Broncos-Seahawks Week 6 TNF Pick

 The Broncos are 3-2 after a hard-fought 23-17 win over the winless Chargers last week in LA. Now, they return home to Denver on a short week to take on the 3-2 Seahawks. This is a tough game for the Broncos. Obviously, a short week of preparation doesn't help Denver and their struggling offense. Bo Nix has not played well this season, and it seems like a lot to ask for him to suddenly catch fire playing that Seattle defense-even at home. Plus, the Broncos are dealing with a lot of injury issues right now. Pat Surtain and Talanoa Hufanga are both out of this game with ankle injuries, and Riley Moss is questionable. I said before the season that if Denver was 3-3 after their first six games, then they would be in good shape for the rest of the season. They have played a brutal schedule to start the year, and the Seahawks might be their toughest test. I think the Broncos will be able to go on a winning streak after this game, but I would be very surprised if they won tonight.

Prediction: Seattle (-2.5) over DENVER

Final Score: Seahawks-20 Broncos-7

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

Week 5 TNF Pick

 Tampa Bay (+8) over DALLAS

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

NEW ORLEANS (-2) over Atlanta 

Week 4 TNF Pick

 Pittsburgh (-3) over CLEVELAND 

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.....
