We get our first glimpse of Russell Wilson in a Denver Broncos uniform on Monday night following his trade from Seattle. He is following the trend of veteran QBs to leave their initial franchise in search of greener pastures. That list includes Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Matt Stafford and Joe Montana. Three of those players won a Super Bowl with their second team. I'm very high on Wilson this year and love him as an MVP candidate at 14/1 if you can still nab it. For now, let's focus on Monday night and my favorite prop plays for the Broncos vs Sea hawks game.

Brandon McManus over 2.5 PATs made (+123)
New Broncos OC Justin Outten has gone on record stating that he believes his team could be the highest-scoring offense in the league and I believe him. Russell Wilson has a bevy of weapons at his disposal in Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon — in short, this team should put up points. The line on Broncos to score over 2.5 TDs is at -190 so I'm going to pivot to their kicker hitting his XPs at +123. Brendon McManus is 97.3% on XPs for his career and nearly 95% on the road. In 8 seasons, McManus has hit 97% or better in 6/8. I like the Broncos to run an up-tempo offense on Monday night that puts points on the board. Give me the plus-odds.
