Denver rookie quarterback Bo Nix did a lot of good against Baltimore. This type of game requires even more than that. He overshot Troy Franklin for a touchdown on fourth down in the first half and Lil’Jordan Humphrey in the back of the end zone before halftime — though the Broncos scored after that.

After winning five of six to establish itself as a potential playoff contender, Denver (5-4) couldn't compete with a team that reached the AFC title game last season and features two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, who carved up a Broncos defense that was ranked among the league's best.

The Baltimore Ravens (5-3) play the Denver Broncos (5-3) on Sunday, November 3, 2024 at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens are notable favorites in this one, with the spread posted at 9.5 points.
