NFL Best Bets & Odds: Week 7 Thursday Night Football
Denver Broncos vs. Cleveland Browns
Date: Thursday, October 21, 2021
Time: 8:20 p.m. EST
Venue: FirstEnergy Stadium — Cleveland, Ohio
Coverage: FOX/NFL Network
The Broncos started the season hot. However, Denver has now lost three games in a row, though they have a great opportunity to get back on track tonight. Their offense began to come alive late last week, scoring 17 second half points. If they can keep that momentum going on the road, the opportunity is there, as the Browns have surrendered 84 points the past two weeks.
Cleveland is in trouble. Their injury list is long, as tonight they will be without both starting running backs and quarterback Baker Mayfield. Instead, it will be Case Keenum getting the start, looking for revenge against his former team. The offense could also welcome back Jarvis Landry off IR, though that has yet to be determined. It would be a welcome addition to an offense that has been snakebit.
