vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Denver grades out at 3.18 points better than an average team on a neutral field, up a hefty 0.92 from last week, and their 5-1 record against a 1.39 schedule strength says this is real rather than a soft start. The market is still pricing them 1.38 points below their rating, so they remain a buy and a live cover in the right matchup. The 18.0 points per game over the last five is the one soft spot, and with Hufanga, Elliss, and Badie out, the defense carrying a 14.0 allowance is doing more of the work than the rating's rise implies.
