The Cincinnati Bengals travel to face the Denver Broncos in a pivotal Week 4 Monday Night Football showdown that presents some solid value in the NFL player prop markets.

Down to backup QB Jake Browning, the Bengals enter this contest looking to ignite an offense that has struggled to find consistency, averaging just 220.7 yards per game. Meanwhile, the Broncos return home to Empower Field at Mile High where they’ve been dominant, winning their last six games straight-up. Bengals vs Broncos kicks off at 8:15 pm ET on Monday, September 29.

Below, I will break down the best Bengals vs Broncos player props (passing, rushing, receiving, and touchdown props) to target in the backend of tonight’s MNF doubleheader.

Bengals vs Broncos Passing Props

PlayerPassing YardsPass CompletionsPassing TDs
Bo Nix (DEN)219.5 (-114o/-114u)21.5 (-102o/-129u)1.5 (-105o/-123u)
Jake Browning (CIN)219.5 (-113o/-116u)21.5 (-103o/-128u)1.5 (+157o/-212u)

The market has established identical passing yards and completions lines for both quarterbacks. The most significant divergence is in the passing-touchdown props, where Bo Nix over 1.5 TDs has moved from an opening +105 to the current -105 odds, indicating strong market confidence in his ability to throw multiple scores at home. Conversely, Jake Browning over 1.5 passing TDs remains at a distant +157.

The completion props show clear market sentiment favoring unders for both signal-callers. Browning’s under has shifted from -111 to -128, while Nix’s under moved from -130 to -129, suggesting bettors anticipate a lower-volume passing attack from both offenses.

Best CIN vs DEN Passing Prop to Bet: Bo Nix Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns

The market movement tells the story on this prop. Opening at +105 underdog odds, consistent money has pushed Nix’s multiple touchdown line into favorite territory at -105 at most sportsbooks, though bettors can still get it at even-money at BetRives. This isn’t speculative betting, the data supports a productive night for Denver’s sophomore signal-caller. The Broncos average 22.7 points per game, with 62.5% red zone conversion rate and are likely to see short fields against a turnover-prone Jake Browning (five interceptions in his last seven quarters). Trust the market momentum pointing toward a multi-touchdown performance from Nix.

Bengals/Broncos Rushing & Receiving Props

PlayerRushing AttemptsRushing YardsReceptionsReceiving Yards
Chase Brown (CIN)15.5 (-108o/-121u)53.5 (-114o/-114u)2.5 (-175o/+129u)18.5 (-115o/-112u)
Ja’Marr Chase (CIN)5.5 (-112o/-117u)64.5 (-113o/-114u)
Tee Higgins (CIN)3.5 (-152o/+115u)51.5 (-116o/-112u)
Mike Gesicki (CIN)2.5 (-119o/-110u)23.5 (-114o/-114u)
JK Dobbins (DEN)14.5 (-118o/-112u)64.5 (-115o/-115u)1.5 (-137o/+104u)9.5 (-116o/-113u)
Courtland Sutton (DEN)5.5 (+118o/-156u)65.5 (-113o/-115u)
Troy Franklin (DEN)3.5 (-124o/-106u)43.5 (-116o/-114u)
Marvin Mims Jr (DEN)2.5 (-104o/-125u)28.5 (-116o/-114u)

Courtland Sutton leads all receivers with a 65.5-yard receiving line, slightly ahead of Ja’Marr Chase at 64.5 yards. Sutton’s reception prop (5.5 O/U) is heavily juiced to the under at -156. This pricing suggests the expectation is for Sutton to produce his yardage through explosive plays rather than high-volume targets.

The most dramatic line movement belongs to Chase Brown’s rushing-attempts prop. His over opened as a massive favorite at -188 but has swung to -108. This represents one of the largest moves in the entire prop market and warrants attention from bettors looking to fade the public.

JK Dobbins enters as the projected lead back with the highest rushing yards line at 64.5.

Best CIN vs DEN Rushing Prop to Bet: Chase Brown Under 55.5 Rushing Yards

While Zac Taylor will surely want to establish the run game to protect backup quarterback Jake Browning, Cincinnati has really struggled to find any success on the ground this season. The Bengals currently have one of the league’s worst rushing attacks, averaging a paltry 49 yards per game and a mere 2.41 yards per carry.

They will be facing a stout Denver front that allows only 114.7 rushing yards per game. Even if Brown sees a high volume of carries due to the game plan, his efficiency is likely to be severely hampered by the Broncos’ defense, making it difficult for him to exceed his rushing-yard total.

Brown’s O/U is as low as 53.5 at DraftKings but bettors can still get U 55.5 (-115) at ESPN Bet if they hurry.

CIN vs DEN Touchdown Props

PlayerAnytime TDFirst TD
JK Dobbins (DEN)-137+441
Chase Brown (CIN)+133+825
Courtland Sutton (DEN)+132+706
Ja’Marr Chase (CIN)+177+1075
Tee Higgins (CIN)+252+1525
Troy Franklin (DEN)+255+1175
Bo Nix (DEN)+280+1300
Evan Engram (DEN)+377+1650
Marvin Mims Jr (DEN)+388+1750
Mike Gesicki (CIN)+477+2725
Andrei Iosivas (CIN)+900+4250
Drew Sample (CIN)+1100+5750

JK Dobbins is the only odds-on favorite to find the end zone at -137. His line has tightened from an opening price of -120.

The most intriguing value appears with Ja’Marr Chase, whose anytime touchdown odds have drifted significantly from +125 to +177 at BetMGM (and even longer at DraftKings). This movement against the Bengals’ top offensive weapon creates a potential buying opportunity for those who believe the market has overreacted to recent performance trends.

Best Anytime Touchdown Prop to Bet: Ja’Marr Chase Anytime TD

The odds for Chase to find the end zone have swung way too far from the opening line of +125. He’s as long as +185 at DraftKings.

The Bengals may struggle between the 20-yard lines, but their red zone efficiency is elite: Cincinnati boasts a 75% red-zone conversion rate (when they’ve gotten close, they’ve found the end zone). Chase remains their most dangerous weapon, and this price fails to reflect his game-breaking ability in scoring situations.
