Thursday Night Football Game Pick: Jets vs. Broncos

The New York Jets and the Denver Broncos will meet on Thursday when they fight at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

Whether you’re a Christian, an agnostic or a dyed-in-the-wool atheist, the truth of the matter is his holiness, St. Tim, has pumped new life into a Broncos team that was ready to be sent out to pasture following a 1-4 start to the 2011 betting season.

Now 3-1 SU and ATS under his lead, Tebow’s troops will look to avenge a 24-20 setback suffered here last year as 3.5-point dogs to the Jets.

And behind a rushing attack that ranks second-best in the league (159 RYP on 5.1 OYPR), they warrant a long, hard look. Denver’s 10-3 SU and 11-2 ATS log as a dog of 3 or more points in games against foes off a SU favorite loss sets the table.

The Flyboys’ 1-7 ATS mark as favorites off a SU favorite loss provides the bounty.

Say grace and be thankful as the Broncos get their fi rst ATS home win this season… for all the right reasons.

Take the Jets over Bronces by 1.

The Jets are listed as 5-point favorites against the Broncos, and the game's total is sitting at 42½.
