Denver has incentive in this game after starting the preseason 0-2 and blowing a late lead in losing to the Bears 24-23 last week. Coach Vance Joseph won all four exhibition games in his first season in 2017 and went 3-0-1 ATS. Washington is in desperate need of running backs and it showed as the Redskins signed 33-year-old Adrian Peterson to a one-year deal on Tuesday. Injuries have taken their toll and the Redskins eked out a 15-13 win over the Jets in Week Two. Colt McCoy went 12-of-16 for 140 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. Kevin Hogan was 7-of-11 for 58 yards and Alex Smith was 4-of-6 for 48 yards and all of Washington's points came on field goals. Jay Gruden is 13-5 UNDER in preseason, including 4-0 UNDER last year. Case Keenum reportedly is upset with his performance so far although he did complete 8-of-13 for 78 yards with no picks against Chicago. Chad Kelly was 7-of-9 for 90 yards and a touchdown and Paxton Lynch looks to be on the outside looking in. The Broncos defense held the Bears to only 55 yards on 2.4 yards per rush. Look for Denver to bounce back, so play the Broncos and the UNDER.
