Denver Broncos

FanDuel Price: $5,400
numberFire Projection: 12 FanDuel points

The Denver Broncos host the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football in a game that could get real ugly, real fast. Vegas has listed the Broncos as a 10-point favorite, and the Giants implied team total is only 13.5, the lowest on the slate.

The 0-5 Giants are is quickly spiraling out of control -- they lost Odell Beckham to a season-ending ankle injury, and now Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is openly feuding with head coach Ben McAdoo.

Meanwhile, the Broncos defense is coming off of a bye week and has played lights-out through four games. They rank as the 2nd-best defense, per numberFire metrics and now face a Giants team that has struggled to protect a turnover-prone Eli Manning all season. Through five games, Manning has committed at least one turnover in four games, and in two of those games, he's had 2 or more giveaways. Manning has also been sacked multiple times in three of his games, including two in which he was sacked 5 times.

Against a struggling, short-handed Giants team, the Broncos will be a popular play, but the most expensive defense on the slate is still worth paying up for.
