Russell Wilson threw three touchdown passes for the Broncos, but the Bears shredded the Denver defense for 471 yards.
Since the start of 2022, the Broncos own a dreadful 1-9-1 against the spread record as a favorite, including seven outright losses.The lone cover in this span came against Arizona last season and Wilson didn’t even play in that game as Brett Rypien led the Broncos to a 24-15 home win. The Jets have had their issues, but you can’t argue their schedule as they have faced the Bills, Cowboys and Chiefs so far.
