Broncos-Giants and Week 7 Picks

The Broncos won an ugly game against the Jets last week in London. The 13-11 win was not pretty, and Denver was lucky to get out of there with a win over the winless Jets, but it is a win and you'll take it. The Broncos are now 4-2 and host the Giants. Here's a fun fact that I remember. The Broncos are playing the Jets and Giants in back-to-back weeks. The last time that happened was in 1992 when they hosted the Jets and Giants in back-to-back weeks at Mile High Stadium. I was in 8th grade, and the Broncos won both games convincingly, but John Elway got hurt late in the Giants game and he would miss the next four games after that. Denver was 7-3 after that Giants game, but lost four straight without Elway and were 7-7 by the time he came back. They finished 8-8 that year and missed the playoffs. This time around the Giants come in with some momentum after dominating the Eagles last Thursday night, and they will have 10 days to rest while Denver came home from London. This will be a tough game. The G-Men are 2-4 but have some life with Jaxson Dart at QB. The Broncos will have to find a way to get the offense going. This is a tough game to read, and I just have a feeling the Broncos will struggle as a result of their long two weeks away in Philly and in London.

Prediction: Giants (+7) over DENVER

Final Score: Giants-24 Broncos-20

Broncos-Jets and Week 6 Picks

The Broncos head to London to take on the Jets. This is only the third London game for the Broncos in franchise history. I'm not really a fan of London games. I hate the early 9:30 am EST start time on the East coast, and I just think these games are weird. I think Denver should win the game, but I am concerned about a let down after last week's huge win over the Eagles in Philadelphia. 

Prediction: Jets (+7.5) over Denver (In London)

Final Score: Jets-23 Broncos-20

Broncos-Eagles and Week 5 Picks

Denver got back to 2-2 with a convincing 28-3 win at home over the Bengals last week on Monday Night Football. Obviously, the Bengals are not good without Joe Burrow, but you have to give credit to Denver. Bo Nix had his best game of the season, J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey dominated in the ground game, and the Broncos defense dominated the Bengals offense. Nik Bonitto is the front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year so far in 2025. He has been that good. Now, Denver has a short week and heads to Philly to take on the defending Super Bowl champs. The Eagles are 4-0, but they have looked very vulnerable these first four weeks. I think Denver will play the Eagles really tough but just fall short in the end. 

Prediction: PHILADELPHIA (-3.5) over Denver

Final Score: Eagles-26 Broncos-20 

Now, onto the picks for Week 5.....

Last Week's Record: 9-6-1

JETS (+3) over Dallas

Tennessee (+7.5) over ARIZONA

Tampa Bay (+3) over SEATTLE

CINCINNATI (+11) over Detroit

CHARGERS (-3) over Washington

New England (+8) over BUFFALO

Kansas City (-3) over JACKSONVILLE

Week 5 TNF Pick

San Francisco (+7) over RAMS  

Broncos-Bengals and Week 4 Picks

The Broncos are 1-2 after two straight losses to Indy and the Chargers. They return home to Denver to take on the 2-1 Bengals on Monday Night Football. Joe Burrow is out with a foot injury until at least the middle of December. Jake Browning had a rough day last week as the Bengals got killed in Minnesota. I would not expect the Bengals to play as bad as they did last week, and I would expect Browning to play a lot better as well. The Broncos lost two games as time expired in both games. They never trailed in the 4th quarter of either game.  They need to stop taking bad penalties, they need Bo Nix to step it up a notch, and they need Sean Payton to right this ship. Until I see it, I can't believe they will. 

Prediction: Cincinnati (+7.5) over DENVER

Final Score: Bengals-26 Broncos-24
