cover
Buffalo has won all three meetings in its three-game run against Denver by at least 10 points. The Bills are 7-0 against the spread in the past seven meetings. They also have won 11 of their past 12 home games. The Broncos’ defense allows a staggering 406 yards and 28.3 points per game. Allen has had turnover issues, but is fourth in the NFL in passing yards (2,423) and has 233 rushing yards and 24 total TDs.
Receiver Stefon Diggs is third with 834 receiving yards on a league-high 70 catches. He is third in receiving touchdowns with seven, and Gabe Davis has five TDs and averages 14 yards per catch. Russell Wilson could have trouble against a Bills defense that has five players with at least five sacks.
