Broncos-Chargers and Week 5 Picks

A lot of drama in Denver this week coming off of last week's loss at SF. Sean Payton has resumed play-calling from Davis Webb after four games and a 2-2 start. You can argue that the play-calling hasn't been good, but the real problem with the offense is Bo Nix. He just isn't playing well at all. I don't know if the ankle is still an issue and he is not fully healthy, but he just doesn't look right. The whole offense looks broken and not right either. I know the Chargers are banged up for this game and coming in at 0-4, but I still just don't trust the Broncos.

Prediction: CHARGERS (+3.5) over Denver

Final Score: Chargers-23 Broncos-20

Broncos-49ers and Week 4 Picks

The Broncos won a classic last week on SNF at home against the Rams. The 30-26 victory was another great Broncos comeback- something they have perfected the last season and a half. At 2-1, Denver heads to SF to take on the 3-0 49ers. This is another challenge in this tough stretch to open the season. It is going to be really hot in San Francisco this Sunday, and it will be tough for Denver to hold up against this Niners team. Denver can't get off to a slow start once again and expect to win this game. I think the Broncos could get grinded out in this one.

Prediction: SAN FRANCISCO (-2.5) over Denver

Final Score: 49ers-27 Broncos-17

Broncos-Rams and Week 3 Picks

The Broncos rebounded with a strong second half last week in the Week 2 win over Jacksonville. Down 13-3, Denver made a comeback to win the game 20-13. It was a game that was very reminiscent of a lot of last year's games. Now, the schedule gets even tougher. The Rams, fresh off a win over the Giants, come into Denver for Sunday Night Football. This is one of the marquee games of the weekend, and it will be an interesting measuring point for this Broncos team. I expect a close game, but I think the Rams will be too much for Denver in this one.

Prediction: Rams (-2.5) over DENVER

Final Score: Rams-26 Broncos-20

Now, onto the picks for Week 3.....

Week 3 TNF Pick

 Atlanta (+5) over GREEN BAY

Broncos-Jaguars and Week 2 Picks

The Broncos got absolutely embarrassed Monday night in the 2026 opener at Kansas City. The 31-10 loss was really disappointing. When you wait almost eight months for the season to start, and then your team comes out and gives a performance like the Broncos gave in that game is really discouraging. There's no way around it. A lot of people will overreact to Week 1, and it does tend to fool people, but I am worried about the Broncos. Their first six games doesn't give them time to figure things out. It won't get any easier this week when the Jaguars come to Denver. Jacksonville buried the Broncos 34-17 last year in December in Denver, and the Jags won their first game at home in convincing fashion. I would expect Denver to play better in this game, but I don't think it will be enough. I think the Jags will come to Denver and win again.

Prediction: Jacksonville (+2.5) over DENVER

Final Score: Jaguars-31 Broncos-20 

Now, onto the picks for Week 2.....
