Denver looks to rough up rookie Cam Ward and the Titans Sunday in a Week 1 game in the late window at 4:05 ET on Fox.

Denver has covered the spread in each of their last nine games as a favorite and is coming off a playoff season. The Titans slumped to 3-14 last year and drafted Ward out of Miami with the No. 1 pick.

Titans vs Broncos Player Prop Picks

Now let’s look at some player props that are worth a play.

Broncos Def/ST Touchdown (+600 at DraftKings)

This was the first one I saw that I was all over. Denver had five defensive/special teams scores last year, and remember, Ward is making his NFL debut, and you know he’s going to struggle at some point. The Denver defense is still led by NFL Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II at corner. This is a match-up that favors Denver all the way.

Bo Nix over 230 yards passing (+136 at DraftKings)

Nix played better as the season went on last season for the Broncos, leading them to the playoffs. He threw for over 230 yards in five of his last seven games, which shows you where this offense is heading. Tennessee’s defense was surpringsingly good last year, but did rank 30 th in points allowed.

Joey Slye 2+ FG made (+103 at DraftKings)

This one is for the Tennessee crowd, and there may not be much to shout about on Sunday in Denver, but we’re seeing a kicker renaissance in the NFL. Slye has been all over the league and has always been above average. He was 26-33 last season with the Patriots. The Titans may not get many scoring chances, so Slye may be their best weapon.

Titans vs Broncos Prediction

• Broncos -8.5 at BetMGM

• Under 42.5 at BetMGM

I’m predicting a comfortable Denver win, somewhere in the 21-6 range. Quarterbacks drafted No. 1 and starting their first game do not usually have much success. Ward could be the next Jalen Daniels, but he doesn’t have much to work with on offense. He has Falcons retread Calvin Ridley as his best WR and Cowboys castoff Tony Pollard as his running back. The Titans defense is pretty good though.

Nix has more to work with offensively, and the Broncos defense is also strong. They brought in former Niners star Talanoa Hufanga in free agency, Hufanga has missed parts of the last two years with injuries. But the big thing is the Denver crowd and Denver defense will have Ward rattled, especially early on. I don’t see many points, but I’m high on Denver.
